With a large inch sensor, it would not be possible to use the latest variable aperture lens After the premiere of Xiaomi 14 Pro, many people had a question: why the company’s new flagship did not receive the inch Sony IMX989 image sensor, which the Xiaomi 13 Pro has? After all, it is known that the larger the sensor, the more light it captures and the better the pictures are, especially in low-light conditions. However, as it turns out, Xiaomi had a good reason. [caption id="attachment_77889" align="alignnone" width="780"] Xiaomi 14 Pro[/caption] Not a downgrade, but an upgrade. The fact is that with an inch sensor, it would not be possible to use the latest lens with a variable aperture F/1.42-4.0 and its stepless change (Xiaomi talks about 1024 levels, but for a mobile device with so many of them we can talk about almost complete smoothness of change in hole diameter). Therefore, the Light Hunter 900 1/1.31-inch optical format sensor was developed specifically for the smartphone line, which, in conjunction with a new high-aperture lens, ensures light capture at the level of an inch sensor. But at the same time, a very high dynamic range is provided (13.5 exposure stops), and the user, thanks to the new lens, has the opportunity to adjust blur and exposure. In general, Xiaomi regards replacing an inch sensor with a smaller Light Hunter 900 as an upgrade, not a downgrade.

Another obvious advantage of HyperOS over MIUI The new flagships Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro feature UltraSpace technology, which provides users with more space to store files (such as photos and videos). So, in devices with 256 GB of flash memory, 264 GB are available, and in the version with 512 GB, 528 GB are available. [caption id="attachment_77829" align="alignnone" width="780"] Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro[/caption] The unique UltraSpace feature in Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro gives users more space to store files How is this implemented? Each flash memory chip has an area reserved for Over-Provisioning features to improve memory speed and reliability. Over-provisioning performs Garbage Collection, Wear Leveling, and Bad Block Re-Mapping. For Over-Provisioning, 10 GB is reserved in the memory chip, so the actual volume of such a chip, with the declared 256 GB, is 266 GB. Xiaomi engineers have found a way to use the space allocated for Over-Provisioning without compromising the reliability or speed of the drive. It is important to note that UltraSpace is only available in smartphones with HyperOS, but, as you know, many of the current devices with MIUI will receive HyperOS next year. Then, in theory, UltraSpace will become available in these models as well.
