AnonD-454049, 26 Mar 2023phone sensors are still tiny compared to real cameras which... morenope, you said sensor size of dslr is more than some computation in phone, while its not.
If everything could be decided by just sensor size, we wouldn't have now people taking pictures with phones instead of full size cameras. So called quality of dslr vs stacked picture of much higher resolution with some alternative sensors and AI jumping in, even if inferior in certain aspects, is superior in most of situations of our life. Amount of detail cannot be recreated by quality pixels, I will tell you that.
Full frame cameras are actually quite lucky phones are not with FF inside for now, it would be one sided ''masacre''. - Which however won't be forever - with new design of phones coming - fold/roll.
While it doesn't seem like it with current anti camera centric design, potential for bigger sensors is there and while it wont be FF phone tomorrow, while full size cameras stagnate, phone sensors are getiing bigger and better. Outcome is obvious.

If you use the s23 ultra and the 12 ultra, why don't you use the x90 pro+? because the 12 ultra wasn't release globally.
Why auto mode? these high end phones are not for "average" consumers, you could have shoot in raw at least.
Why didn't you use the 200MP mode? it's not activate in auto.
Wich firmware did you use? were the phones updated?
This test is meh because we know that ALL phones have pros and cons but you didn't use them at their best.

AnonD-454049, 25 Mar 2023What are you talking about? I never mentioned $100 anywhere... moreWell, some time before I would agree, but seeing how bad can some phones with big sensor, resolution and aperture get in output due to poor computation, its definitely about as much important.
From my view current 200mp phones have worse computation than some 50mp phones. Though 200mp in samsung case give slight boost in some detail you wouldn't get from 50mp, so its like 200mp with beauty mode, not perfect but good, sharp looking even after zoom in, no 8bit wonder pixel art.

Definitely would like to see a follow up with Pixel 7 Pro, and others, then compare the final results to the ones on here. I have a Pixel 7 Pro, previous phone was a Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro. Can't say I see much difference in end quality, and I've had to download a different camera app so I can take long exposures for star trails. P7P native camera has an 8 second limit on long exposures

I don't even believe a $100 DSLR camera could win but if it were the same price as the phone it definitely will because sensor size/aperture/pixel size is far more important than computation

Olympus Oms, 25 Mar 2023It all depends on the optics and camera app handling. Nothi... moreRealllyy? Two different models of Xiaomi and both of them uses the same sony imx censor and they have the same camera app. So where the difference is coming from genius? Can it be computational power? The have different snapdragon processors. One which have much better ai and much better photography execution! Let's even talk about Vivo which uses the same Snapdragon chip with Xiaomi but uses their own v2 chip on the top of that dedicated for photography especially.
I'll give you even wilder example to open up your eyes. :)
Do you remember Samsung used to deliver two different flagships one with their Exynos and one with SD. Did you even check how SD was performing much better than exynos version. Same camera same app even same models but with one simple cpu difference that was what people got.
Don't spread bs!

Btw what do you think of Pixels? They don't do advertisments like Samsung and Apple do and they are surely lagging behind with chispet performance in flagship category, but they have their guns to compete even with flagship category. So, what's your opinion about Pixels? Should I go for Pixel 8? I really like more compact phones so that could be right for me. I don't lilke big phones so for me there is no many options. Only Samsung which I don't like and Apple which I can't use because of the iOS.
Cheers!
Have a nice and fulfilled weekend!
