If you thought the camera in theSamsung Galaxy S22 Ultra(pictured) was pretty good, wait until you see what the next generation ofSamsung’sbest Android phonewill be packing. The sensor coming to the Ultra in 2023 could make it one of the verybest phonesfor photography, making Samsung’s flagship even more spectacular.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra wouldn’t be the first 200MPAndroidphone – that’s the Motorola X30 Pro, which just launched in China – but it’ll be much more widely available.
Why more megapixels still matter
I’ve got aniPhone 13Pro with a 12MP sensor, and the shots it can take are amazing. So what can 200MP offer beyond more megapixels? The answer is simple: it can bin more pixels.
Depending on the implementation, a phone might give you a choice – so it might show you the pixel-binned version first, but enable you to switch to the full resolution original if you plan to do your own adjustments in software later. And it would only use pixel binning in lighting scenarios where it would deliver an improved image.
If you’re a fan of smartphone photography this is a really exciting development: even thebest phonesstruggle sometimes with overly bright or dark scenes, so better results at still-massive resolutions will be a big upgrade. And more than ever before the cameraphone fight will be more about the software than the hardware: it’s not how many pixels your sensor can see, but how efficiently the image processor uses them to produce the final image.
