Xiaomi 18 Pro Leaks Point to 200MP Camera Upgrade With 105dB HDR

3 articles · Updated · Nokiapoweruser · Jul 18

Summary

  • Leaked specs for Xiaomi’s 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max point to a 200MP Light Fusion 9xxL main camera using LOFIC HDR 3.0, with up to 105dB dynamic range.
  • The reported setup pairs a custom SmartSens SCC90XS sensor with a 1/1.28-inch format, aiming to improve highlight retention, shadow detail and low-light performance rather than just raise megapixel counts.
  • LOFIC HDR 3.0 is designed to divert excess light into a separate capacitor, helping prevent clipped highlights while processing large 200MP image data in real time.
  • Other rumored flagship specs include Qualcomm’s 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, a 6.9-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED panel on the Pro Max, 7,000mAh to 8,500mAh+ batteries and 100W charging.
  • Leaks also suggest a second 200MP periscope telephoto camera with macro support, signaling a broader camera overhaul ahead of Xiaomi’s next premium-phone launch.
