Xiaomi recently unveiled the world’s first phone with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 888 chip, the Mi 11. The device comes with all the premium specs you’d expect from a next-generation flagship, including a 6.81-inch QHD + AMOLED display with a 120Hz update. speed, up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256GB fast UFS 3.1 storage, 55W fast wired charging support, 50W fast wireless charging support, and a great suite of cameras.
On top of that, the device offers some really unique features, like an in-screen fingerprint scanner that doubles as a heart rate monitor, simultaneous audio sharing with two Bluetooth devices, and a BlinkAI-powered night video mode. While we have yet to get our hands on the Xiaomi Mi 11 and see all its cool features in person, BlinkAI has now released a couple of demo videos showing the Mi 11’s new night video mode in action.
Xiaomi first teased the new night video mode in Weibo a few days before the launch of Mi 11 with a sample video clip that briefly showcased its capabilities. The latest clips from BlinkAI give us a better look at the results achieved by night video mode, showing significantly brighter and more vibrant images with the mode on.
If you are curious about how the Mi 11 managed to achieve such results, here is a short explanation:
The night video mode on the Mi 11 uses BlinkAI’s deep learning software “in conjunction with Qualcomm’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU) on the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform to apply machine learning algorithms to low-quality video frames and very noisy taken during low light scenarios, to enhance video in milliseconds. The company’s proprietary AI image enhancement software platform is based on a neural network framework that mimics critical aspects of how the human visual system works. It is based on ground-breaking deep learning imaging research and aims to help camera hardware capture images in challenging environments the way we do as humans. “
