Here's an Android phone that won’t go unnoticed, with its impressive and showy rear camera block. Xiaomi just introduced its Mi 12S Ultra, a phone equipped with a 6.78-inch OLED screen and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. On the back, a very large lens protects the three cameras: a 48 megapixel ultrawide, a 48 megapixel telephoto with 5x optical zoom and finally, the 50 megapixel main camera using Sony’s 1-inch sensor, which is unusual. The photo block was developed in collaboration with Leica. The 12S Ultra will first come out in China. A model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will go for RMB 6,000 (around CAD 1,160), while the high-end version with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage will go for RMB 7,000 (around CAD 1,355).

⇨ The Verge, Jacob Kastrenakes, “Xiaomi put a huge camera sensor in its new Mi 12S Ultra flagship smartphone.”
