Their own product is to expensive for their own use? That should tell them something about themselves right there

They need to make their s series ultra a bit more large near 8-9 inches of display at least. Current one is too small for a phone.

As long as BBK and Xiaomi outdo themselves who can produce less firmware updates, more bloatware and more spyware, while only Samsung and Google have the resources to provide decent firmware with quick updates and many years of support, they can continue putting second rate hardware.
Huawei was the exception. Honor seems short-handed on updates just like Sony and Asus. The rest doesn't even try anymore... Motorola went down the drain to software wise. HTC and Nothing too small....the fewest corners were cut on oppo find X6 Pro but that's not usable outside China...
Choice is crap software and import Xiaomi or BBK or second rate hardware. Though Xiaomi and Vivo had cut some big corners on hardware too this year on their flagship (modem for example with Vivo, display on Xiaomi...).
Apple sadly is the one with the best compromise but I cannot stand prison cage iOS. Software/hardware quality they have dialled best.
Google shots themselves dead with their Soc made by old Samsung node. If they went Samsung 3nm for pixel 8 it would be okay, but just again a tiny bit improved Samsung 5nm is laughable...

how can you produce a sensor that is too expensive for your own flagship, yet make it available to other vendors, almost all of which sell their flagships below the price of the latest Samsung products?
Surely you could whack it in the latest flagship with those prices you are charging and make the money back in no time, If Sony can design a 1" sensor and it cost $15million you can easily do the same considering you sell probably 50 times more flagships per year

"So as per this logic, to Samsung LSI, Samsung Electronics is just another customer to them. They'll quote the same prices that applies to other manufacturers"
Sure, that's all understandable, but then why is it not too expensive for other manufacturers?

Anonymous, 18 Aug 2023Why can’t we get a new Samsung galaxy zoom 2Because:
1) zoom lens is more expensive, reason samsung does not have one.
2) that requires small sensor, K zoom had 1/2.3". 24-240mm in front of 1/1.3" sensor would make bump easily 12-13mm, this when lens is "off".
3) it is ugly

Samsung are so cheap that they won't use their OWN products, so disappointing. Samsung should be ashamed of themselves for being so cheap and low class. Seriously, Sony uses Samsung's QD-OLED panel better than them and Samsung tries to make Neo QLED their main attraction, stuff like this makes me think Samsung is run by marketing teams more than engineers, the marketing teams don't just advise the engineers, they TELL THEM to do stuff based on what they THINK the consumers want. Bravo Samsung, keep it up, you'll definitely hold your top 3 placement in most/all countries like this. If it weren't for software updates and availability issues other manufacturers would have destroyed samsung.

Anonymous, 18 Aug 2023No 1GP sensor, No buyBrands stay avay from IR and other camera adventures, but 100x zoom, hundreds of millions of pixels are safe for privacy...
Wonder if they can do something else than to change 1 sensor and 1 chip per year.

Samsung needs to first work on their batteries. They haven't learnt much since the note thing. Not too long ago their phones were found to have battery issues once again. That's unacceptable

Living in age where there are 10mp and 200mp on one phone and some phones can still out only 12mp at max.
While some can do 8k on 4 fovs, other can do only on 1 or not at all.
They just "recycle" and say we made so many changes, for a great price. Lol.

People here have not realized yet. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
These sensors that do not use Bayer CFA are cheaper to be made. Simple.
Bayer CFA sensor needs to have color filter and micro lens for each pixel.
Those quad, nona etc ... They can cover many pixels with 1 filter and 1 microlens at once.
Also, since these phones output 12/12.5/16MP photos, not need to spend money on lens that would be required for much higher resolution.
Nokia 808? You will never see that again. None of them are going to pay for.

Dr. Watson, 18 Aug 2023The article literally says that the 440MP sensor very likel... moreDo they ever read in anywhere ?
I also didnt read but i also understand that if they build it then there will be need for it in somewhere. Now think back few decades when laser was invented and people tough what we do with this thing and tough it is useless while now we cant live without it as it's used pretty much in everything.
108mp already is in the low end 200 euro phones so 2024-25 we probably see 200mp or even 320 if these be made for mobile. It's all number game for the market where people feel proved that there phone have lots of numbers that dont mean much anything.
