What’s the catch, isn’t that many pixels way below the limit of what can be resolved with an aperture/lens of phone cameras? Do the sensors actually have 200 m

What’s the catch, isn’t that many pixels way below the limit of what can be resolved with an aperture/lens of phone cameras?
Do the sensors actually have 200 million pixels or is it some post processing trick to make that claim
- behnamoh 4y agoI wonder if this has something to do with "zooming" capabilities. Samsung's Galaxies already nail it and are a head and shoulder above the competition (e.g., iPhone). When there's not much room for innovation in an area, create a new need and compete there!
- extragood 4y agoThat was my thought too. It seems like it could provide all the benefits that we get with multiple individual lenses for telephoto, wide-angle, etc in a single lens and sensor. Probably reduces cost overall.
- acjohnson55 4y agoI doubt it. For a small sensor, crops are probably going to look like crap, unless they've got some computational photography magic to make those pixels actually count.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoIt doesn’t have to look great if you are after functional results - identify faces, read some text, etc
- acjohnson55 4y agoGood point on that, as a potential motivation for more pixels.
- dmitrygr 4y agoThe marketing department has never heard of diffractions limits. Not a problem because most consumers haven't either. All they know is "bigger number better"
- nomel 4y agoMy naive assumption is that it can help with computational photography, without having to do things like sensor shift [1]. > https://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-sensor-shift-technology-high-resolution-images/ https://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-sensor-... I also assume that the improvement is nowhere near "linear".
- 369548684892826 4y agoTo give it some context a 4K UHD television has about 8 million pixels. Feels like the main purpose of having 200 million pixels is just to have a larger number than the competition.
- kyriakos 4y agoConsidering phones rely on computational photography I'd say 200mp downsized to 4k with some clever processing probably it's what Samsung is aiming for.
