Hmm, I don’t think 48 MP is very suitable for smartphones. That sounds very large and unwieldy with the often limited space (not only on phones but even more so cloud backups). Who is asking for larger photos these days anyway?
The inproved DR is interesting though! Smartphones are currently very behind APS-C and full frame sensors there since it’s traditionally been more or less tied to sensor size.
- frou_dh 8y agoPresumably the phone's image processing algorithms can make productive use of extra sensor data without ultimately needing to persist a larger file to the filesystem.
