Well, do not have the chips's dataheet, but here is their press release:

Well megapixels is directly related to resolution

1M pixels could be 1000 x 1000 pixels (for example) or 2000 x 500, etc So the more pixels the more resolution. This leaves out the 3 pixels RGB trio, so divide by 3 perhaps. The amount of pixels has nothing to do with frame-rate.

Lots of pixels is nice, on my Xiaomi I can select in photo mode 48Mp, if I take a picture in that mode I can zoom in to the finest detail in the resulting picture, is cool, use it a lot.

It also has a slow video mode where the framerate is higher during recording, so you record more pictures per unit of time (higher framerate) and still get a smooth video playback of fast events,

** The LCD sensor is one thing, the lens in front of it another.

Most mobile phones have "very ordinary" non focusing lenses. While even pocket digital cameras have vastly better ones. My $100 Canon has an excellent, motor driven lens with only a 12MP LCD sensor. In decent light, pic quality is fantastic.

It even has an optical viewfinder that zooms for daylight stuff.

Yes, I have 2 Canon cameras, very good indeed, still use one every now and then, but last year I bought the cheapest Xiaomi smartphone and expected no high quality pictures... However I am really impressed with it.

Things are moving the way as everybody and their cat seems to have a smartphone to ever better smartphone cameras, I have no idea how those guys do the lenses, but they are good.

Only problem is that my Canons use a simple SDcard I can plug into the laptop in seconds, can edit and upload to the net and for the Xiaomi I need to USB connect and run funny scripts to get a picture of it... Removing the micro (nano?) card is a no-no..

That's only because you ain't real bright, boy.

Yes, way overpriced if you ask me, I never had an apple product. I do not like their latest looking for hashes of offensive pictures you may have on your phone. More and more big brothel.

True, needs to install 'adb' on your linux computer..

On xiaomi select settings aditional settings developer options usb debugging

Seems like gross overkill for a handheld phone. Enormous files.

My oldish Samsung 10 can do 16MP, way more pix than are useful.

I am a long time photographer. Anyways, take a pic in that high resolution of some board,

Then look a the picture and scroll to every detail in it,

I took a pic of a far way insect in my garden, could hardly see it, kept the phone steady against the window glass. Easy to find and identify it in the picture. We had an invasion of nice butterflies here part 2 weeks.

Now we have an invasion of snails.... Have to watch where you step.

That's one issue: hand-held phones aren't very steady. I suppose a bit of gyro-assisted DSP could help some, but steadiness is still a limit on resolution. I reduce most pics to around 1Kx1K anyhow.

We have our seasonal attack butterflies. I think the skunks and squirrels eat the snails... haven't seen many lately.

Les escargots, c'est bon avec du beurre à l´ail.

No foolin. I have fond memories of Roger la Grenouille on the left bank. It's impossible to get fresh snails here.

Not just enormous files, wasted data space. At this sensor size anything over 12 megapixels is a waste of data space. 12 is overkill actually, 5 is fine but OK, let it be 12 (my zoom camera has 12 but a larger, 2/3" sensor and the pixels are still too small). The camera makers know that of course; I don't know why they go to these pixel counts, either there is some technological problem just making the pixels larger instead of concatenating neighbour pixels or they do it just because they have been told so by the marketeers. Or both.

More like markettering though, e.g. Sony have a camera with a 36x24 mm sensor which has < 20 MP, may be 12, don't remember now, it is unbelievably fast (a guy in France posts bird photos made with one of these in the darkest forests, no other sensor could do what his does).

Is it a phone, a camera, or just a toy that's handy for tracking and monitoring?

It's not like you can pick and choose . . . .

I wish they'd just make up their minds.

What a strange and stupid thing to say.

Whoopie doo-ish... child-ish.

Retarded Opinion-ish.

You show signs of not even knowing what the word 'useful' means.

What strange creatures stupid, self retarded Trumpanzee idiots are.

You are obviously 100% clueless about what image capture is all about. Not to mention image stabilization. So just make shit up. Real cute. Almost as bad as Trump.

Come to Washington, and do the Cape Alava hike; snails from the marsh on the beach approach can be boiled in Pacific seawater at the shore.

LOL, clueless, yeah. I have lost count of the graphics controllers I have designed and all the image processing I have written my dear, think before you post. And no, image stabilization has rarely anything to do with sensor resolution or anything in the sensor, it is typically done within the lens, mechanically, based on acceleration sensors in the camera.
