Xiaomi 12S Ultra's camera successor is backed to launch as an Android smartphone with a significant charging upgrade

[Redaktion]

The 12S Ultra is the device in which Xiaomi has debuted the Sony IMX989 camera sensor for its smartphones. Despite this, the Leica-tuned flagship lags behind others from its OEM in terms of maximum charging speeds. Now, a famous leaker asserts that the company intends to correct this in the next premium mobile device to rock a 1-inch sensor.

FFS...it's not a "1-inch sensor"! It's plain misleading.

It's not misleading.

1 inch in cylinder format and 1 inch in diagnonal format are two different things. Xiaomi is still correct here either way, plus the sensor size is the largest of any popular phones out there.

Maybe Xiaomi should do the same as Sony and market it as "1 inch type" sensor which refers to the cylinder format sensor but the way you interpret the sensor is up to the reader.

It's not called "cylinder format", it's called "tube format", and the only proper way of referring to a sensor size in tube format is to use the quotation mark, not the English word, to designate "inch", with "Type", yes, capitalized, as a necessity! It was formerly Type-1", now just Type 1, but Xiaomi threw Type away while drawing a diagonal across their depiction of the sensor labeling it "1英寸"(Chinese!!) , which is fundamentally deceiving!
