About Motorola

Motorola, Inc. is a wireless communications and electrical systems firm based in the United States. Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions were spun off in 2011. The company’s headquarters are in Schaumburg, Illinois. The Galvin Manufacturing Corporation was formed in 1928 in Chicago by brothers Paul and Joseph Galvin. Its first product was the “battery eliminator,” a gadget that connected direct-current, battery-powered radios to the alternating current common in nearly two-thirds of American houses at the time.

In the mid-1990s, the company pioneered the concept of flip phones, mobile phones, and clam phones. It was also one of the first smartphone manufacturers to use Google’s open-source Android mobile operating system. The Motorola Droid was the first phone to run the Android operating system, and it was released on November 2, 2009. As part of the agreement, Google retained primary ownership of the Motorola Mobility patent portfolio, while Lenovo obtained a license to the patent and intellectual property portfolio.

Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra

Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra: Everything You Should Know About The New One-Inch Camera Sensor.

Xiaomi has scheduled to introduce the brand-new flagship Xiaomi 12S series including Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra next week. It includes three models which come on the top and are better than the existing 12 series. This series will provide extraordinary performance and bring new and innovative features. It will be a remarkable development in smartphone photography.

Xiaomi has unveiled the presence of a new camera sensor on the Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra that is presumed to be the largest camera sensor co-developed with Sony. It is one inch in size. Sony is known to have the best camera sensors in the smartphone industry. That’s why many manufacturers use Sony sensors. This sensor is also used in other cameras by Sony such as RX100 MK7 point-and-shoot cameras. These types of cameras are often used by Youtube celebrities and content creators. It is the largest camera sensor Sony has ever created. Its size is pretty large for a smartphone. Its sensor is 1.7 times the camera sensor in Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Xiaomi will be launching this new 12S series in partnership with Leica which also includes the 12S Ultra smartphone with a Sony IMX989 sensor. Leica is a German camera manufacturer company. We don’t actually know if it is a marketing strategy or a contribution made by Xiaomi to the new hardware in the smartphone industry. It is said so because many famous companies have used this gimmick.

It will become the first-ever smartphone to implement and use such a large sensor in the Indian smartphone industry. Although, firstly it will launch on the 4th of July in China. It will take a few more months for it to launch in India and maybe with a new name. Some well-known smartphones like Sony Xperia Pro-1 and Aquos R7 had similarities in size with this new sensor. The size of the Sony model was partially large. Because of their unavailability in the Indian market, they couldn’t bring any innovation or revolutionary development to the industry.

A large sensor means it can take more light providing a remarkable and better camera performance. The new sensor known as Sony IMX989 is ideally capable of exceptional smartphone photography competing with highly sophisticated cameras like the Sony Cyber-shot series. A larger sensor consists of larger pixels which allow well-lit nighttime photography. Another advantage of having a large camera sensor is that it will have a better and wide dynamic range, Naturally. That means it will be independent of brightness and darkness and will, by no means, allow color distortion. It will be able to handle a different range of brightness and darkness. The most recognizable difference is that a larger sensor makes a bokeh effect for amateur photographers while smartphones with small sensors create a fake bokeh or blur effect. Normal small sensors don’t have enough space for foreground and background separation no matter how large their aperture is.

The new features we will be seeing in this new sensor completely depend on how Xiaomi and Leica have calibrated this Sony IMX989 sensor. Sony and Samsung have been experimenting with their sensors to make them as close as possible to full-frame or medium format cameras but right now it would be very difficult but it may be possible in the distant future.

Some specifications of the vanilla Xiaomi 12S which are revealed are its 6.28” AMOLED screen size having a 120 Hz refresh rate. It will contain two RAM and two storage options 8/12 GB and 128/256 GB. The rear camera will be 50 MP main + 13 MP ultra-wide-angle + 5 MP macro and the front-facing shooter would be 32 MP. The main notable difference from the 12 series will be its new Snapdragon 8 processor with Gen 1 chipset.

The more descriptive details of the new sensor have not been revealed by Xiaomi. It will have to wait for its launch for further information. but one thing is confirmed it will bring change and innovation to the smartphone industry.
