Xiaomi recently launched its Redmi Note 7 phone in China. The highlight of the phone is its 48MP camera sensor on the back. They claimed to have a 48MP Samsung GM1 sensor at the back along with a secondary 5MP camera for portrait shots. If we talk about hardware, Redmi Note 7 packs a Snapdragon 660 chipset under the hood. When we look into Snapdragon 660 features, the chipset supports only up to the 25MP single camera. So, how does Redmi Note 7 sport a 48MP camera? Is it fake? Let us know the truth behind the 48MP sensor and how it works. The 48mp brouhaha ain't actually fake but a bit exaggerated by the company which is something most cheap ass OEMs engage in (hype a singular feature and ignore the rest). In common terms the word "interpolated" might be used here but that's not the entire truth of the matter. Pixel Binning The pixel binning is basically an ISP level implementation process where 4 pixels combine information into 1 pixel. In Samsung GM1 sensor, pixel binning takes pixels in a 2×2 grid and combines them into one. Samsung-GM1-48MP-sensor So, the information captured by 4 individual pixels is now combined into one large pixel that is also called Super Pixel. This data collected by 4 adjacent pixels combine into one “super pixel” and this is called pixel binning. However, the resulting image of this 4-in-1 pixel binning has an effective resolution 4x of the resolution of the sensor. Basically the 48 mp is just a 12mp in reality but has been configured by Samsung to allow for more light and better resolution, Thus by combining raw data from four pixels into one, the output image is of a higher resolution as it captured a larger amount of light and also reduced the noise. Xiaomi used this sensor and claims to offer 48MP images that are actually captured from a 12MP sensor. However, the resulting image is brighter and has less noise after using the pixel binning because of the combination of four pixel’s data into one. My issue here is this whole thing is more of a marketing gimmick since the Snapdragon 660 don't actually support 48 megapixel camera, Xiaomi keeps acting like the whole thing is a vital part of the phone. I know some people said Xiaomi might not have been aware about the whole 48mp ish, but that's a big fallacy since they purchased the chip and must have know about it's architecture and "limits".

Look at this obsolete OP, it's people like you that campaigns for TECNO and infinix.

LOL!!! I was thinking the guy has the phone and he has taken some picture with d phone in different scenerio for review not knowing say no theoretical jargons is what the OP is doing.

answer these 1st, who named the sensor 48mp, xiaomi or samsung? Sd660 supports 25mp max. Does not supporting it means that it can't work? Watch videos of those that have tested the cam first before saying what you don't understand

Samsung made it known it was a 12mp but have managed to "upgrade" it to perform like a 48mp. You can't tell me Xiaomi was unaware the camera was a 48 mp interpolated camera. SD660 supports 25mp max, yes but can still "support" a 48 mp camera but the results will still be like that of a 25mp since the processor has a maximum number of megapixels for picture output.

how many pixels does the isocell gm 1 have? 48million. That makes it a 48mp sensor. Each pixel there is 0.8micron. Samsung never called the gm1 a 12mp camera, they marketed it as a 48mp which it truly is since it has 48million different pixels. The binning you talked about is meant for low light, since the pixels are smaller, 4 pixels will bine as one pixel {1.6micron} to produce a brighter shot. Watch this video and see how the 48mp works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYw-bh36OGo

what is this one even saying
always research before you speak it will make u look like a fool at the end

Which is better phone between tecno phantom 8 vs xiaomi redmi note 6 pro? Please help
Which is better phone between tecno phantom 8 vs xiaomi redmi note 6 pro? Please help
Phantom costs over a 100k, if am not mistaken while the Redmii Note 6 PRO retails for about 66-70k. Better go for the Note 6 pro and experience the best Xiaomi offers
Rubiesangel: Tecno phantom 8 is better. Its got superior spec and functionality.
List the specs side by side with the specs of redmi note 7 pro let's see. Taking into account the camera quality, battery life, functionality, durability, software support, multi tasking etc and not forgetting price and let's compare and contrast to see which one of them offers great value for money.
You know what? Until you have used Xiaomi phone maybe RN7 or RN7 pro, then you have right to talk about it. I am not talking about a day use or borrowed use oooooo or copying information online. When you have truly used a Xiaomi phone and you still beleive Techno is the better, then we leave you to your fate....no offense please

Tecno man abi na infinix, your plan to water down xiaomi has failed, i just checked reviews on gsmarena.com, andriodcentral.com and phonearena.com, most especially their youtube video reviews and did not see this your observations. Just go back to square one with your tecno d9 or d7 or s7 abi na infinix zero 1
