Camera<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mi 5s takes the large-pixel approach by using Sony’s 1\/2.3-inch IMX378 CMOS, which offers a lower 12-megapixel still resolution but better sensitivity using large 1.55um pixel sites. The camera also comes with an f\/2.0 aperture, a dual-tone LED flash, phase detection auto-focus, auto HDR and video recording of up to 4K resolution at 30 fps.\u00a0You can also get a 4-megapixel selfie camera with f\/2.0 aperture, 80-degree wide-angle capture and real-time video beautification at up to 1080p.<\/p>\n

\"xiaomi-mi5-11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mi 5s Plus packs dual 13 megapixel cameras on the back that work similarly to those on the Huawei P9. One camera captures color images and the other captures only black and white images. The black and white sensor lacks the Bayer filter, which means it gathers much more light producing more detailed images with less noise. You can either capture pure black and white images or color images. When capturing color images, the camera combines the output of both the sensors to enhance the final photo.<\/p>\n
