Xiaomi has launched a few Redmi smartphones with a 48 MP rear camera that includes Redmi K20 and **Redmi K20 Pro (Review)** as well. Now according to the  reports by XDA Developers, Redmi was working on a smartphone that will come with 64 MP camera. If this is true, it will be the world’s first smartphone with a camera of 64 MP. According to the report, kackskrz, an XDA member spotted a reference for a 64 MP “ultra-pixel” mode in an MIUI camera app in the latest MIUI 10. The watermark images with the default text “64MP DUAL CAMERA” were also spotted. Now the brand has teased an image on Weibo, to confirm the rumors.

Currently, all we are aware of is Samsung has developed a  64 MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 image sensor. As per Samsung, this new sensor has the highest resolution in Samsung’s 0.8μm-pixel image sensor lineup and also features the “industry’s highest resolution”  lens.

There is support for real-time high dynamic range of up to 100 decibels (dB) which can give “richer hues” says Samsung.  Conventional sensors have a dynamic range of about 60 dB while the human eye is considered to be around 120 dB.
