A new rumor from China today claims the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will have a 200MP main camera using a 1/1.28″ type “new generation” LOFIC sensor. The phone also allegedly has a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and f/2.4 aperture. This camera uses a 1/1.56″ type sensor. The telephoto camera will support macro shooting from approximately 15cm.
This is a wildly different setup compared to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max‘s 50MP main camera and 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. The telemacro focusing will be closer in the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max too, 15cm vs. 30cm.
