In August last year, Samsung introduced the first 108MP photo sensor, which debuted on the Mi Note 10, Xiaomi's premium intermediate. Now, information points out that the two companies are working together to make official a smartphone with a 150MP camera, which would arrive in the fourth quarter.
According to the leaker "IceUniverse", known for having good leaks, Xiaomi again intends to get ahead of the competition, given that the sensor must first debut on a smartphone of the Chinese brand before even arriving in a Samsung model, the same strategy adopted in Mi Note 10.
Unfortunately, we still don't know which device will be graced with this brutal resolution, but there is a possibility that it will be part of the Mi Mix or Mi CC line. According to previously leaked reports, Samsung's 150MP sensor has already completed the entire research and development phase. It measures about 1 inch and uses the same "Nonacell" technology applied to the Galaxy S1 Ultra's 108MP ISOCELL Bright HM20 sensor.

Therefore, the next sensor of the South Korean giant is expected to combine 9 pixels in 1 for greater light absorption, being able to generate images that, technically, will be 16MP. According to information released by "IceUniverse" itself, Oppo and Vivo also intend to launch smartphones with a 150MP camera, but unlike Xiaomi, they will only arrive in the first quarter of 2021 and will be powered by the Snapdragon 875, the company's next high-performance chipset. Qualcomm.
In addition, there is also information that Samsung has started the development of a 250MP sensor, but so far there are no precise details about it. On the other hand, the company recently confirmed that it plans to launch an incredible 600MP sensor, a resolution that should surpass that of the human eye, which is around 500MP.
However, it is speculated that this component should be used in other areas of the industry, and it may take some time to arrive on smartphones. Finally, there are also rumors that the South Korean giant wants to go much further to the point of manufacturing sensors capable of recording smells and tastes.
