Xiaomi 12S Ultra Overview
Camera
The most highlighted and interesting part of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra is its camera system as it is now co-developed with Leica. On the back side, it packs a triple camera setup. The main camera is a 50.3MP (OIS) lens from Sony with a 1-inch sensor which is the largest image sensor in any smartphone in the world right now. It has 3.2µm individual pixels and uses 4-in-in binning technology to produce 12.5MP images by default.
Xiaomi has offered two photographic styles: Lecia Authentica Look and Leica Vibrant look. The former produces a natural image while the vibrant look uses the company’s own computational photography smarts along with Leica’s aesthetics. Moreover, there are four different Leica filters: Leica Natural, Leica Vivid, Leica BW High Contrast, and Leica BW Natural.
Likewise, Xiaomi 12S Ultra has a 48MP Sony IMX586 ultrawide camera with a 1/2.0-inch camera sensor and it also works as a macro camera. The last camera is a 48MP (OIS) periscope telephoto lens that is capable of 5x optical zoom. Both lenses produce 12MP images using 4-in-1 binning technology.
Talking about videography, you can capture up to 8k videos at 24fps while you can shoot 1080p videos up to 360fps and 720p videos up to 3840fps. Likewise, it can also record Dolby Vision HDR videos at 4k and 1080p resolution.
