Xiaomi is reportedly working on a new smartphone with a brand new 108MP ISOCELL CMOS image sensor from Samsung. According to a tweet from the generally reliable tipster, Ice Universe (@Universeice), the first device to sport the new sensor will be the Mi MIX 4, which is slated to be released later this year.

The latest development comes right in the midst of an already escalating megapixel war among phone-makers and image sensor vendors, all of whom are competing with each other to offer products that can cut through the clutter in an increasingly competitive global smartphone market. Earlier today, Xiaomi detailed its plans for a new Redmi device with Samsung’s aforementioned 64MP sensor that is also expected to find its way to a new Realme phone sooner rather than later.
