Xiaomi has lifted the lid on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, its latest premier smartphone. Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and impressive camera hardware, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra also has a high-resolution display and up to 512 GB of storage, among other features.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaomi-12S-Ultra-New-camera-flagship-debuts-with-Sony-IMX989-1-inch-camera-and-Snapdragon-8-Plus-Gen-1-chipset.633053.0.html
Argh!It's not a "1-inch" sensor, much less a "1-inch camera"!! There's no such thing as a "1-inch camera"! The Type-1" sensor format is about 2/3" in measured diagonal! True, Xiaomi attempts to portray it otherwise, it's a blatant lie!
This is some truly amateur reportage.
Manufacturers should really stop using the archaic pick-up tube -format for describing sensor sizes in any modern camera system. The 12S Ultra's sensor is the largest ever used in a smartphone yet it's nowhere near one inch in any direction, not even diagonally.
It's a bit of a shame that this phone probably won't see an international release.
