2x in the iPhone 15 uses pixel binning and should result in the same quality as optical 2x, just at 12MP instead of 24, same as the previous generation. Isn’t that usable?
- eterevsky 3y agoWith the same optics the 2x picture the effective size of the sensor is 2x smaller and it receives 4x less light. This has to result in the lower-quality picture. Also, the resolution of the photo is mostly limited not by the number of megapixels, but by optical resolution of the lens.
- The_Colonel 3y agoThe zoom lenses which need to fit into the phone package have also significantly smaller light gathering capability, so you won't be able to improve a lot over the main camera.
