Xiaomi's smartphone with a 48MP camera.

Xiaomi’s budget phone, which starts at ~$150, has already sold over a million units in China, according to the brand. The phone went on sale in its home market on January 15, which means it hit the mark in just under a month.

Xiaomi is also working on the Redmi Note 7 Pro, which will ship with a Sony-made 48MP sensor (as opposed to the standard model’s Samsung sensor). The Pro model traditionally receives a power bump as well, so we can likely expect a more capable processor.
