Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will rethink the approach to shooting on a 200-megapixel camera

The issue of using a 200-megapixel camera in the rapidly approaching Samsung flagship is practically resolved

Galaxy S23 Ultra.It was previously reported that the Koreans kept the HP2 sensor, which is the best in terms of capabilities (from Xiaomi and Motorola HP1), and now UniverseIce has revealed another feature of the Galaxy S23 Ultra compared to competitors from China. According to his data, the smartphone will allow you to take pictures in a resolution of 12.5 megapixels, that is, in 16-in-1 binning, and will abandon the 50-megapixel mode (4-in-1). Whether it will be possible to receive 200-megapixel images is not specified.

Note that today the norm for the Galaxy S22 Ultrais a 108 MP camera with 9-in-1 binning up to the same 12 MP. Such a solution in theory makes it possible to achieve imitation of huge pixels and greater light capture, which affects the quality of images in difficult lighting conditions. Samsung HP1 sensor in Xiaomi 12T Pro produces 2.56 microns in 12 MP mode, HP2 should have a physical size of 0.6 microns, that is, this figure will be slightly smaller, which means it will lose to 50 MP GN options with larger physical pixel sizes. How Samsung will promote its new developments remains to be seen early next year.
