Xiaomi Mi 10
The Mi 10 is the first smartphone under Rs 50,000 to rock the 108MP camera sensor developed by Samsung’s imaging team. The sensor measures 1/1.33”, second only to the size of the custom sensor used in the Huawei P40 Pro+. The large sensor size accommodates more than a 100 million 0.8 micron pixels, which helps in achieving noise-free digital zoom and a fair amount of detail at 100% crop. The sensor also outputs 27MP photos by default by binning four neighbouring 0.8um pixels into a large 1.6um pixels, the same technology used in the previous 48MP and 64MP cameras. There’s a 13MP ultrawide and two 2MP sensors for macro and portrait photos. Indeed, the final JPEG output is largely improved by the new Spectra ISP on the Snapdragon 865 which works in tandem with Xiaomi’s colour-boosting AI algorithm and HDR mode to produce photos that look highly palatable.
