                There is a diminishing return going above a certain level, but there is also a big one under a certain one, and 12Mp is the sweet spot.

                There is a reason why Apple, Google and Sony who are reputed for their good photography stuff use 12Mp sensors and avoid getting below that.
                12Mp have been a golden standard for ages, it allows enough details for retouching the picture in a good way, cropping if necessary, and allow to regular imperfection to be smoothed out when viewed at less than the max resolution (which is almost always the case when not zooming in).

                Sub-12Mp Wide, Ultra-Wide or Telephoto sensors are as stupid as 2Mp Macro.
                A good 12Mp sensors will often give better result than same size 8Mp sensors as the size difference is negligible unlike what a smartphone sensor vs an APS-C is, but the added resolution, MAINLY considering that there is no continuously variable focal length telephoto, but they all use cropping to have continuous image magnification, will always be the superior option.
                A good old IMX586 who crop at 12Mp will get much better results than most, if any 8Mp sensors at equivalent tech.
                Only superior tech, like better Bayer, better base CMOS, better analog to digital converter, or better low light capabilities, like the IMX663 who is used in the Xperia 1 Mk3 and Xperia 5 Mk3 Telephotos is optimized for would make a difference.

                In the end, the pixel size difference do so little difference that the added resolution do more.
                And the front element to sensor size ratio have a much greater impact than sensor/pixel size in the end, making the lens setup playing the most crucial role in all that.

                    OIS?
                    I think Xiaomi is afraid of OIS while Samsung gonna use OIS in all of A series

                            Dudenoway, 09 Oct 2021Why not a 12mp periscopeMP aren't everything. Even P30 Pro with 8 MP has excellent image quality

                              SMIRNAS, 09 Oct 2021noway SD898 will be use on flagship killer first,,, no way It's most likely going to be higher than 700 or 800

                                AnonD-909757, 09 Oct 2021Same reasoning as the OEMs, if X brand have a nMp sensor, t... moreWell said. It's wierd how if they make the costumers more happy they cna get more profit but they choose the people hating them but still buying them route cuz if marketing.

                                  Hopefully this marks the end of the 2MP macro bs we've had to put up with for the past two years. K20 Pro with a real telephoto was the killer to beat and Xiaomi failed with the following releases

                                    Just make it without any punch hole/notch/UDC cancer, with a flat display, an above 12Mp Wide + Ultra-Wide + Telephoto and a 3.5mm Jack already!
                                    Bonus if the FPS is ultrasonic.

                                    But, yeah, why would I expect anything good to happen anyway?

                                      Dudenoway, 09 Oct 2021Why not a 12mp periscopeSame reasoning as the OEMs, if X brand have a nMp sensor, then we need the same one obviously, even if it is too low resolution compared to a decade worth of minimum photography standard.

                                        Interesting. A flagship redmi series. Very good choice. Maybe should compete wiht base models of all company flagship series.
