Samsung develops new 200MP sensor, Galaxy S23 Ultra is the likely pioneer

10 May 2022
Few details have been revealed at this point

Sort by:

The 108mp camera an s21 and s22 are really usless, terrible quality which shows that amount of resolution is only to decive people and now we will have 200mp😑 when this MP war stops

      -never see replies-, 11 May 2022200MP will be so overwhelming.. Common people will use it,... more200MP would be 12MP anyways cuz of binning. I don't think it's gonna be as big of a problem as you make it to be.

        200MP will be so overwhelming..
        Common people will use it, and then when they upload it to social apps, the quality of picture file get reduced.

        Lmao

          Can't wait

            Mobilemaster, 10 May 2022It uses binning, so actual shots will be around 12 MP, but ... moreI can't find any information regarding binning on the internet so far... I guess we'll find out sooner or later. Even if it's 4 way binning, then 11.75MP shots could still be really good with such a large sensor.

            BTW, every other company is providing multi-cam setups, so i like the different route Sharp is taking with their latest flagships. A single powerhouse of a camera can really make a difference in photography.

            They did actually go the multi-cam route with the R5G two years ago (Wide, Ultrawide, 2xTele, ToF), but the phone failed to make a buzz in a market full of similar phones. That's probably why they're trying something different.

              how about they stop the mp race and hope on the sensor size race>?

                I thiught Motorola Frontier will be pioneer of this not Samsung.
                Pure android experience always prevail Samsung useless and typical bloatware.

A 3x optical zoom would be appreciated on a flagship.

                      Samsung, you could improve the light gathering and resolution capabilities of the sensor greatly, by altogether removing the CFA, and either handling everything in post, or, having a CFA projection on the sensor, and using the dual image (with and without colour), for substantially improving detail and light information. The Computational Photography Algorithms will have to be seriously tweaked to get rid of fringing and moire. If done well, the sensor could have some serious zooming capabilities, without needing another sensor for that.

As much as I want the 50mp I feel like 40mp would have been a better trade off for pixel size still. But 47mp 1 inch will still be nice.... meanwhile Sony over charging for 1 inch sensor that you only get 12mp out of... and other specs of phone are 2-8 years behind other phones... shame

                          Mobilemaster, 10 May 2022Those who are complaining this is a stupid idea, just wait ... moreSo much better than it's own phone is nothing to be proud of. It should be so much better than others that will make heads turn. It's good quality i would admit but at night it's horrible. I somehow feel they should be able to do better with the hardware but it's Samsung as always trying to use hardware to compensate for their lack in software power. I can only imagine what Google can do with the kind of camera hardware that Samsung has.

Which whole boy being 40/50mp still trades of with huge pixels for a phone. I was impressed with the r6 results so I am eager to see what the r7 brings

The Aqous R7 comes with a 47MP 1" sensor with F/1.9 aperture. It's not confirmed yet whether it uses any type of binning or not. Their last phone had a 20MP 1" sensor without any binning, so they might really deliver a behemoth of a phone camera on a smartphone. Fingers crossed.

                                    ⚠️ warning! Warning!! Warning..⚠️

                                    It's enough people..!!!🤦‍♂️

                                    If Samsung actually cares about the Ultra "the best video/photographic galaxy"..then they should think twice and focus on what experts are doing
                                    ..BIG sensors,small but might pixels, and an all round unique set up (at least same sensor n aperture size for primary and UW modules)

                                    _then add up something like laser and 3dTOF sensor ...👌
                                    Period..!

Imagine coming to a comment section and crying about how someone you "knew" was not who they were all these years, then start bringing up your education to try and put them down.

                                      Nobody can verify where you work, and nobody really cares either. Just because you are studying something doesn't mean you know everything about it. There's always more to learn and improve on.

                                        you have to suffer, 10 May 2022so all phone camera sensors use 12MP?? my life is a lie !!!... moreThis was always the case with Pixel binning. GSMarena even made an article about it a while ago
