Currently 4 different Xiaomi phones have 108MP primary cameras – these are the Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Mi Note x and Mi 10T Pro, all of which are mid-range or premium devices. Yet we could soon see one of the company'southward affordable phones apply this super-high-res camera sensor too.

The recent Xiaomi Mi 10T had the codename 'J3' and most Xiaomi phones have codes beginning with J, so J17 is likely a phone from the company. Most speculation points to it being the Redmi Note ten, an unannounced phone nosotros'll likely meet early in 2021.

Is this the Redmi Notation 10?

Redmi is Xiaomi's affordable brand, and in many markets it competes with Motorola'southward Moto Chiliad line. Xiaomi usually debuts tech in its Mi line before bringing it to Redmi later.

The highest-res cameras used in the Redmi Note phones have been 64MP, so 108MP would be a big jump – it would be a little surprising for an affordable phone though, and this high-res sensor could bump up the price a bit.

Information technology wouldn't be totally surprising though – the Xiaomi Mi Notation 10 was the commencement ever smartphone with such a loftier-res sensor, and information technology was startlingly cheap.

There's a reason the upcoming 108MP telephone might not be the Redmi Note 10 though, and that's considering rumors suggest the Annotation 10 will be a 'reskinned' Xiaomi Mi 10T Light (Xiaomi sometimes puts out its phones in unlike regions nether different names). However, the Mi 10T Calorie-free is in fact itself a re-skinned Poco X3 NFC (some other Xiaomi make) and neither has a 108MP main sensor.

Instead, peradventure the upcoming phone the leak hints at is the Xiaomi Mi Note 11, the anticipated but unconfirmed follow-up to the Mi Annotation x, and nosotros'd look this to have a high-res sensor like its predecessor.

Whatever phone has this loftier-res sensor, we'll hopefully find out soon, equally Xiaomi puts out new smartphones at breakneck speed. When the handset is announced nosotros'll let you know, and nosotros'll exist reviewing the device, to see if 108MP sensors (if the telephone does indeed accept one) vest on inexpensive phones.
