When shopping for a new smartphone, one of the first things you’re likely to consider is the camera. After all, with today’s smartphones, we can capture stunning photos and videos that we can share with the world. But when it comes to camera megapixels, it’s important to remember that more isn’t always better. In fact, there are a number of reasons why you shouldn’t buy a smartphone based on camera megapixels alone.

Megapixels don’t tell the whole story

Megapixels refer to the resolution of the photos a camera can take, with one megapixel equaling one million pixels. While it’s true that more pixels can result in sharper images, the difference becomes less noticeable after a certain point. For example, a 12MP camera and a 48MP camera might not produce drastically different images in day-to-day use, especially on a smartphone screen or even a standard computer monitor. The higher resolution mostly benefits large-format prints or extreme zooming in, which most users rarely need.

Sensor size matters more than megapixels

The most critical component of a smartphone camera is the image sensor. This tiny chip captures light and converts it into an image. A larger sensor allows more light to enter, resulting in better low-light performance, improved dynamic range, and richer color accuracy.

For example, the Apple iPhone and Google Pixel series, both known for their exceptional camera performance, utilize sensors that emphasize quality rather than the number of megapixels. Despite having lower megapixel counts than some competitors, iPhones and Pixels consistently deliver superior real-world photography, thanks to their advanced sensor technology.

Lens quality and aperture

Another crucial factor in determining a smartphone camera’s performance is the lens quality and aperture size. The lens focuses light onto the sensor, and a higher-quality lens can minimize distortions and aberrations. Meanwhile, the aperture (often denoted by f/ numbers like f/1.8, f/2.2) controls how much light reaches the sensor.

A lower f-number means a larger aperture, allowing more light to hit the sensor, which is especially beneficial in low-light situations. Even a 108MP camera with a small sensor and narrow aperture might struggle in low-light conditions, resulting in noisy and grainy images.

Image processing

What happens after a photo is taken is equally important. Modern smartphones rely heavily on image processing algorithms to enhance photos. These algorithms handle everything from noise reduction to HDR processing, color correction, and even computational photography techniques like night mode or portrait mode.

For instance, Apple’s iPhones are renowned for their image processing capabilities, delivering consistently high-quality photos even with lower megapixel counts. This shows that a camera’s software can be just as critical as its hardware.

Conclusion

While megapixels are an essential aspect of a smartphone camera, they are far from the most critical factor in determining image quality. A well-balanced smartphone camera setup, with a good sensor, quality lenses, and strong image processing software, will consistently deliver better photos than a camera that relies solely on high megapixel counts.

When choosing your next smartphone, consider the entire camera system and how it performs in real-world scenarios rather than getting swayed by megapixel numbers alone. By doing so, you’ll likely end up with a device that offers a more versatile, reliable, and enjoyable photography experience.

Back in November 2022, Sony had officially unveiled the new LYTIA branding for its new range of image sensors that were built specifically for mobile devices. Now, the company has finally revealed a couple of new image sensors from this new lineup. So here are all the details.

Sony LYTIA series brings new 50MP image sensors

Previously, the company offered its IMX series for its latest and most advanced image sensors. And now, it appears to be expanding its image sensor lineup that will be offered to different mobile platforms. Although, it is still unclear if the LYTIA brand will eventually replace the IMX series or simply co-exist alongside it. Sony’s Semiconductor Solutions unit will launch new sensors that effectively have a 50 megapixel across the lineup.

The base model is the new LYT500, which has a small 1/2.93 inch sensor with 0.6 micron pixels. On the other hand, the higher end LYT700 is HDR enabled and features a 1/1.56 inch sensor size. The higher end LYT800 is for premium devices and is the first imaging CMOS to support a “2 layer transistor pixel structure, enabling excellent saturation signal level”. However, the lineup doesn’t end there with a flagship sensor dubbed the LYT900 built for top end devices.

This model offers a 1 inch (1/0.98 inches) sensor and will likely make its way to flagship grade smartphones. It is unclear which models will feature these new image sensors, but it will likely be found in models like the next gen Oppo Find X series phone or Xiaomi’s numbered series’ Ultra grade models. So stick around for more updates.

Metalenz has recently reported that it has successfully raised about 10 million US Dollars for its project, which has it working on creating 3D sensors on chips that are 1,000 times smaller than a human hair.

According to a VentureBeat report, the company stated that the investment will enable it to scale production and even accelerate the development of other technologies as well. This includes miniature optics on a chip technology along with a new lens that can power next generations of imaging sensors, with applications in consumer electronic products like smartphones, the health care industry, and even the automobile industry. In other words, the new sensor technology could allow lenses to capture brighter images and enable higher quality infrared pictures as well.

These higher quality lenses could also bring improvements to the camera modules found in smartphones, boosting their photographic capabilities and making them more appealing to consumers. Simply put, these new sensors could help bring professional looking images even in unfavorable scenarios while also offering longer lasting battery life as well. Various smartphone makers are working on including 3D sensors in their camera modules. At the moment, companies like Apple include multiple image sensors in the rear camera modules to render 3D imagery.

Metalenz has raised the money through multiple firms including the likes of 3M Ventures, Applied Ventures, Intel Capital, M Ventures, and TDK Ventures, and more. These new sensors are based on meta-optic technology that was pioneered at Harvard University. The company’s CEO Devlin added that “over the past 20 years, most of the advances in camera and sensing technology in consumer electronics has been to electronics and algorithms, but the optics themselves have remained relatively unchanged.

With the Samsung Galaxy S21 series‘ launch being just around the corner, the high end Ultra variant is expected to feature an upgraded version of last year’s 108 megapixel sensor. Although, the company is apparently also working on a 200 megapixel sensor that might be seen in upcoming flagship launches soon.

Samsung ISOCELL will launch many innovative sensors in 2021.
200MP is coming soon.

— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) January 9, 2021

As per a tweet from known leakster @IceUniverse, the South Korean tech giant is planning on launching a new innovative sensor this year. These new sensors will also be under the company’s ISOCELL family and will include a 200 megapixel image sensor as well. Previously, we had reported on Samsung apparently working on a 600 megapixel smartphone image sensor, although, the 200 megapixel leak seems a lot more likely at the moment and should launch earlier as well.

Back in March 2020, it was rumored that the company would launch a new 150 megapixel sensor by the final quarter of last year. Although, this launch never happened and another report pointed at Samsung now working on a 250 megapixel sensor as well. Keep in mind that the performance of the camera on smartphones is not solely defined by the megapixel count. Software optimizations and machine learning also play a major role.

But the hardware is still just as important, with a higher megapixel sensor offering a wider degree of application to Samsung in fields like health, agriculture, IoT, drones, and automotive. Unfortunately, it is still too early to tell if the company is actually working on such a sensor, thus, we will have to wait for further reports and rumors or even an official announcement to know for sure. So stay tuned for more updates.

Huawei has been restricted by the United States after the company has been put on Entity List last year. A couple of months ago, new sanctions were imposed on the Chinese giant, cutting its access to several necessary components, including chipsets.

But now, more and more companies are getting approval from the United States government to continue doing business with Huawei. In the latest development, Sony and Omnivision have been granted licenses to supply components to Huawei.

As per the report, Sony and OmniVision, two of the world’s leading companies that provide camera imaging sensors, have received approval from the United States and can now ship products to Huawei Technologies.

Sony is the world’s leading supplier of camera imaging sensors while Omnivision is the third-largest supplier after Samsung. While Omnivision is headquartered in California, the company was acquired by a China-based fund in 2014.

The development could be a major relief for Huawei as high-end camera performance is one of the factors behind the success of the company’s premium Mate-series and P-series smartphones globally. With this development, Huawei can continue to offer smartphones with advanced camera features.

Since the U.S. government added new sanctions on the Chinese giant, Sony had trimmed its capital spending plan for three years, as the restrictions created a gap of billions of dollars in sales from supplying image sensors to Huawei.

Apart from these two companies, Intel, AMD, and Samsung Display have also received approval from the United States to continue doing business with Huawei. While Samsung Display will be able to provide OLED panels, AMD and Intel are supplying the Chinese giant with chipsets for its laptop business.

More than 300 countries have applied for a special license with the United States government to keep doing business with Huawei, including companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Recently, it was revealed the U.S. is granting licenses as long as the component supplied is not related to the company’s 5G business.

Samsung Electronics has announced four new ISOCELL image sensors for its 0.7 micrometers (μm)-pixel product lineup — 108-megapixel ISOCELL HM2, 64-megapixel ISOCELL GW3, 48-megapixel ISOCELL GM5, and 32-megapixel ISOCELL JD1.

With the new 0.7μm ISOCELL technology, the South Korean giant aims to expand the ultra-high-resolution offerings to mainstream smartphones. The small pixel size will allow cameras to be more powerful with thin smartphone designs.

The company says that the newest image sensors are up to 15-percent smaller than the 0.8μm sensors of the same resolution and reduce the height of the camera module by up to 10 percent. Smaller form factors give more flexibility to manufacturers for added features and more streamlined designs.

Samsung has used its advanced ISOCELL Plus and Smart-ISO technologies, which the company says it especially optimized for 0.7μm. The company adds that ISOCELL Plus retains the received light while Smart-ISO makes full use of the incoming light by intelligently adjusting the ISO.

Samsung ISOCELL HM2

This is the third 108MP image sensor from Samsung after HMX and HM1. It features Super PD, a faster and more effective phase detecting autofocus solution, and comes with a nine-pixel binning technology as well as 3x lossless zoom.

ISOCELL GW3

This 64MP image sensor is optimized for mainstream devices and comes with Tetracell and Smart-ISO technologies. It also features gyro-based electronic image stabilization (EIS) for sharper still photos and steadier videos and supports video recording at up to 4K resolution at 60 frames-per-second (fps).

Smartphone shipments have been on the rise since the past few years, although it could see a decline this year because of COVID-19. The reason behind the increased demand is the new features and technology that phone makers keep introducing at regular intervals.

Thus, demand for several components has been on the rise since the past few years and it seems that image sensors have seen major growth. A report from Counterpoint Research says that demand for CMOS Image Sensors aka CIS for smartphones has increased about eightfold over the past decade. In the year 2019, it crossed the 4.5 billion units market.

Even though the smartphone shipments are expected to decline this year, the CMOS Image Sensor shipments will probably rise and have an all-time high shipment, hitting almost 5 billion units this year, claims Senior Analyst Ethan Qi.

This is likely because of the multi-camera setup and 3D sensing sensors for the smartphones that manufacturers have made a norm. Almost all smartphones getting launched these days have a multi-camera set up — the majority of which feature either the triple-camera sensor or quad-camera setup.

Counterpoint’s Component Tracker, each smartphone shipped in the first quarter of this year packed more than 3.5 image sensors on average. It also witnessed around 20 percent growth in the high- to mid-range smartphones’ quad-camera setup.

Given the current market conditions because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, smartphone shipments are expected to decline significantly. In fact, the report predicts a 10 percent year-on-year decline compared to last year.

South Korean giant Samsung has today announced its new 50-megapixel image sensor named Samsung ISOCELL GN1, making it the company’s first camera sensor to come with both Dual Pixel and Tetracell technologies.

The new Samsung ISOCELL GN1 is a 1/1.31-inch sensor that offers 1.2μm-sized pixels. It comes with 100 million phase-detection auto-focus (PDAF) agents. With both Dual Pixel and Tetracell technologies, the company seems to be prioritising high-resolution images and fast autofocus speed for smartphone users.

The sensor has Tetracell technology for 4-in-1 pixel binning, while the in-house ISOCELL Plus technology is said to keep pixel cross-talk in check, minimize optical loss, and produce more detailed images.

There’s also something called Smart-ISO which present to reduce noise and enhance the dynamic range. Other features include Real-time HDR, gyro-based image stabilization, 8K/30fps recording, and 400fps video at 1080p without autofocus and 240fps with autofocus support.

EDITOR’S PICK: Huawei sold over 15 million 5G smartphones, grabs 33 percent global 5G smartphone market

Samsung GN1 is capable of producing images up to 100MP resolution, thanks to the pixel binning technology. Explaining the working, Samsung says that Dual Pixel technology places two photodiodes side-by-side within a single pixel that can receive light from different angles for phase detection. With active pixels working as auto-focusing agents, the sensor can detect and focus onto a desired still or moving object from every corner in an instant, even in low-light conditions.

The camera sensor seems to be a rival the 48-megapixel Sony IMX689 image sensor which is present in several flagship smartphones such as OnePlus 8 Pro and OPPO Find X2 Pro. It remains to be seen if the company uses this sensor for its upcoming Note-series devices or the foldable smartphones.

The ISOCELL GN1 from Samsung will enter into mass production later this month so we expect smartphones packed with this new camera sensor to be available in the market from the second half of this year.

Alibaba has just announced that its DAMO institute has developed a new ISP process. This advancement will bring about a better vision technology for autonomous cars or self driving cars, especially during the night or in low light scenarios.

According to official notes, the new ISP will allow for greater safety for self driving cars since it improves upon the 3D noise reduction and image enhancement algorithms that were previously developed. In other words, this will allow the autonomous automotive to “see” clearer. At the moment, the process is already being utilized by unmanned logistics vehicles, while it’s on road tests that have already reached industry leading levels, according to the Alibaba institute.

For those unaware, ISP stands for Image Signal Process and is an integral part of a camera. Its primary function is to process and perform the arithmetic behind the signal output by the image sensor on the front, namely the CMOS. Through the ISP, a self driving vehicle can “see” the environment around it clearly. In simpler terms, it enables the car to understand and guide the car through the environment using the camera sensor.

According to the DAMO institute, the self developer ISP process has greatly been improved upon. Its image recognition capabilities are better during the day and night. Test results have revealed an improvement of more than 10 percent in object detection and recognition capabilities even during the night. The range has also been improved and the sensor now trumps the industry’s current mainstream processors.

Earlier today (24th March 2020), a new leak revealed certain details regarding the upcoming Honor 30S. The smartphone is one of the latest device that will be launched by the Huawei subsidiary and will reportedly feature a custom large camera sensor.

According to the source, the image sensor on the Honor 30S has a size of 1/1.3 inch. This doesn’t sound particularly large but is bigger than what most smartphones arrive with. The larger size should in theory provide better low light photography considering more light can be captured by the bigger sensor. Unfortunately, the model name of the sensor is currently unknown, however, its pixel size is said to be 1.2μm.

Editor’s Pick: Infinix Hot 9 with punch-hole display, 16MP triple cameras and 5,000mAh battery unveiled

If the primary camera has a high megapixel count, then through pixel binning, it could potentially reach 2.4μm as well. Pixel binning is generally the combination of 4 pixels into one to increase the size. Thus, it may be similar to Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright HM1 sensor, which is found on the 108 megapixel Galaxy S20 Ultra. Although, the megapixel count of the Honor 30S’s image sensor isn’t that high, with the leaked information showing just 52 megapixels.

Unfortunately, finer details are unknown and this is just a leak at the end of the day. So take this report with a grain of salt. Since it has yet to be confirmed, it does leave a possibility of the new sensor actually making an appearance. This would all but benefit the Chinese company’s upcoming Honor 30S launch. We will be covering the event so stay tuned.

OmniVision, a known brand that manufactures image sensors for smartphone cameras, has just unveiled its latest sensor that rivals South Korean giant, Samsung. At CES 2020, the company showcased the OV48C, which is a unique 48 megapixel camera sensor.

The OV48C from OmniVision technically has the same size as Samsung’s 108 megapixel sensor; however, it differs by keeping the resolution at 48 megapixel. This is done to accommodate its larger 1.2um pixels against Samsung’s 0.8um pixels.

Furthermore, the OmniVision sensor has a 4 cell color filter (Quad Bayer) that outputs full resolution images at either 48 megapixels or use pixel binning for 12 megapixel images. The latter effectively makes the pixel size twice as large, about 2.4um pixels.

In terms of videography, the OV48C image sensor can output 8K videos without binning and 4K videos at 60fps (Frame per Second). It also supports slow motion videos at 240fps on 1080p resolution or 360fps on 720p resolution. Notably, the new OmniVision sensor features PureCel Pus technology as well, or in other words, an OmniVision version of Samsung’s ISOCELL technology.

The OV48C is also capable of staggered HDR (i.e, multi-shot high dynamic range) and thanks to its on-chip dual conversion, it can further reduce noise in captured shots. Earlier today, the samples shots from the sensor were made available and it begs the question of when will we see the sensor on a smartphone? And, which smartphone manufacturer is going to adopt it first?

While Sony’s smartphones have not been performing well in sales, there’s one market where the company has been on top — camera sensors. Today, the Japan-based company has announced a new imaging sensor — Sony IMX586, which supports resolution of 48 effective megapixels, which Sony says is the highest in the industry for smartphones.

The IMX586 image sensor, made for the smartphones and other portable devices, is claimed to have the world’s smallest pixel size of 0.8μm, making it possible to pack 48 effective megapixels onto a 1/2-type unit.

Further, it comes integrated with Sony’s exposure control technology and signal processing functionality directly into the image sensor. This enables real-time output with a much better dynamic range that is four times greater than conventional units.

The new sensor also uses the Quad Bayer color filter array, where adjacent 2×2 pixels come in the same color, which allows for a higher sensitivity shooting. The sensor can also be devised to use signals from four adjacent pixels during low light, resulting in increased sensitivity. The company is promising that the Sony IMX586 will provide brighter images with lower noise regardless of the lighting conditions.

In a statement, Sony said:

This product was designed and manufactured with techniques that improve light collection efficiency and photoelectric conversion efficiency over conventional products, resulting in the world’s first 0.8 μm pixel size, with both high sensitivity and high saturation signal level.

It is also capable of recording full frame at 30 frames per second and can also record 4K videos (4096×2160) at 90 frames per second. Currently, all the major flagship smartphones in the market are capable of recording 4K videos at 60 frames per second.
