OhNom, 13 Jan 2022It does it in reality, nobody needs it as such, but it work... moreHigh resolution has not to do with motion.
Sports cameras are all 20-26MP.
The more frames you take of moving subject, the easier is to get the photo you want.
Apple would firstly need to offer AF for burst mode.
EIS indeed can benefit of extra pixels, but the higher is the mode you record, the weaker goes the EIS.
You can check that all phones have more stable 1080@30 compared to 4K@30.

Having access to raw on all cameras is real win though, coupled with hi res and great lens, only Vivo is left. Hi res aside, Sony can do too, but the rest of brands is incapable from what I know. No boasting anywhere...
Hi res is not everything, for photographer is having raw(or 12bit hdr raw) heaven, but when comparing low res and hi res, its obvious difference as to noise and detail.

AnonD-834088, 13 Jan 2022📸👈 ok fella ,point acceptedWell yes and no, the 8k video recording and greater lossless zoom are right. But better photography is rather subjective, as is better motion, contrast and image stabilisation as all are subject to additional factors to increase or decrease their effectiveness.
Case in point many smartphones feature 48mp and higher resolution sensors with no discernible improvements in many of these points, in fact some even show a regression in some areas.
In the end though, a move to such a sensor would be a positive for Apple provided they properly implement it, which I’m betting they will. Time will tell though.

Apple is usually late but when they deliver , they deliver the best.
Iphone13promax is one of the best with a 12 megapixels camera and i’m sure they kill other cameras with new sensor the way they did with m1 processor

Apple is usually 3 years late to whatever Samsung brings like punch hole and periscope lens. Then their fans will defend them by saying Apple is just refining it when it's an excuse for their tardiness

I tried it in a few stores in China and the saturation also seems higher on the Xiaomi 11 pro relative to the Xiaomi 11 ultra.

gcam should fix that, as hardware side probably is match.

To do same with bayer 48MP (probably larger ) Apple does with the current 12, then Apple surely would need to buy one with significant amount of DRAM inside. Knowing Apple, this has zero possibility to happen when you see for years iphones had those 1/2.55" that cost less than $10 per unit (for example imx586 was announced for $25).
Speed is why the full resolution mode is less processed compared to the 1/4 (or 1/9) resolution. Less software tricks are applied.
You can see this on reviews of few phones here. The 12MP mode is very different result compared to "full resolution" downscaled to the 12MP.

They use the same main sensor, same 8p lens and same processor but Xiaomi deliberately did not offer the same software algorithm on the Xiaomi 11 pro. On paper it looks like the main cameras should be the same but in reality the output isn't

Maybe use real time hdr, something other do not.
Despite being the purpose of quadbayer tech.
Considering neighbor pixels with same colour filter are meant to work at different exposures, it should not be necessary to use multi frame, because single frame would be enough when using real time HDR.
These phones still cannot handle some situations without using many frames. Few use too many frames with negative E.V , reason exif often shows shutter speed faster than 1/5000s.

Nick Tegrataker, 13 Jan 2022If treated right, full-res images from a Quad Bayer sensor ... moreYou cant use these examples.
Phones with largest bayer 12MP are 1/1.65" (44mm2).
You cannot compare against other at least 50% larger.
HM3 is 72mm2, I expect imx700y to be like 72,5mm2.
Nikia 808 had old tech. Sensor made by toshiba was not even BSI like current ones. Not even counting the much weaker ISP from the cpu, lack of proper AF system.
808 does not need to apply the bizarre amount of sharpening many phones today do. Raw out of these phones are completely different from jpeg. Texture "quality" is not near compared to jpeg.
Pixel 2 and U12 are best example. Front cam of both.
8MP camera would never show skin imperfection at that level.
Anyway, as long costumers think they are getting " details", everybody wins.

We get news about a phone which will be released in 10 months.
As if we were waiting for something extremely significant in our lives.
10 months.....
