How will Xiaomi Mi 10 series handle file sizes?
With the increase of the camera pixels of mobile phones, the photo files are getting larger. If OEMs don’t optimize the hardware, the general camera experience greatly reduces. It’s quite scary to have a single image weigh over 20MB. If the files are massive, it will most certainly restrict usability in some scenarios. Well, Lei Jun (Xiaomi’s CEO) has something to say in this regards
According to Lei Jun, with the support of Snapdragon 865 and the new ISP, it has achieved four times the computing performance. In addition, LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.0 flash memory are also fast. This means that the useability will be fast. Lei Jun also said that the HEIF format reduces the file size by at least 50% while maintaining image quality.
He demonstrated Xiaomi Mi 10’s performance in a video. It can be seen from the video that in good lighting conditions, the Mi 10 takes photos quickly and the photos open in a short time. In addition, Lei Jun also confirmed in the comments of his Weibo post that the Xiaomi Mi 10 will support 10x hybrid optical zoom and 50x digital zoom. The Xiaomi Mi 10 launch conference will take place online at 14:00 on February 13th.
