The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is equipped with a ``main camera with a focal length of 23 mm equipped with a 1 inch sensor'', a ``telephoto camera with a focal length of 75 mm'', a ``super telephoto camera with a focal length of 120 mm'', and a ``wide-angle camera with a focal length of 12 mm''. In addition, Leica is participating in the development of Xiaomi 13 Ultra, and the name 'LEICA VARIO-SUMMICRON 1: 1.8-3.0/12-120 ASPH.' is given to the four cameras collectively.
Sensor size greatly affects the image quality of a camera, but most smartphones have smaller sensors than digital cameras. However, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is equipped with a 1-inch sensor that is the size used in high-end compact digital cameras, etc., and it is appealing that it can take very high-quality pictures.
Smartphones with small sensors rely heavily on software post-processing to compensate for image quality. For this reason, photos taken with smartphones tend to cause problems such as ``the blur in the background is not correctly rendered'', ``the color of the sky is unnaturally blue'', and ``the hair is drawn solidly''. Samsung's smartphone 'Galaxy S23 Ultra' released in 2023 also used the function to correct photos beautifully, and as a result, the problem that 'teeth are drawn in the baby's mouth without permission' has become a hot topic. increase.
With the Xiaomi 13 Ultra equipped with a 1-inch sensor, it is expected that the above problems will not occur because the subject can be recorded in high definition without relying on software processing.
