Xiaomi Just updated your flagship smartphoneFilling it even more with leaka camera tech, but obviously, this is not enough. The company has also announced a concept called “modular optical system”, which asks: “What if you can attach four -thirds of sensors and lenses to magnetically behind your phone?”
A video posted on Xiaomi’s YouTube channel features a module, which includes a sensor with a “light fusion x sensor” that is “paired with a 35mm equiv,” the correct 100MP gives clarity. F1.4 lens in a relatively small package. The company says it produces “Strikes Sharp Image” despite its size. The module is magnetically connected to the back of your phone, requiring a mechanical latching system or pairing process.

While the increasing number of phones includes magnetic ring on the back for QE2 charging standard, the system will still require specially designed phones. This is because it uses lasers to get data on the phone from the camera module. While it seems foreigner, consumer devices have long used laser, such as to transmit data, such as in case Tosalink in audio devicesOr fiber internet connection. Of course, this means that your phone has a window to travel through the laser, as well as hardware to get signals.
Xiaomi says that it allows to achieve only nanoseconds of delay, which is important when you are trying to preview your image. The company also promises raw files with the dynamic range of 16EV, although the video means that it is doing many exposure – this phone is a standard fare for photography, but this means that the resulting image will not be raw in the pure meaning of the word.
Xiaomi smartphone is close to a step to achieve photography dreams
There is no description in this system when this system will make it in a commercial product that you can actually buy, if it is also in the card. However, it seems that the Xiaomi smartphone is close to a step to achieve photography: A device dedicated camera quality that you already have and always with you.
This is a goal that many other smartphone manufacturers have followed through similar way: Sony was increasing the camera module for the phone in 2013. With its QX seriesAnd like companies Samsung And Jesus Used with devices that were hybrid Android phones and compact cameras. We have also seen cameras that add them to the sensor and get very small lenses, such as Ricoh GXRSony RX1 and Fujifilm X100 series. But when the concept may not be new, Xiaomi’s concept is one of the thinnly seen in smartphone space.
This does not mean that it is absolutely comfortable. Of course, this still requires a separate component that you should move around. However, it is still much smaller than a whole separate camera, and does not require its battery or storage. It also gives you all the upsides that come with phone photography, such as the huge image processing power and the ability to immediately share your photos. If Xiaomi can turn off it, this smartphone can be a big step in the development of photography, especially if it spreads on the system, adds additional lenses or even gives you just a bare sensor and a lens mount, allowing you to use traditional glass with your phone, although a latter will have a great question for a purely magnetic mount.
