Mi CC9 Pro got a record DxOMark score, the happiest person is Samsung

Although only a mid-range smartphone (priced at 2799 Yuan – about 9.3 million), but Mi CC9 Pro can completely promise to change the face of “Chinese smartphone civil war” in the near future: the first time in Historically, Huawei’s leadership has been shattered when the Mate 30 Pro is only on par with the half-priced Mi. The Mi CC9 Pro could be the nudge Xiaomi needed to reclaim what was lost to Huawei in the last quarter, when Huawei grew rapidly and Xiaomi fell heavily. But no matter who Huawei and Xiaomi fight who wins, the happiest person must be Samsung. Why? You may be a little surprised to learn that the sensor used on the Xiaomi model is not Sony as always but Samsung: Mi CC9 Pro has a sensor “ISOCELL Bright HMX” size 1 / 1.33 “, size point. 0.8um image As “the industry’s first 108MP mobile sensor,” ISOCELL Bright HMX is expected to improve Samsung’s position in the sensor war, where Sony still dominates with a market share of nearly half. All three iPhone 11 models this year have Sony sensors, like the Pixel 4, Mi 9 or Mate 30 Pro, all use sensors made by Sony. Yes, but this statement will be more true for Google or Apple and not quite true for Xiaomi.The Chinese smartphone company has a very poor image processing algorithm. to the extent that the 48MP (interpolated) image is even worse than the “normal” 12MP one, so we can be sure that the decisive factor for image quality on Mi CC9 Pro It could only be the ISOCELL sensor made by Samsung.

It is important to remember that components are the field that brings huge profits to Samsung, and since the beginning of the year, the decline in silicon has caused the Korean giant to continuously see net profits “evaporate”. “more than half (compared to the same period in 2018). The position established by Mi CC9 Pro is like an invitation to other smartphone manufacturers to also switch to Samsung CMOS instead. Of course, we can’t forget the Samsung smartphones either. According to leaks, next year’s Galaxy S11 will use the second-generation ISOCELL Bright HMX, with improvements compared to the first (sold to Xiaomi). That is, we have grounds to believe that the Galaxy S11 will even undermine the position of the Mi CC9 Pro and the Mate 30 Pro. That will be good news for Samsung, after the Galaxy S10 has had “not fast sales” in the past year. Even in the case of Samsung using the same sensor, Samfan still has reason to eagerly wait for the S11. Because unlike Xiaomi, Samsung is a real software force. Samsung has experience using AI to improve the quality of photos, the Galaxy S10 and Note10 also have a feature that no rivals can copy, which is to guide users to coordinate frames properly (based on aggregated data. from the row.
