Mobile games. What are you playing?

It is mad. Remember when digital cameras first came out and the resolution was awful. 640x480 for many. And the first 5MP seemed brilliant. Then everyone was obsessed with trying to release new cameras with higher MP. Just as camcorders had been obsessed with high zooms of 300x.

The MP limit could get even higher, but there is a compromise. As the MP increases the size of each pixel shrinks and so each sensor takes in less light, making it less sensitive and increasing noise within the image.

That's why many caneras in both smartphones and full DSLRs are not really high MP but more likely 18-24MP. The sensors are bigger and able to capture more light with less noise, so creating fast not accurate and better images.

But in a mobile it is useful to have a high MP sensor so you can digitally zoom into the image. So it could save f.ex 18MP images from the far higher 108MP sensor without having to digitally zoom.

But not for a couple of generations the higher model smartphones all now have multiple camera leneses. None has 4. One a higher MP telephoto lens. Another is a real optical 5x zoon lens, another is a wideangle lens, and the final one is a macro for closeups. It's a great idea and solution to get the best images from all types of shot. And still amazing they can cram it all into a smartphone. You can craft some great looking images on smartphones these days. They will never quite match a full camera with proper lenses, but it's close.

I'm loving my 108MP Moto Edge 2.

Pictures are absolutely stunning for a Telephone affair....

108 on the Main (rear) Camera & 32MP on selfie camera (front).

The Moto Edge 3 Ultra has a 200MP rear camera & 60MP front.
