Rumors about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 series are heating up. The future looks pretty bright for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra flagship, which is ready to feature a massive 200MP camera. Now a new leak suggests that the specific camera sensor the phone will use has not been released by the company.
This differs from earlier rumors that Samsung may use its ISOCELL HP 1 or HP 3 sensor for the 200MP sensor. Samsung introduces ISOCELL HP 3 sensor. But recently, news broke that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra could skip this new camera.
Now, a tweet from reliable leaker Ice Universe claims that the S23 Ultra will feature a 200MP camera, but that sensor has yet to be announced.
This could be good news for the upcoming Samsung flagships. Samsung’s HP 3 is a mid-range sensor, while the HP 1 is a larger, more refined sensor expected to debut on Motorola’s X30 Pro or Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. In order to do better than the competition, Samsung may have another sensor planned for its own flagship. While it’s hard to guess the specs of the sensor, it could also mean the new sensor will outperform Motorola’s 200MP phone.
More megapixels = better phone?
Motorola may be the first company to launch a phone with a 200MP camera. To get to 200MP, Motorola recently posted a photo taken on its X30 Pro. According to Ice Universe’s tweet, the Motorola 200MP photo was taken with pixel binning enabled.
Pixel binning is great for phones that are steadily climbing the megapixel ladder. This means that 200MP footage can easily be compressed into a super high resolution 20MP footage.
200MP in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or Motorola X30 Pro is nothing new. Over the past few years, companies have been upping their megapixels. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has a 108MP main camera, the Pixel 6 has a 50MP main sensor, and the iPhone 14 Pro has a 48MP main camera. But while more megapixels might be great for marketing a new phone, does that necessarily mean better images?
The answer is – not necessarily. More megapixels means sharper images, not really “better” images. Pixel size is important because it determines how much data the sensor can receive, but other factors are equally important. This is why 108MP photos are not necessarily better than 12MP photos. After all, the 12MP iPhone 13 Pro Max currently tops our list of the best camera phones.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 has a top-notch 108MP camera that usually takes stunning photos — but there’s still some leeway for tweaking in terms of color and handling challenging photography scenarios. According to leaks, Samsung has a new sensor for a 200MP camera on the S23 Ultra, and it appears to have big plans for its flagship phone, which will be launched early next year.
