About this guide
The 200 MP sensor shoots full resolution only in Ultra HD mode; Photo mode saves 12.5 MP pictures. There is no 200 MP switch in Photo mode.
The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode, taken on 18 October 2026. The camera viewfinder is dark in Light mode. We took one photo in each mode and deleted both.
