![]() Pixel binning also opens up new options for high resolution 4K and 8K video. It's a key foundation to the effort to give smartphones zoom abilities like traditional camera lenses. Cameras can crop in on the central portion of the image to zoom into more distant subjects. ![]() But the HP2 adds some other tricks the HP1 lacks. However, the HP3 uses smaller pixels that, while minimizing camera bulk, aren't as good at capturing light in the first place. The two levels of pixel binning were available on the 200-megapixel HP3, announced in 2022. And when shooting at the full 200-megapixel resolution, Samsung uses AI technology to help render the finest details. The South Korean electronics giant's sensor can gather light more effectively in the first place, boost high dynamic range (HDR) photos to cope better with scenes with dark and bright elements, the company said. The HP2 is a bit smaller than its HP1 predecessor, but each pixel is more efficient at gathering light, an engineering direction that enables higher resolution photos and a smaller camera bump. The HP2, though, brings new methods to counteract those problems and make the most of each photon of light, Samsung said. And they suffer blown-out highlights in bright areas like skies. They lose detail in shadowed parts of a scene. ![]() That means shots taken in low light are marred by noise speckles. Increasing sensor resolution means each pixel on the sensor is smaller, and for a given technology, smaller pixels aren't able to gather light as well. The addition of the larger, 200-megapixel sensor in the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra "will provide substantial improvements in both low-light camera settings and resolution, offering advanced features that are still trading as significant points of differentiation in a sea of upgrade plainness amongst most premium competitor phones," said ABI Research analyst David McQueen. ![]() Samsung, which manufactures its own image sensors, is now also competitive, in part by packing multiple cameras onto its phones. More than a decade ago, Apple iPhones helped convince many people that their phone was the only camera they needed most of the time, but Google's image processing smarts helped its Pixel phones surpass Apple in some ways. There aren't any HP2 samples to test yet, but Samsung's engineering improvements have a track record of improving image quality to address what's arguably the most competitive aspect of smartphones today.
