The most interesting part is that Xiaomi and Sony jointly developed it. Lei Jun revealed that the development cost of Sony IMX989 was $15 million. Each of the parties paid half. This is not only a milestone for Xiaomi but also a milestone in the field of mobile imaging.
Compared with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Sony IMX989 has a 72% increase in the photosensitive area, a 76% increase in the photosensitive capacity, a 32.5% increase in the camera speed, and an 11% increase in the startup speed.

As for the Leica imaging support, the machine is expected to provide Leica Classic and Leica Live quality, Leica custom filter, Leica classic shutter sound, Leica watermark, etc.
