Turns out the Galaxy S23 Ultra's big new camera sensor ... isn't actually bigger?
is the newest, most premium Android phone that you can buy, at least today. It has the fastest Snapdragon for Galaxy mobile platform, a whopping 200MP camera, and improvements throughout that make it a worthy upgrade, right? In fact, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is far from the upgrade that specs suggest, and it misses out on some easy opportunities to improve over last year.
What does being ‘for Galaxy’ get you? Not very much, it turns out. Inside the Snapdragon CPU are eight processing cores. The largest of these, the so-called ARM Cortex X-3 core, is five percent faster on a Galaxy phone. One core. Five percent.has over other phones with the same generation of Qualcomm chips. Samsung gets an extra five percent on the fastest core. Is that a noticeable difference? Don’t make me laugh.
Besides the new Qualcomm chipset, the other major upgrade on the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the new 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP2 sensor. Last year’s sensor was only 108MP, and the iPhone 14 Pro can only manage a paltry 48MP. There’s no way a 48MP sensor can compete with a massive 200MP monster, right?is the same size as the sensor on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, if not a tiny bit larger. The pixels themselves are very different, but the sensor inside the phone takes up the same space.
Think of collecting rain water. A sensor pixel collecting light is like a bucket collecting rain. If you want to collect rain in a patch of land, should you use 48 larger buckets, or 200 smaller buckets? It’s a complicated question that relies on many more factors than just the number of buckets, and it’s the same for counting megapixels.all have under three-quarters of an inch of internal space to give a camera sensor. That’s a tiny amount of land for those buckets to collect rain.
