An Interesting New Phone/Camera Out Of China
Dec 16, 2022 08:11:53 #
Been reading an article about a new Phone/Camera being produced in China. Very interesting concept that appears to advance the abilities of the small pocket sized camera that a lot of people have been looking for. The item is the Xiaomi Pro 13. Along with a phone it has a triple rear camera system with main, ultra-wide and telephoto abilities. The most interesting item regarding this camera they say it has a 1 (one) INCH SENSOR, something one does not normally see on a camera of this size. It is according to the article a traditional zoom camera with a 3.2X zoom range, or around 75mm. They report it also comes with one superpower that has never been seen on a zoom shooter like this, the ability to focus at extremely close distances (as close as 4 inches or 10cm). It’s also been reported by Chinese users it’s ability to take photos in very low light is exceptional.
I realize that a lot of the Hoggers here dislike even the thought of a camera phone competing with more traditional cameras but they are in my opinion doing so, more and more. But have no fear as it appears that those in the good old USA won’t have to fear this one. These Xiaomi phones are not officially for sale in your country and it appears that they may not be for some time. Amazon however does list some older Xiaomi phones so maybe in the future you may be able to import one there. One caution here is that this phone may not have the proper 5G connection bands for the USA market. Even though they won’t be available for the US market it’s reported it may become available in the EU and UK market in 2023.
Like I said it is an interesting article and appears to show just how far the camera phone technology has advanced especially by the Chinese companies.

I think, with the progress being made when it comes to Smartphone Cameras, "we ain't seen nothing yet!!!"

That sounds like the perfect device for continuous surveillance and espionage.

Should said Chinese Phone/Camera brand because the popular IPhone also being produced in China and that's nothing new.

Almost, but not nearly as good as all the DJI drones flying around. I try to be sure that China gets an update on what is going on in my retirement community at least weekly. Yesterday they got video of our new waterfall feature.

Who cares WHERE anything is produced .... Buy quality at the best price from the best source. Nationalism can be carried too far ! Don't forget, We used to bash Japan !

Xiaomi has been upping the game lately, while keeping prices low.
My phone is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro.
The camera - while not being stellar - is fairly good.
It has 4 cameras:
1) Main 108 MPx 1/5" 26mm F1.9
2) Ultra Wide angle 8 MPx
3) Macro 2 MPx
4) Depth/TOF for bockeh simulation.
And it costs $300 down here in Uruguay!
