Xiaomi recently launched Redmi Note 7 in china and its build quality looked solid in its official tear-down video. To prove its point Xiaomi has pushed its edge with a unique way to demonstrate the toughness of phone. They smashed a walnut with the phone and video was posted by Lin Bin, co-founder and President of Xiaomi.
The phone broke the walnut without damaging itself, but that’s not it. The video was also shot in 960fps with a Mi 8 so you can see the carnage in slow motion. Just like premium devices The Redmi Note 7 will also get the Night mode, according to sources this can be a hint of upcoming 960fps mode? Currently, the phone supports video recording at 1080p @ 120fps and 720p @ 120fps. The Snapdragon 660 chipset only supports video recording up to 720p @ 480fps. Mi 8 Lite does a recording at 720p @ 240fps with same chipset, so there is scope of improvement.
Practically the Snapdragon 845 is also not capable of recording at 960fps. The company uses technique called interpolation for which they use much faster ISP to achieve it. But this does not help to achieve true 960fps, the only devices with DRAM stacked on their image sensor (such as Galaxy S9) can pull off true 960fps for a short time.
