Xiaomi 14 Ultra to feature 1-inch sensor again, 15 Ultra to bring even a bigger one.

It’s too early to talk about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, but Digital Chat Station on Weibo has already started to provide the initial details. According to the famous tech blogger, Xiaomi 14 Ultra will also come with a 1-inch sensor.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra to feature 1-inch sensor, 15 Ultra might come with a 1.33-inch sensor instead

We can say that one of the biggest camera breakthroughs in the smartphone world is using a huge 1-inch sensor. Various smartphone manufacturers, including Sony, Xiaomi, vivo, and OPPO, have introduced camera phones equipped with the large image sensor. Xiaomi, in particular, incorporated the 1-inch Sony IMX 989 sensor in both the 12S Ultra and 13 Ultra models.

The upcoming Xiaomi 14 Ultra will uphold this trend by featuring the 1-inch sensor, while Xiaomi 15 Ultra will introduce an even larger sensor measuring 4:3-inches diagonally, which is approximately 1.33-inches in size. These sensors are expected to become increasingly prevalent in future smartphone models.

As smartphone cameras improve, they also tend to become thicker, larger, and heavier. For instance, Xiaomi 13 Ultra which has a leather back cover, weighs 227 grams. While everyone desires superior camera capabilities, it appears that the smartphone industry is not yet prepared for the utilization of 1.33-inch sensors.
