Launched yesterday, the Xiaomi Mi Note 3 boasts the same dual camera setup from the Mi 6. On the other hand, the Mi Mix 2 only has one of the features of the dual setup of the Mi 6. Yet, both offer quality vibrant images which you could see for yourself below.
That said, Xiaomi’s Mi Note 3 sports a 12MP wide-angle lens and a 12MP telephoto lens on its back. Both are equipped with optical zoom, 4-axis Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), optimized low-light photography, and of course, the bokeh effect seen in the pictures below.
Note that the images are resized down to 2MP.
Moving on to the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, the smartphone only sports a single lens rear camera. However, it still offers decent images since it has an IMX386 sensor (same as the Mi 6), 4-axis OIS, f/2.0 aperture, 5P lens, PDAF, and HDR.
