108MP camera mentions do t explicitly mention kind of sensor involved but re’s only one doing that sort of stuff for w – Samsung's newly anunced ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor. Sony is yet to anunce a competing sensor. Samsung’s 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor works on same principle as its 64MP GW1, 48MP GM1 and 32MP GD1 sensors – effectively producing sharper, more detailed 27MP photos in low light and using software interpolation to produce high resolution 64MP photos as and when required. Xiaomi has confirmed that it will be first company in world to ship a smartphone equipped with Samsung’s 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor and while we still await furr details, looks like, megapixel wars have only just begun.
