The gap between professional cameras and smartphonecameras is fast filling up, and 2023 looks like the year we see a major reshaping in this power struggle.
The steady decline in digital camera sales is barely a mystery. Mobile phones have largely replaced point-and-shoot cameras and are now coming after more expensive and professional-grade equipment. 2023 is set to witness various emerging trends that could result in mobile phones replacing DSLR cameras.
Even with a higher megapixel count, there are nuances. For instance, Samsung has been selling 108MP camera sensors for several years as part of its ISOCELL HM lineup, but every year there are two variations — one for mid-rangers and another for flagships. The difference between the two lies in the physical size of the actual sensor.
What makes the 1-inch sensor a big deal is the fact that it has been one of the standard sizes for compact camera sensors for several decades. In his video, YouTuber MKBHD debunks myths about the 1-inch sensor and how it’s physically much smaller — the diagonal of the sensor measures about two-thirds of an inch.
But while Chinese phone companies experimenting with a 1-inch sensor seems exciting, the only way it becomes mainstream is when more brands globally, such as Google and Samsung, bring it to the fore. Luckily, a rumor dating to October 2022 states that a third phone in the Pixel 7 series — namely, Pixel 7 Ultra — could feature a 1-inch sensor. Meanwhile, Samsung already appears to have invested its stakes in a 200MP sensor.
Because of the remarkably high megapixel count, the Samsung sensors support 16-in-1 pixel binning , resulting in 12.5MP images. As we noted above, bigger pixels allow more light to be captured by the sensor, resulting in better picture quality. Besides the Galaxy S23 Ultra, more phones, including a Nokia X60 Pro, have been rumored to sport 200MP cameras, and we expect Samsung’s adoption to diffuse this trend through different price categories.
Tecno is not the first or the only brand to experiment with retractable lenses. Both Oppo and Xiaomi have been working on their own concept devices with retractable zoom lenses — although none has made it to the market on a smartphone you can buy. With underdog brands such as Tecno launching commercially available devices and brands such as Samsung, Huawei, and Honor already overusing telephoto and periscopic lens modules, moving lenses has the potential to become a rage in 2023.
You may look at it as a security guard outside a football stadium ensuring attendees only enter in straight lines, so there’s no chaos or wastage of time and energy. In addition to its role in optimizing camera-related tasks, the Vivo V1+ chip also helps with processes related to the phone’s display, such as optimizing the color output and maintaining a high output frame rate.
