The accompany has been slowly releasing teasers for its upcoming Redmi Note 11 launch, mainly in the way of lifestyle shots for the phones. The launch event on October 28 is matter-of-course to be China-lone, though the phones volition likely get a global liberate.

So information technology seems the Redmi Note 11 Pro, and maybe the vanilla model too, will get a 108MP main sensor, though we don't know the glasses of the other rear cameras yet. This isn't the first phone with such a sensor from Xiaomi, or even the first low-cost one, with the Redmi Note 10 Pro getting one and only, but it shows normalization of this spec.

Analysis: 108MP sensors wholly approximately

Though the first 108MP phone was actually a mid-fire warden (the Xiaomi Military Intelligence Section 5 Note 10), for a years the big majority of phones with this kind of sensor were round top-end ones like the Xiaomi Air mil 10, Samung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Motorola Inch Summation.

18 months after those handsets began launching, we've seen 108MP snappers trickle down to budget phones. Recently the Realme 8 Pro, Motorola Edge 20 Fat-free and the aforementioned Redmi Note 10 Pro totally got unrivaled.

So now, you Don't need to salary very much of money if you want a super-high-RES camera detector.

This is how technical school features generally work - they debut in expensive handsets, and gradually come to more cheap devices. The same could be aforementioned for aggregate rear cameras, in-screen fingerprint sensors and external body part recognition.

The only difference with 108MP cameras is that you could argue that the real use case of high-res pictures hasn't really been launch for all audiences eventually. Only certain users need this forgiving of sharply piece of cak, and lots of headphone buyers likely North Korean won't benefit from such a detector.

When the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 gets a global release we'll test information technology to see how well information technology works, merely it still remains to be seen how many normal consumers need a 108MP tv camera.
