There’s also a Leica edition with a dual-tone design and a mechanical zoom ring. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has finally been unveiled in China as the brand’s...
So some numerical trick like the nm values of chip technology or the given size of harddiscs. Somehow expected something like that.
I looked it up, according to wikipedia a 1" sensor is 13.2 x 8.8 mm² which would be 0.63" diagonally.
Still impressive, but deception nonetheless…
It’s so old it’s not really a deception to optics/film nerds (even digital camera nerds), it’s just a type more related to sharpness/use of the sensor.
A lot of such measurements relate to the film norm being 35mm (like, the 200MP periscope lens & sensor in this phone has a 300nm focal length, the sensor being a 1/1.4" type sensor instead of the 1/1 like the main camera).
The size is usually given per pixel 1.6 µm in this case (8120 x 6180) for the main sensor.
What does this 1-inch refer to?
Cause if it is the diagonal, it would be a bigger sensor than the one in my bulky M4/3 camera.
It’s just the name of the sensor (also called type 1 sensors) 1 inch refers to the diameter in the equivalent old CRT video cameras

So what’s the real dimensions of the thing?
