Yesterday, some Mi users asked on Weibo why the newly announced Xiaomi CC9e doesn’t use the SONY IMX586 CMOS. Xiaomi company product director responded to this, saying it was not originally planned to be 582. But later they changed their mind and used the SONY IMX582. The decision is conditioned by a few factors.
Though the Mi fans praised the Xiaomi executive for the frank response, they wondered which of those sensors is better and why. So we are asking too – is the IMX582 much worse than the IMX586? Before Lu Weibing provided the differences between the two camera sensors, he said: The SONY IMX582 and the Redmi K20 Pro’s SONY IMX586 come with almost the same specifications. Among them, both have 1/2″ sensors, a 48MP resolution, and support for 4-in-1 1.6μm large pixels.
However, the main difference is that the SONY IMX582 supports 30 frames of video recording at 4K resolution, while the SONY IMX586 supports 60 frames at 4K resolution. Since the video recording capability of the Snapdragon 665 is also up to 4K/30 frames, the IMX582 better suits the platform requirements.
