OPPO launched the Find X3 series of smartphones yesterday, which have a 60x microscopic camera that can capture macro images. Xiaomi's Redmi product director Wang Teng said on Weibo today: “Telephoto macro is a feature that Xiaomi first launched last year. It's great to see more brands launching features like this together."
He added, “Breaking news: We're also continuing to improve this feature and use new cameras for filming. I took a macro shot. Guess what it is? "
This suggests that Redmi will upgrade its camera department and also use a microscopic camera. The company is already developing this camera, and it was used to shoot some crystals. Maybe monosodium glutamate crystals. At this time, there is no information on the device that comes with this new camera for Redmi. However, this device should be a high-end smartphone with a competitive price.
Redmi K30 Pro 2020 is equipped with a telephoto macro lens. This phone also uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, as well as a pop-up front-facing camera. This phone's macro telephoto lens uses a Samsung S5K5E9 sensor and a 50mm equivalent focal length. The closest focal length of this lens is 3cm. According to the actual measurements of users, it barely captures the location of the pixels on the mobile phone screen.
Although Redmi used this camera to achieve full-screen mode, the company complained that this solution consumed too much space internally. Since then, the pop-up camera solution is no longer very popular in Redmi. Today, the company prefers a perforated solution.
Redmi K30 has sold more than 11 million units worldwide
At the launch of the flagship Redmi K40 series, Lu Weibing, Vice President of Xiaomi Group, President of Xiaomi China and CEO of the Redmi brand, shared the success of the previous Redmi K30 series. Despite shortages and supply disruptions, sales of the Redmi K30 series have exceeded 11 million units in the international market.
The Redmi K30 line debuted sometime last year. The series currently includes the K30 Pro, K30 Extreme Commemorative Edition and K30S Extreme Commemorative Edition. According to the top manager, the Redmi team will focus on four product categories in 2021 – flagship smartphones, flagship laptops, huge TVs and smart wearables. In these four areas, the lines will be updated, keeping one of the key features of Redmi – the optimal combination of price and quality.
