Xiaomi recently launched the Mi 12S Ultra with a huge camera sensor. Lei Jun, the former CEO of Kingsoft, founded Xiaomi in April 2010. It was intended to give users a user-friendly interface and add features that Android lacked.
The Xiaomi 12S series includes the highly awaited Xiaomi 12S Ultra smartphone. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is where Xiaomi has focused its efforts.
The 12S and 12S Pro provide only a slight improvement over their predecessors.
What are the Specs of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra Camera Sensor?
The Mi 12S Ultra, Xiaomi’s new flagship, is big in every way. It has a 6.73-inch OLED screen and the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 system on a chip. A bulge on the back of a camera lens takes up about a third of the phone’s rear cameras.
The phone has three cameras inside that artificial lens: a 48-megapixel ultrawide, a 48-megapixel telephoto with 5x optical zoom (and an unappealing “120x” digital zoom), and finally, a 50-megapixel camera that uses the 1-inch sensor.

Other Features of Xiaomi 12 Ultra Apart from its Large Camera Sensor?
The Mi 12S Ultra, aside from the camera, possesses all the standard features of a flagship phone.
It has a large 4,860 mAh battery and 67W wired fast charging. It has IP68 water and dust resistance and a 120Hz refresh rate display. The phone should be the first Android device with Dolby Vision HDR support.
What is the Cost of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra?
A high-end model with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage will cost about USD 1,050 (UGX 3.94) before tax. A model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will cost about USD 900 (UGX 3.4m) before tax.
Xiaomi is also launching two less expensive models: the 12S and 12S Pro. The camera sensor on those two phones is a 1/1.28-inch size.
The 12S has a 6.28-inch 120Hz display, while the 12S Pro has an OLED display similar to the Ultra at 6.73 inches and 120Hz.
Xiaomi tells Engadget that the 1-inch image sensor was jointly developed with Sony and Leica. The phone’s camera system was “co-engineered with Leica.”
Even though Xiaomi’s phone would use the entire 1-inch sensor, Sony released a phone using it in the latter part of last year.
Conclusion
One-inch sensors have been used in phones before by a few different companies, but they haven’t been very common.
In the Xiaomi 12S ultra, we are more likely to find 1-inch sensors in higher-end point-and-shoot cameras like Sony’s RX100 series. The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is the best photography-centric yet.
