Xiaomi phone with a 48 MP rear camera, which has been confirmed by Xiaomi president Lin Bin, is reportedly a Redmi smartphone. The device will go official in January 2019. The Redmi device apparently also features an in screen camera hole display design, similar to the Infinity O display, the one which is expected to be on the Galaxy A8s.
The display on the new 48 MP packed Redmi device is expected to be an LCD unit made by BOE, China. Right now Nokia holds the current record of highest MP camera with its 41MP Lumia 1020, while the Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro both feature 40MP main cameras.
Reports suggests that the Redmi device will have a triple camera setup with a 48 MP + 13 MP + 16 MP camera configuration. The device might be launched in different storage variants offering 6 GB, 8 GB RAM and 10 GB of RAM. A 3,700 mAh battery will power the device along with support for Quick Charge 5.0 and wireless charging.
There is a possibility the 48MP sensor could be either the Sony IMX586 or Samsung ISOCELL Bright GM1. This will be confirmed near the phones official launch among with other specs.
