Mobilemaster, 09 Jan 2021Samsung sensors are almost as good as Sony sensors, come on... moreSamsung sensor is great, but sometimes useless. They just wasting their time and money on this 108, 200 or 250MP camera sensor that won't give any major improvement. Take a look at iPhone and Pixel phones. They are still using 12MP sensors but still able to capture high quality images. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Samsung should focus on improving their 50MP, 48MP and 64MP sensors. 108MP, 600MP is unnecessary.

When it uses the full area of 200 MPix, it can combine data of several pixels into one and simulate better dynamic range or larger pixels. The result of both photos would be say 12 MPix, but the image quality of the zoom would be far behind the full-area image.

Also isocell means a tech to prevent light from leaking to neighbor pixel.
Actually no sensor has this issue today.

Ah yes, we definitely need more megapixels on the same tiny sensor size

In fact the further you want to capture the image, the worse will be the result cropping. And add also the digital processing to the obtain the final image. If cropping is as good... Why don't remove the optical telephoto lens from the Ultra model?
Advertising the S21 and S21+ as 3x hybrid soon knowing that the real optical zoom is 1.1x seems more like a scam then anything else, and more asking the prices they ask. Why not 5x hybrid if they are that good without optical telephoto lens? Because it would be too obvious the lose of quality and that is almost all digital.

can someone explain me this article i don't quite understand it, like what's an ISOCELL sensor? does 200MP mean we don't need tele cameras in our phones anymore?

So Samsung are chasing no again, it's really a pointless exercise.
More mp does not automatically make for better photos and adds to processing overhead to boot.

While I love this accomplishment I think Samsung would greatly profit from developing more dedicated camera software. They are the kings of hardware, but just a slight increase in AI stacking and color accuracy could make them even better.
Adding to that I think there is a LOT of optimization to be done. We have so much raw horsepower on the phones, there needs to be more clever ways to make use of it than increaing the scale.

2) Sony is not stupid to make a 200MP sensor for mobile. Not even for medium format cameras they would make.
3) Samsung is always copying sony sensor tech.

Seems like serious competition for sony sensors, which is great for customers.

Anonymous, 09 Jan 2021These sensors are probably not for phones as phones can... moreOf course they can. Pinch to zoom exists for a decade, but apparently there are still users that don't know this feature.

But still, I would ask you. How well the Samsung's 108 MP sensor received against the Popular 12-48-64 MP Sensors from other brands? .. Ask yourself that question!
