The Xiaomi Mi Ultra, the most basic edition of the series, boasts a Samsung-designed photo sensor, the ISOCELL GN2. Several days before the announcement, the Chinese brand has officially announced the presence of this huge photo module of 50 megapixels. This is the first smartphone on the market to be equipped with this lens.
Xiaomi has just published a poster confirming the integration of the ISOCELL GN2 sensor into the Mi 11 Ultra on Chinese social networks. This module, announced a few weeks ago by Samsung, is distinguished by its gigantism.
Successor of ISOCELL GN1 announced in 2020, ISOCELL GN2 is simply huge. It measures 1/1.12 inches,compared to 1/1.31 inches for the previous generation (only for phones designed by Vivo). The module takes advantage ofhuge individual pixels measuring 1.4 micron. This is almost twice as large as the pixels on some high-end photo sensors. One example is Samsung’s 108-megapixel photo sensor.

Unsurprisingly, the ISOCELL GN2 should allow the Mi 11 Ultra to make quality photos even in low light. The huge built-in pixels are capable of capturing a large amount of light.
Note that the lens includes several technologies developed by Samsung, such as the Dual Pixel Pro autofocus, “an innovative autofocus solution” says the manufacturer, and pixel-binning (which allows you to combine 4 pixels to design a photo). ISOCELL GN2 is compatible with recording videos in 8K/24 frames per second,4K/ 120 frames per second and Full HD/ 480 frames per second.
As a reminder, Xiaomi will unveil the Mi 11 Ultra at a conference scheduled for Monday, March 29, 2021. At this event geared towards the Chinese market, the manufacturer will also announce an Mi 11 Pro, another premium variant. Xiaomi may also announce the Mi 11 Lite, another more affordable smartphone. We’ll tell you more as soon as possible.
