Makimaki, 12 Feb 2020Well for 1000 eur phone, should be better than 550 eur one. Or lets say equipped better. Cmo... morePricing-wise, these phones are priced mainly for the postpaid users in which Telecoms buys these phones in bulk. A price hike of 400EUR is not an indication that this really is 400EUR superior in terms of capabilities. The price just there to have parity with the Telecom counterparts.

Nick Tagataka, 12 Feb 2020No, this sensor captures exactly the same amount of light as the Tetracell 108MP sensor - it's... moreMan ! You need to understand something here. He didn't mean the total light. He mean't Each pixel (at 12MP) after binning.
Nick, You have done it before too. Are you always focused on catching other's mistake ?

Billiken_27, 12 Feb 2020I don't understand the advantage of a 108MP sensor over one of 12MP. The bigger cell captures ... moreThere is a theoretical HDR advantage (though it's not clear whether it's worse or better in reality) and it should be better for digital zoom than a traditional 12 megapixel sensor. Though it's very likely that you don't get high quality 3x zoom with this sensor. For example no Quad Bayer 48 megapixel camera could compete with a 2x camera. In the high resolution mode it was more comparable with a 16 megapixel Bayer sensor with a lot of artifacts.

No, it doesn't capture twice as much light. Obviously the amount of captured light is identical.

The bigger cell captures ... moreThese type of sensor usually have less noise and more dynamic range because each pixel captures a image at different exposure and can do one shot HDR instead of multiframe capture and than merging them

BS... Why they didn't make then a 20 "big" megapixel camera???
It's an utter stupidity! Size of a pixel is a size of a pixel, it's still a small one.
If one would've been 3 times the size - that would make the whole difference!

Whackcar, 12 Feb 2020Personally I'm more intrigued by the upcoming Omnivision camera that takes 1.2um pictures in 4... moreIf isocell provides lower quality than exmor and isocell is better than omnivision.
So ........
Few motorola use omnivision.

Personally I'm more intrigued by the upcoming Omnivision camera that takes 1.2um pictures in 48MP mode (compared to HM1's 0.8um pictures in 108MP mode).
That aside, I'm still fully interested in seeing image samples from this sensor to see if Nona-Bayer method is worth going for or not.

The difference between 100$ phone and 500$ phone will be massive with atleast 5 times better overall performance & quality. But a 1000$ phone won't be 2 times better than 500$ phone. This is not common to smartphone industry. Every luxury product in all industries follow the law of diminishing returns because there's no way to show much difference between the products.

High res Bayer sensor behind 26mm can give better 2x zoom digital than small low res camera at 52mm.

No, this sensor captures exactly the same amount of light as the Tetracell 108MP sensor - it's simply that each virtual pixel in a binning mode is 2.25 times more sensitive to the light on S20U's sensor, at the expense of luminance resolution (27MP -> 12MP).

I don't understand the advantage of a 108MP sensor over one of 12MP. The bigger cell captures more light than the small one. So...why 9 small cells instead one big cell? Detail?? Detail is not about sensor it's about glass.
