Co... moreIdea of quadbayer is to use pixels of different exposures. But none is doing this.
If none is using , it is being wasted.
Sensor is not going to do it by itself, software has its role.
Looks like you are the rookie here.
LG Superfan, 07 Apr 2020Can the binning be optional? Like the user selects how much binning they want 4-in-1, 9-in-1, ... moreNo because quadbayer/nonacell is hardware level.
Not software like OP6T or LGG7 bright mode.
Clearly this high megapixel count competition doesn't really produce relatively sharper results than standard bayer lower resolution sensors.
Well, Quad Bayer or any multi-Bayer sensors don't even resolve as much detail as what their resolution indicate, nor do they even provide better low light performance or wider dynamic range.
See, wider dynamic range can be achieved by using larger native pixels with some software enhancements, which is shown by the Galaxy Note 10+ by having better shadow details than the S20 Ultra. I'd say the best implementation would be the main sensor of the S20/S20+ and Xperia 1 Mk II. At 12MP single bayer 1/1.7" sensor, their 1.8um native pixel size should theoretically offer supreme low light performance, and the S20/S20+ somehow prove their superiority to the S20 Ultra, especially in low light video.
As for resolved detail, it is a matter of having a lens that could resolve a large amount of detail. A highly-detailed 12MP image can be oversampled and upscaled to, say 48MP, and its details would convincingly look like a true 48MP image from a true 48MP sensor due to the detail resolving power of the lens, and in the case of flagships, they should be able to do this for their asking price tag.
It's about darn time we actually do something more sensible with camera technologies, instead of making new things that are actually worse than existing ones.

Either way, we don't have to go that far away. Even an APS-C sensor is more than enough to slaughter all of the best smartphone camera systems to ever exist.

Taking your example, Nexus 6 was 160 mm tall, but considering how big the bezels were, the top of the screen was 10 mm lower. So your touch area was basically 150 mm tall. That was a giant phone in its time, Galaxy S5 got released the same year, with 5.1" screen.
These days, bezel-less phones that reach 150 mm height are close to 6" (6.1" for Galaxy S20, 151 mm tall) and that's the smallest option. You can easily get phones that will reach 165 mm tall with no bezels.
The stretched aspect ratio makes phones narrower, thus easier to hold. But definitely not easier to use. You can stretch out the screen, but not your fingers.

True marketing. Another bining pixel phone rom Xiaomi.
Poor people and not very smart people - this kind of marketing uses them as target.
I will be shocked if this is "LG G9".
And one pic will takes about 30mb storage lol

I wonder tho if Nokia can combine two techs with tons of pixels binned resulting 41mp natively with huge pixel size and from there, their PureView's downsampling take over.

If you compare the Nexus 6 (6.0") to iPhone 11 Pro Max (6.5"). You'll notice that the physical dimensions of the iPhone are actually smaller than the Nexus.
Thee point being, that phones haven't really gotten larger than old-school phablets. Just their aspect ratios have changed, and their bezels have been trimmed.

Most 6.5 inch smartphones from 2020 have smaller footprint than 5.5 inch devices from few years back. The screen size has increased, not the dimensions.
Unfortunately, Some users still throw a hissy fit over increased screen size without taking into consideration the dimensions of the phone
