Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra With 200MP Camera Rumored to Launch Months After iPhone 14 Pro With 48MP Camera

Man, that doesn't at all sound like someone lamenting how far behind Apple has been these past few years....
No substitute for my Fuji GFX-50R. Just use phone camera for non serious photography
Fakest BS pixels every. Physics is physics and no lens of that size can resolute 200MP on a tiny camera sensor. None.
I suspect the 48 MP camera in the iPhone 14 Pro will be improved over the 12 MP camera in the iPhone 13 Pro, and that's what matters, regardless if you think it's stupid or not.
I also suspect the default output would be 12 MP, so the image size wouldn't even change much.
Technology marches on.
Idk how I feel about this, but to everyone saying apple is behind Samsung, the iPhone 13 pro has a measurably superior sensor.

Depends what you mean by “improved”. Most of the ability in the 13 Pro is through computational photography. If you shoot in raw on it the output is garbage. I bought a new DSLR recently after realising the 13 Pro didn’t touch a 15 year old DSLR. Sensor pixels are too small already!
When there actually ARE alternatives I might consider them. Stealing designs and racing to be first to market with half-baked features doesn't fool me into thinking that is a viable alternative. And as long as the other options include treating my personal info as a commodity, it's a hard pass.
As I said. Tim Apple appreciates your blind loyalty.
Cameras are good enough. Battery is more important for them. And GOS is not a feature.
Samsung is in the final stage of developing a 200-megapixel camera for use on its next-generation Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone, which is expected to be announced in early 2023, according to South Korea's ETNews.
By comparison, the iPhone 13 Pro has a 12-megapixel main camera, but the iPhone 14 Pro is widely rumored to feature an upgraded 48-megapixel camera.
Like the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which has a 108-megapixel main camera, the S23 Ultra would likely use pixel binning, which merges data from multiple smaller pixels on the camera's image sensor into one "super pixel." Pixel binning is beneficial because simply increasing a smartphone camera's megapixels while maintaining the same image sensor size results in smaller pixels, which generally capture less light.
On the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the main camera shoots 12-megapixel photos by default, with a toggle available in the camera app for shooting 108-megapixel photos. The default setting is ideal for most users, as high-resolution photos can have very large file sizes.
iPhone 14 Pro models would likely utilize pixel binning as well. In a research note last year, tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said iPhone 14 Pro models may support both 48-megapixel and 12-megapixel output as a result. Kuo also said the 48-megapixel camera would enable iPhone 14 Pro models to support 8K video recording, up from 4K currently.

Nonsense. All camera manufacturers are increasing resolution of their sensors. If anything, the resolution is even more important for the phone cameras. Their sensors/pixels are small. They rely on computational photography to deal with it. There is a reason why Apple is following Samsung in this direction (with two...three year lag).
If there is one thing Samsung should copy from Apple it's the iPhone fantastic battery optimisation features.
Of course everyone wants longer battery life. As for these pixel wars I'm over it!

Well, it's pretty much all that differentiates them tbh. I have an SE2, which is absolutely perfectly functional as a phone/messaging/browsing device. And I am seriously thinking of upgrading to a 13 Pro just for the better camera. As they say, the best camera for the job is the one you have with you. And there is very little else that differentiates the SE2 from the 13 Pro, apart from the prestige of the sexy top model, of course.
Wow really? Are the low-light Pixel pics really that much better than a 13 Pro?
it remains to be seen how good the 14 pro camera will be but at present the s22 ultra has a better camera than the 13 pro max. iPhone going to 48mp will certainly help with image quality but that will be more due to the new 1/1.3 sensor.
this s23 ultra 200mp could have an even bigger 1/1.2 inch sensor
but it doesn't at present. 13 pro max camera is behind the competition as it stands.
that's simply false, the fact the iPhone is behind in photography a lot of it is down to only having 12mp options. pixel Binning will be a big step forward on the iPhone
1/1.3 is the rumoured sensor for the 14 pro line
1/1.2 I believe for this sensor on the ultra could be 1/1.1 given the size
got to be the biggest myth ever that apple makes everything perfect after releasing it late. not sure why people believe this rubbish to be fair. They do make some things really good but others not so much.
