BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Redmi is testing a new high-end cell phone with a 50 MP periscopic camera and approximately 3x optical zoom. The device’s name has not yet been revealed, but it should be part of the Xiaomi line and hit the market in the first half of 2027. Another highlight is the possible use of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, a processor manufactured in 2 nanometers.
The information was released by well-known Chinese informant Digital Chat Station, who revealed details about the tests of the photographic set.
According to the leak, the sensor will be 1/1.95 inches in size, a feature that can help capture images with more details.
Xiaomi has not yet officially confirmed the existence of the smartphone or its specifications. For now, the data indicates that the manufacturer is preparing a new generation of premium Redmi devices, with special attention to cameras and performance.
The main detail revealed so far is the camera with a 50 MP periscopic lens. This type of structure allows you to bring distant objects closer together without relying exclusively on digital resources, which can compromise image quality.
The component under development should offer approximately 3x optical zoom, with small variations in this capacity. The idea is to improve photographs taken with intermediate zoom, allowing you to record distant objects and scenes with better quality.
The 1/1.95 inch sensor also draws attention. In general, larger sensors can capture more light, which can help when taking photos in poorly lit environments.
There is still no information about the device’s other cameras, nor about video recording features or possible improvements in photograph processing.
