The 108 Megapixel Smartphone Camera
That I'm using for about a week for exactly one reason it has a 108-megapixel camera on the back so that is a wild number 108 megapixels and we have seen this College a bunch of twenty-somethings 24 why would this be the king smartphones.
It was pretty good but it seemed like every time we got a new higher megapixel number than that became the smartphone camera King even though megapixels didn't mean everything like just because something has a 16-megapixel camera doesn't mean it's necessarily better than the 12-megapixel camera around pretty much everyone having 12-megapixel cameras.
But 108 megapixels well let's start with what that actually means the resolution of one photo from a typical 12 megapixel camera like the iPhone is around 4,000 by 3000 so that totals around 12 million pixels 12 megapixels send at 12,000 by 9000 which is Multiplied to get you a hundred and eight million pixels or 108 megapixels resolution to make these numbers in a file size.
For me as ranged from about 20 to 30 megabytes per photo so it's pretty big and you probably already noticed there are actually five total cameras on the back of this phone 208 megapixels the main camera then there is a 12-megapixel 2X telephoto and a 2-megapixel macro camera flashes two pairs of flashes I get is a lot of Hardware clearly so much in fact that it sticks out from back of the founding end up like with It Rock on the table and everything.
But that's the sacrifice you make if you want all these pixels and all this camera quality so the question is how good do the photos actually look and the answer is really good are a lot of things that contribute to the quality of a smartphone photo color accuracy exposure to dynamic range contrast Etc Clifton main thing you're going to notice of course with such a high-resolution.
Here is sharpness and detail the photos in the hundred 8-megapixel modes are significantly sharper more detail than any other smartphone I've ever used special need give it a lot of lights on a daytime under Bright Lights basically but I will modify to say this it's mostly.
Center sharpness see the center of these frames are super crisp and sharp when you move out near the outer edges and corners of the frame it's rarely anywhere near as sharp as a perfect example in a center where you can see the details in this March the fiber is in a cotton she could practically feel the softness super high detail here but the edges of the frame.
Especially the corners get very quickly distorted and fought a focused even on flat landscape shop like this normally if you have a subject in the middle of a frame and you want that tack-sharp focus and don't really care about the edges then that's fine but in a landscape or something wider you really notice the edge Distortion having a great way to show this is to give context so iPhone 11 Pro we all know great set of cameras.
I can use any other pics of for a high-end smartphone system but I took the same photo on iPhone 11 Pro very similar of course with each photo different color temperatures slightly different exposures a little bit but again pretty similar.
But the advantage of so many pixels zoom in and keep Clarity and there's actually kind of able to read this tiny security sign over here on the xiaomi where it's literally just Blurred Lines on the iPhone out of the river is pretty similar that's typical can you start to see the difference in levels of detail especially in the trees and really anything that's near the middle of the frame like a links in a chain-link fence with 108 megapixels vs 12 is super obvious and a theme keeps going kind of no matter.
What your subject is as long as it's in the middle of the frame plug resumed all the way out there pretty similar with their images adjust the iPhone usually being a bit flattered and then suing in gets you this immense amount of detail and sharpness and a State Trooper in well-lit shots struggling and smoothing over everything to the point where it's a hundred 8-megapixels with all this noise reduction is less detailed than 12 megapixels with excellent image processing.
Actually talking about the photo-taking experience quality but using it make pixel photos typically open the camera in photo mode you're going to take scaled roughly 27-megapixel photo still high-end you can get a 2 x 2 5 x and an even further with hybrid Zoom macro shots are cool as the ultra-wide it feels fairly solid.
But then you switch over to the 108-megapixel mode and things slowed down quite a bit now there's a noticeable shutter lag of over a second as it captures being tired 12000 lines of resolution and processes the whole frame listen to The Not So Fast storage and then you can't do.
The photo you've taken until after another few seconds of that processing in writing a photo and then you can see it spinning for a bit and once it's done you can view it and once you view the huge photo actually zoom in when you can see if sharpen up so it's doing all this mainly to avoid having you deal with that and not so great experience all the time is smart but this is not the highest then phone in the world I'd call it upper mid-range specs already know.
A Snapdragon 730g chipping look at 6 weeks of RAM and 128 gigs of storage as the only Speck S7 General is not going to be the best equipped for spitting out 20 megabyte image files and manipulating them in real-time the rest of the phone I say is actually pretty well considered if you ask me is really salty Bilk you got to 5260 milliamp-hour battery and there's a 30 watt fast charger in the box and around the front like the curved screen at talked about that.
Before but generally the display itself is nice to 1080p there is even a headphone jack and an IR blaster and you can see it's running shammies you I need you I 11 on top of Android which has plenty of its own quirks and features definitely an improvement over the previous version from what I've used.
But clearly still skins over on my take is it's pretty sweet that we have illegitimate like an actual hundred 8-megapixel sensor that can fit in a smartphone today I just put a number on paper that's really cool it's not some faked composition adding up detail from 3/4 cameras is real is it good Landscapes and be able to use that.
Center of frame which is super detailed and profit do whatever you want but that sensor is so new and so big that the image processing pipeline make some not-so-great photos of close-up subjects and low-light scene so it's clearly not Flawless it in the camera specifically Galaxy S11 will have a hundred plus megapixel sensor resources towards making that a reasonable experience faster storage Hiren CPU has more processing power and I need.
Corsicana more tried-and-true Samsung image processing pipelines so all these things can maybe make 100-megapixel smartphone photo normalized and normal feeling instead of sort of like an add-on or an extra mode which is the way it is on this camera so excited for that potential future.
Just for the number on paper but because of the actual Improvement we seen in smartphone camera packages camera Tech in general since those Nokia Lumia 1020 days Nord VPN virtual private Network secure as you're in that traffic and trips it and route to through a remote server so essentially protects.
It through anyone locally trying to Snoop on his want to be most popular and secure tools they see people using to protect their data including myself so Nord Vpn is offering 70% off the 3-year plan push comes to 3:49 per month plus for additional months free so you find out about all this at nordvpn.com and Katie p.m. pretty well number we seen 108 megapixels Samsung.
