      Note that the Xiaomi Note 10 has a wider field of view, therefore its 27.1 megapixel resolution is more comparable to 23 megapixels, when you compare details from distant objects. Also the noise from distant objects would be better, if it had the same field of view as Samsung's Note 10.

          Well its about xiaomi's poor post processing as always this sensor has the potential just the post processing of most of chinese brands such as xiaomi oppo vivo realme oneplus etc etc is bad like always. Coz of this their devices fall back in camera department most of the time even after having good hardware

            These types of sensors are made to boost DR by providing different exposure of each 2 pixels. But the gap between pixels are bigger compare to gap between bigger pixels.
            An issue that will be solved by using exmor imx686, tech Samsung will copy because their imaging division does not same competence of sony imaging ....

            Same way they copied imx400 and imx586 .....

              Panino Manino, 04 Jan 2020Zeiss still makes lenses for smartphones, at least for Nokia.Just branded name on the device , same way Nokia logo on it.
              Otherwise phone would cost much more.
              Do tou really think a $250 phone would have Zeiss lenses? Keep dreaming.

                Let alone the Nona Bayer on Samsung.

                You are stuck up with outdated knowledge about traditional sensors.
                Samsung engineers know what they are doing.

                  "Of course you need a 108MP camera. You just don't need 108MP images".

                  This line should shut up all the haters of the upcoming HMX sensor to be used in Galaxy s20.

                    I don't need a 108mp camera. There's something called a DSLR. And neither do I feel the need of paying for an overpriced Galaxy device. Xiaomi is the obvious winner.

                        I bet the new Sony IMX686 will be better than these two.

                          Gsmarena, I would like to see a comparison in a very dark room or extreme darkness with iPhone 11 Pro, Pixel 3a/4, Huawei P30 Pro/Mate 30 Pro and Note 10+. By the way, I noticed that Google's Night Sight can produce even brighter photos in extreme darkness, if one uses exposure compensation, that's nice. The iPhone 11 night mode doesn't offer exposure compensation

                            "Meanwhile the Galaxy's lower resolution, combined with Samsung-style sharpening has resulted in a 'made-up' rendition of the patterns."
                            "It's debatable whether fake color is better than fake patterns"

                            What are you talking about?
                            There's nothing "fake" about that, it's just a old and well known limitation in the resolving resolution and sensor design.

                              Anonymous, 03 Jan 2020A camera doesn't necessarily need a large sensor in order t... moreI have to add that I wanted to say Note 10+ (Samsung).
                              Furthermore I want to add that Xiaomi's camera has a wider field of view, which means that the amount of captured light distributes over a larger field of view. So when you are interested in the noise of distant objects (which have the same angle of view for both cameras), an f/1.1 lens (not f/1.0) with the field of view of the Note 10+ would capture the same amount of light per time from distant objects. Then in extreme darkness the noise might be even better due to the lower megapixel count of Samsung's sensor.

                                Mi note 10 is here clearly a winner for me. I love detail on Photos.

                                  There is no true bokeh on phones. True bokeh is physical, not digital.
                                  Mi Note 10 Pro would need at least same sensor behind 50 mm f0.5 lens for real bokeh.

                                  Even worse on note 10+ that 1/3.4" paired with 52mm f2.4 is like FF + f20.

                                        There is a italian guy on twitter (he said xperia 2 was not going to be name of last IFA device and also that s11 is not name of upcoming Galaxy S) says you should not expect s20 to do better than s10. That ppl will be disappointed.
