Recently, some smartphone manufacturers have introduced their devices with cameras that offer high resolutions such as 64 MP and 108 MP. However, Honor, the sub-brand of Huawei, says it will focus on increasing the size of the pixel, not the resolution, on the next generation phones. Kailang Shen, Director of the Honor Marketing Department, said in a share from Weibo that the brand will not follow other device manufacturers promoting 108 MP camera phones. “It is difficult for the pixel on a 100 MP sensor to exceed 0.8 μm (microns). In Shen’s share, Sony and we believe that a pixel size of 1μm or larger can ensure the flagship sensitivity and image quality. Our company will remain firmly attached to the large pixel camera route in 2020.” . ” gave expressions. Honor will care about large pixels, not high resolution Large pixels provide more light, higher image quality and less noise than small pixels. On the other hand, higher camera resolution offers more details in the photos. Honor’s 5G flagship models Honor V30 and V30 Pro combine the 40 MP main camera with a 1μm pixel size. This results in higher resolution, image quality and better lighting. As a result, Honor argues that the pixel size is more important than the resolution of the sensor. Therefore, even if the 108 MP resolution alone does not make much difference, large opposing pixels will be greatly beneficial for image quality. Large pixel-size cameras also perform better in low light due to better light sensitivity, assuming all other factors such as lens and image processing are kept constant.
