Anonymous, 06 Dec 2020Lol this is bigger than 1" size. 1/0.57"=1.75" sensor size. My bad! It's even bigger than micro four thirds!

And uploading or downloading or even transfering them from one device to anoher i mean 2 weeks of hollydays making photos for example will take whole life to copy paste hahaha.

pointless as even DSLR pixel doesn't goes so high and i seriously doubt it can even produce good quality images and remember its 108mp so much issues with it. samsung should look into creating a miniature high quality len with zoom like canon lines of removal lens - to produce good images one needs a good image processor and a high quality len

>> If one is just concerned about how images look on social media, why bother with flagship sensors? Even budget devices these days will give you great images for social media.
Should we put average sensors on flagships then?
The devil is in the details.

CptPower, 07 Dec 2020Sio a single image will cost maybe 500 megabytes of disk space haha. True lol. Maybe by the time this sensor is out we'll have terabytes of storage and way better cloud servers.

You mean those (still) tiny sensors with tiny photo site... moreThe 1/1.33" sensor from Samsung produces effective pixel size of 2.4 micron which is same as the one on a 1" sensor.
This sensor will be even bigger.

This is a sensor made for smartphones, there was too much hype on the pixel bining technology that we thought we can finally make that long awaited big step in mobile photography that was and still limited by the sensor size, but over the years it has proven not to be a huge deal. Apple, google and sony are still using 12mp sensors with very good results, yes you will loose some detail if you zoom in, but that is a useless feature especially since most people share compressed photos on social media. The biggest improvements we've seen in camera sensors in the last 5 years are the sensor size that is getting bigger with each generation (although I don't know how far we can go with that) and the software processing (which is also related to the power of the chip set). So again, why are they still wasting time and money on pixel count?

"to have better quality in zoomed videos"...aren't they switching to telephoto lenses while zooming videos,too? Am I wrong?

Not developed for professional photography. I don't think customers would need to zoom that much into a picture. 12mp sensors are enough even if you wanna take a print and frame a family photo. Sure, there will be few occasions where more pixels would give an edge but realistically, that will be very rare cases I guess.

Too bad Samsung killed their lineup of cameras.
To be honest, I have no idea how can they squeeze 600mp with 0.8mj pixels into a smartphone. Can't wait to see what they do!

Who needs anything over 24mpx my phone has 103mpx and its so slow taking the photo I just use the 12mpx option so it can actually take the photo in time

I use the MI 10 Ultra with its 48Mpx sensor, and even though the shots are not as from a dslr camera, they're bloody damn close. Any professional photographer will use a camera for good photos, and as for common folk like myself - the assortment of cameras that are offered on the market right now are more than enough for social media. Even Sony messed up their game streaming away from point and shoot to offering "professional" tools for its phones.

nah, 60k MP to capture the big bang. Samsung should stop this megapixel race, it's useless. We have never seen a professional camera that races for MP
