Back in 2012, high-resolution camera sensors were all the rage. And that trend has come back in 2019. It was Samsung who started it by launching the 48MP ISOCELL GM1 sensor at the end of 2019 and it was followed by Sony with 48MP IMX586 sensor. That's not all. Samsung introduced a 64MP ISOCELL GW1 shooter earlier this year in May, and very soon, Sony will be launching the high-resolution 60MP IMX686 sensor. The first smartphone to feature the Sony IMX686 is said to be Xiaomi Redmi K30 which will make its debut on December 10. Right now, in India, there are four phones with 64MP primary rear camera and the prices of these phones start at Rs 14,990 only. Read onto know more about the 64MP Mobile Phones available in India right now.
