A Redmi Phone Will Feature New 64MP Sensor From Samsung

South Korean tech giant Samsung introduced a new 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor in May. Soon after the release, rumour has it that the Samsung Galaxy A70s is probably the first phone to have a 64MP sensor. As per a famous tipster, Ice Universe, in addition to a phone in the Galaxy A lineup, a Redmi phone is expected to sport this new snapper.

The tipster also revealed that Samsung will internationally introduce the 64GMP sensor through a new phone in the Galaxy A lineup and a new Redmi smartphone will also be featuring the sensor in the Chinese market. That means one of two devices will be the first 64MP-camera smartphone in the world.

The Samsung 64MP sensor can provide 16MP imaging output in the low-light conditions through the company's Tetra cell tech of Samsung. Also, the sensor supports real-time HDR (up to 100db). Smartphones coming with it will let users record slow-motion videos with 1080p resolution and Super PD PDAF tech. The 64MP sensor’s mass production will start in Q2 2019. Therefore, smartphones with this sensor will launch by the end of 2019.

The upcoming Galaxy A70s is set to launch at the same time frame. As it is the upgraded model of the Galaxy A70 launched before, the Galaxy A70s probably comes with the same internals. The only big difference may be the introduction of a 64MP sensor. Samsung hasn’t unveiled the Galaxy A90. It is said to feature the ISOCELL GW1 sensor. But, the device may not have it as it probably debuts before or around the time when Samsung carries out the 64MP ISOCELL GW’s mass production.

Xiaomi phone with a 64MP sensor also draws attention. Currently, there is no information about which Redmi smartphone could have it. Most important Redmi phones have been unveiled in Q1 2019 already. Therefore, it is likely that the Redmi phones will be launched in the second half of this year.
