A new leak has created big buzz in the smartphone world. Sources have claimed that the Redmi Note 16 Pro+ may come with a 200MP main camera, making it one of the latest additions to the Redmi 200MP phone category. This puts Redmi in direct competition with Realme, which is also preparing its next-generation camera-focused phones.
The mid-range market is now getting very exciting, as brands bring flagship-level photography features at lower prices.
Redmi 200MP Phone Leak: What We Know So Far
According to the leak, both Redmi and Realme are testing new mid-range smartphones with a 200MP camera.
The hashtag used — #RedmiNote16 — suggests that the Redmi Note 16 Pro+ and Redmi Note 16 Pro are the models likely to feature this powerful sensor.
The standard Redmi Note 16 is unlikely to get the 200MP camera.
Realme is also joining the race. The Realme 16 Pro is rumored to carry a 200MP + 8MP dual-camera system. The Realme 16 Pro+ may offer the same setup but with an additional periscope telephoto lens for stronger zoom performance.
