Xiaomi Announces its First 200 Megapixel Camera Phone
Xiaomi’s latest flagship phones are official after weeks of hype through teasers. As the name suggests, the new 12T and 12T Pro are part of the Chinese brand’s flagship 12 series. The 12T Pro takes the spotlight with its incredible 200MP camera, which is a first for Xiaomi and a second for the industry.
Both phones are mostly identical down to the chipset and camera specs.
Xiaomi 12T Pro Design And Display
Both phones are identical in design. Both have a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1080p (1220 x 2712 pixels) and a smooth refresh rate of 120 Hz. The panel supports 1 billion colors, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. The fingerprint sensor is under the screen and the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5.
Xiaomi 12T Pro Internal Components & Software
The standard Xiaomi 12T is equipped with MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 Ultra SoC that offers high-end performance. Meanwhile, the 12T Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s high-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. Neither phone has a microSD card slot, but both have up to 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.
As software, you get Android 12 OS with MIUI 13.
Xiaomi 12T Pro Camera
As mentioned, the highlight here is the 200 MP main camera of the 12T Pro, which is based on the same Samsung ISOCELL HP1 sensor that is also used in the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. But unlike its rival Motorola, the Xiaomi 12T Pro is capable of capturing 200MP images much faster. The regular 12T has to make do with a 108MP sensor.
Secondary sensors are fairly standard, including an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP macro sensor. This camera can record videos up to 4K at 60 FPS.
Both phones use the same 20MP selfie camera.
