There's too much AI and machine learning going on behind the scene, which always ruins the details and colours.

          Samsung S21 Ultra image can match the the MI 11 Ultra only after night mode. They certainly don't put do the MI 11 Ultra.
          Besides, The night mode on S21 Ultra is also longer in duration compared to Mi 11 Ultra and OnePlus 9 Pro which is a bit of a disadvantage.

            They dont need to go to such huge resolution numbers in order to create a good camera sensor. Just go look at professional cameras: they rarely go over 40MP

                  Anonymous, 02 Sep 2021I really don't know whats so special about GN1. It... moreGN1 has the same physical sensor size as HM1 and HM3 (1/1.33") but it has a bigger native unbinned pixel size (1.2µm vs 0.8µm) and only relies on 4-to-1 pixel binning instead of 9-to-1 pixel binning as in the HM1 and HM3. It does show that Megapixel isn't everything.

                  P.S GN1 is Samsung's answer to OmniVision OV48C since it was the first-ever Quad Bayer sensor to match Samsung HM1 and HM3 physical sensor size.

                    SuuperBaka, 02 Sep 2021That 200MP sensor is a waste. At least their 50MP is decent50mp is decently? It will be the top sensor next year.
                    Sony has nothing to match the Gn2 this year

                          That 200MP sensor is a waste. At least their 50MP is decent

                                  Besides 4-1 along 16-1 binning both aren't real binning. 16-1 is mostly software basis..

                                  making 9-1 binning to 16-1 binning should be even better than doing it from 4-1 binning.

                                    Let me guess. Xiaomi will be the first to use it, again? Exactly like the Samsung almighty 108MP sensor. Which was used in mi mix alpha before Samsung used it in their own models.
