“With the smartphone megapixel camera wars raging on, Samsung has fired a significant shot,” reports Engadget.

The story continues, saying that “Samsung has unveiled a 108-megapixel smartphone camera sensor that’s likely to appear in an [upcoming] Xiaomi Redmi smartphone. The 1/1.33-inch ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor, developed by Samsung in collaboration with Xiaomi, is one of the largest smartphone sensors ever, about three quarter the size of the 1-inch sensor on Sony’s RX100 VII. That’s just a touch smaller than the sensor Nokia used on its legendary Pureview 808 phone.”

The article adds, “Along with the high-resolution and low-light photo shooting, the sensor will allow for 6K movies at 30 fps (6,016 x 3,384), an incredible feat for a smartphone camera.”
