      Nick Tagataka, 05 Jan 2020Bokeh is a term derived from Japanese that indicates blur p... moreThat's background blur, it's different from bokeh. You're right about the word bokeh deriving from Japanese word, but bokeh specifically means the artistic quality produced by shallow depth of field and not the shallow depth of field itself. In Japanese bokeh is 'Boke', whereas background blur in 'Bokashi', those two terms were derived from the same verb 'Bokasu', meaning 'To blur out', hence those two terms are much less distinguished from each other than in English. But we're speaking English here, so let's try not to confuse them.

Comparing jpg mean it is factoring heavily on the in-camera processing. You also need to have the lens on the same or at least similar MP sensor for fair comparison. The 108MP sensor will easily crush a 12MP sensor even on the same lens simply due to more MP, unless the lens is that bad to produce way less than 12MP resolution.

        Smartphone camera can provide comparable result to dSLR with use of in-camera processing, faster aperture, better stabilization and so on. But at same ISO, no way they are even close to dSLR in terms of noise and details, even with the best gcam and lenses.

                    Its not about the pixel count. As this proves. Its about the lenses. Even its the same sensor samsung has better lens as the low light pics show. But my question is imagine having leica lenses on this sensor then we will see some magic. If the Huawei put this in the P40 pro say. We would be talking DSLR territory.

No need to be a Fanboy to realize such things. The question is whether you want to pay a huge price for those details.

                        Brand wars by proxy in the new decade.
                        It's so tiresome.

                          So just showing Samsung is on Apple's path. More expensive new model with 1% improvements over last years :) The rest is done by adverts and Cellular operator's network around the World.

                                      12MP or even 48MP cannot over perform a 108MP. camera even with software. Else in this logic then 1MP camera is also better
