    just check reviews of other phones and compare exposure between 12MP and full res mode.

    imagine stacking frames when sensor has poor readout. I doubt GN1 can be read in less than 50ms at 50MP.

              It seems that there is again no high resolution mode. Unexplainable.... If Google isn't able to cope with the Quad Bayer array, then they should use at least a 16 megapixel Bayer sensor for the main camera in my opinion. This would also improve the image quality for portraits.
              And the new periscope camera doesn't make any sense, they simply could have combined the previous periscope lens with the same sensor size, but with more than 12 megapixels (for example 30 megapixel Bayer sensor). Then you would get far more reach and could still use the periscope camera at a 103mm field of view.

                        The Huawei P30 Pro advertised a 125mm 8 megapixel camera and the auto mode actually used a 135mm (5x27mm) crop with less than 7 megapixels, but there was at least the option to use the entire field of view (I think in the manual mode).

                              When Google released the Pixel 4, they advertised that the sensor of the tele camera has 16 megapixels. But there was no option to use the entire sensor area. The 2x option actually used a 10 megapixel crop from the 16 megapixel sensor.
