| More megapixels means more data, more data means more storage |
Although a 106-megapixel camera smartphone is available in the market, the iPhone still uses that 12-megapixel camera. The same goes for Google's Pixel series smartphones. The main reason for this is that 12 megapixels is ideal for the camera sensor of a smartphone.
There are several reasons for this. There is the matter of
storage. There is also a matter of time required in image processing. Brands
also have to keep in mind to take good pictures in low light. Other than that,
there are not enough devices to watch high-resolution pictures or videos. It
also has fewer direct issues like battery life and camera apps.
More megapixels means
more data, more data means more storage
The more megapixels the camera has, the more data the
smartphone has to process. This slows down the phone, draining the battery
faster. And it takes more time to process pictures taken in night mode or
portrait mode.
Apart from that, more megapixel images have higher
resolution. This increases the size of the image file. Memory card consumes
more space. Again, uploading somewhere costs more bandwidth. Not all phones
have the opportunity to add additional memory card slots.
Do more megapixels
mean better pictures?
The three lenses on the back of the iPhone 12 Pro are 12
megapixels
There is less opportunity to see more megapixel pictures
Another fact is important to keep in mind here. No matter
how many megapixels we take pictures of, we rarely get a chance to see them. If
you have an Ultra HD resolution TV in the house, you can see a picture or video
of 6.3 megapixels. That means a 12-megapixel camera is more than enough for
viewing on almost all types of displays. If you want to see the image of 12
megapixel camera in full resolution on Ultra HD display, you have to zoom in.
Video of Ultra HD Four resolution can be seen on the
smartphone. Older phones do not have that opportunity. And 12 megapixels is
more than enough to capture Ultra HD video.
Many people pay attention to the camera when buying an
iPhone. Although it is 12 megapixels, it is not a complaint
With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SOC chipset, the
opportunity to capture video has just arrived. However, the display is not yet
available to watch the video. And if you record video in 8K resolution, there
will be a big storage crisis.

Resolution is not
everything:
Camera resolution is not everything. There are many more
issues. The iPhone 12, which came on the market in 2015, was the first camera
with a 12-megapixel sensor. That is it now. But if you compare the pictures
taken with the iPhone 12 Pro camera with the iPhone 8S, you will find the
different day and night. It has been possible to improve the hardware and
software.
Software is very
important
Lately, the phrase 'AI camera' is often heard. Whether it is
Google, Apple or other organizations, the final quality of the image taken on
the smartphone depends on the image processing software.

heard
It is important to keep in mind the size of the sensor
The problem with increasing the number of megapixels by
keeping the size of the sensor the same is that the size of each pixel becomes
smaller. And if the pixels are small, it can hold less light, there is a risk
of increasing the noise.
On the other hand, the larger the size of the sensor, the
more light can enter the camera to take pictures. And the more light, the
better the picture. Because, this light fixes the exposure balance, dynamic
range, and even sharpness of the camera.
For now, 12 megapixels is enough
