Xiaomi 15 Series

[RyanJ]

Check out our video

Looks like their official youtube channel labels it as " Global Debut "



- 100MP M43 sensor . Makes me wonder if it were true 100MP or just binned/quad binned to 25/12.5MP ?

- 16 stops dynamic range UltraRaw ! -> My bet is likely not pure Raw but "stacked up" Raw but still amazing and very useful to work on.

- 35mm on M43 sensor works out to be 70mm focal length thereabouts.

- The laser/optical communication and huge bandwidth is good for near instantaneous control of the module. The early problems of Sony QX adapters was >10 yr ago it was plagued with lousy wifi connection cum bad software implementation, which spilled into mirrorless lineup for quite a few years until recently.

Hopefully it can be an industrial standard and spur on a new niche market with other manufacturers, though the uptake might be suspect, since most smartphone users probably not desire additional accessories.

Exciting times.

Now the price.

For people who preordered. Checked with customer service. The shipment would start from 8 Mar and took 1-3 working days ro deliver. They said this is how pre-order works and there is no self pickup.

Clearly they haven’t heard of what is called early fulfillment.

 

[Exaita]

DXOMark is a for-profit consultancy company, in the business of ranking phones amongst other stuffs. They apparently sell a really expensive in house analyser for manufacturers to "game" the system and come up better ranked. If not paying , chances are wun do that great.

But they are still an interesting read, I dun really care much about how they rank.

It's running android why it can't?

I think HyperOS doesn't play well with 3rd party launchers.
