The flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is expected to debut early next year, may receive a camera with a 200-megapixel sensor, the publication reports. ETNews. In this, the Korean manufacturer will follow in the footsteps of Motorola, which has already equipped the model with such a sensor. X30 Pro. And even Apple, which prefers 12-megapixel cameras, seems to soon change itself and install a 48-megapixel sensor in the iPhone 14.
It’s not about big numbers: increasing the resolution of the sensor does improve image quality. The task is not to increase the resolution of finished images – we are talking about combining pixels into 2 × 2 or 4 × 4 blocks. Pixel size on the sensor announced last year Samsung ISOCELL HP1 is 0.64 microns, and on the 12-megapixel Apple sensor found in the latest generation iPhone, it is 1.9 microns.
If you combine the pixels on the Samsung sensor into a 4×4 block, you get 2.56 microns. Other things being equal, larger pixels collect more light, and image quality in low light increases. A smartphone equipped with a 200-megapixel sensor by default produces pictures at a resolution of 12 megapixels.
At the initial stage, Samsung and Apple will equip only top models with high-resolution sensors: S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro, respectively, the resource claims. The Verge. Others will remain with traditional cameras for now.
