Best 108MP Rear Camera Smartphone


The year 2019 has proved to be quite special for smartphone technology.  Apart from full-view display, more RAM and storage combination, in-display fingerprint sensor, the camera department has also seen a lot of new upgrades.  Moving from the first 48MP SonyIMX586 sensor to then 64MP Samsung GW1 or Sony IMX686 sensor, Samsung has now introduced 108MP camera sensor. 

The 108MP camera sensor also works on pixel binning technology, but for now it is being used as a premium tech by only a few brands, with the first name being Xiaomi.  Xiaomi has recently launched 3 smartphones with 108MP camera sensors, while Samsung and some other brands have joined the competition, so let's take a look at some of the available and upcoming smartphones with 108MP cameras:

Samsung has named this latest camera sensor as ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor, which is first used by Xiaomi in its phones.  The sensor uses Tetracell technology and with pixel binning technology gives you an effective 27MP image output.

Samsung has claimed here that the large sensor size helps in capturing very good details even in extreme lighting conditions.  108MP is clearly a fairly large pixel resolution camera setup but it is not always necessary to have a megapixel and the output is also better.

Apart from this, this sensor also gives you the support of 6k video recording at 30fps, so it is going to be very good for the video creator.
