In addition, Xiaomi also has a periscope lens patent. According to the patent abstract, the light entrance of the Xiaomi periscope auxiliary lens aligns with the light exit of the main lens. Therefore, the periscope auxiliary lens can achieve different zoom magnifications without an increase in the thickness of the main lens. In summary, the Xiaomi image communication conference may announce more details of the 64MP and periscope lens.
Furthermore, Lu Weibing, general manager of the Redmi brand recently confirmed the existence of the Redmi Note 8. According to him, the Redmi Note 8 is much stronger.
