This has Bionz X chip.
Unlike all other xperia where Bionz is software.

Daft, 04 Nov 2021Doesnt mean its 12MP, it only use 60% of the sensor size. F... moreno, we android fans only care about megapixels.
more megapixels= better picture.
this phone from sony -the manufacturer of smartphone sensors - has 12 mp sensor, at least it has more resolution than iphone which has 12mp.

Anonymous, 03 Nov 2021So 1" type, but actually 12mp out of 20mp from 1"... moreDoesnt mean its 12MP, it only use 60% of the sensor size. From image quality that youtubers made, it is clearly better than any other smartphone camera quality. Think of the results not just the spec. Even when this phone main camera is F2 where other phones have F1.7, this phone seems to do extremely well in low light better than other phones and how can you ignore the authentic bokeh that can only be achieve with huge ass sensor? From this, we can clearly tell that the sensor size is much more bigger than other phones and itd much more bigger than what people actually think it is.

So 1" type, but actually 12mp out of 20mp from 1" sensors. 12/20 = 3/5 = 1/1.7 !!, which is smaller than most flagship. No wonder there is no protruding big camera mount on the back!!! They did not do any wonder on this one!

Nick Tegrataker, 02 Nov 2021Nokia 808 does not support raw capture.Tell me what your top 5 phones are... for camera this year and top 5 phones in general.. for year 2021.

Will Gsmarena be comparing all flagships this year??
Big camera comparison?? Between Vivo X70 pro plus, Mi 11 Ultra, pixel 6 pro, S21 Ultra and iPhone 13 pro Max???

Hardware always beats software. You can't compute your way to capturing more photons on a bigger physical sensor area. That's why a photo from a Nokia 808 w/ a huge 1/1.2" sensor, if taken in DNG format using the CameraPro app and processed on a OC using modern PP software would still kick the cr4p out of any pic from an overpriced made in China Crapple hypephone w/ its tiny sensor bought from a real camera sensor manufacturer. Everything else is just postcapture JPEG processing.

Tann Hauser, 28 Oct 2021Lower pixel count does not equate lower sensor-ISP processi... more"Whether SDs ISP could manage a 20 mpx sensor readout as fast and as seamless as a 12 mpx one, is debatable"
Nope, it's not debatable. Let's say it takes 10ms for RX100's sensor to scan the entire sensor area. SD888 can process 2.7 billion pixels per second, which means within that period of time it can process a 27MP image without any delay. Given the sheer processing capability of Qualcomm's Spectra ISP and Sony's Bionz processor, you should take any of their claims regarding the improved processing speed or such with a grain of salt.
By the way, I can guarantee you that those 24mm FoV samples would've looked significantly better if the entire 20 million of pixels on the sensor were used to capture them. After all, there's a reason why the regular Mi 11 significantly outperforms the Mi 11 Ultra in evenly lit scenes during the day - the "more megapixel" strategy works as long as the sensor is backed up by a lens that can outresolve it.

Tann Hauser, 28 Oct 2021Lower pixel count does not equate lower sensor-ISP processi... more"You get physicaly less detail, thats all."
Which still is the same as a lower quality photo. . .
There is no way around the very simple fact that if Sony had used the sensor at it's full potential, the phone would have produced better photos than how they currently only use a 60% of it.
As far as ISP power goes, again the RX100 VII using the full sensor has maybe around five times less power than the SD888. This is why it is limited to 4K30 for video and sustained burst at 20fps. All indicating less than 0.5 gigapixels per second, vs the 2.7 gigapixels per second of the SD888.
So the SD888 would have easily been able to get as much out of the whole sensor as the RX100 VII, and more. But ooopsie, they can't make their phone better than the RX100-series as it cannibalizes their lineup.

Tann Hauser, 28 Oct 2021Lower pixel count does not equate lower sensor-ISP processi... moreThe RX100 1" Sensor can do 1000fps at 1080p , the Snapdragon 888 can do 960fps at 720p.
The Xperia Pro I can do 120fps at 720p.
So i think in this case the only Reason to crop the Sensor is physical Size of the device.

STT, 28 Oct 2021It uses the same ISP as the RX camera if I understood correctly.That would be great, but im wondering why the maximum FPS for Videos in XperiaProI is 120 FPS on the Sony Website. Even the RX100V can do 1000 FPS.
