Confirmed: this is the first smartphone with a 200 MP camera!

The first smartphone with a gargantuan 200 MP large camera is on the way, this brand now confirms that it has this first.

In a market with a lot of competition it is a matter of bidding against each other. That is a good thing for the development of better devices. Because although it is often a way for manufacturers to show that you have technological gold in their hands, for the consumer a better device is always good news.

200 MP camera on smartphone

What benefits the consumer anyway: a better camera. In hard numbers, a giant of a camera is now on the way. The first 200 MP camera for a smartphone has been confirmed. The surprise is a little off due to leaks, but confirmation is always nice. The first smartphone with a 200 MP camera will be the Motorola ‘Frontier’.

Motorola Frontier

Motorola confirms this with the above image on Weibo† We understand if your Chinese isn’t perfect, but translated it means something like ‘a new era with 2 million pixels’. And it is therefore in line with previous leaks: in March we were able to show a leak of a Motorola smartphone with a 200 MP camera. That turned out to be close to the truth.

Samsung

Incidentally, the lens is not from Motorola, but from Samsung. They previously announced the ISOCELL HP1 Image Sensor. Due to the leak, we now also know with some certainty what the camera island will look like. As you can see, the camera island is the size of half the phone and the lens is almost the same size.

Better?

Well, hard megapixels are always good, but what does a 200 MP camera mean? That should of course be apparent. The best smartphone cameras are not only good in terms of megapixels, the photos are also ‘polished’ with software. That should also be in order to make a 200 MP camera a great camera. We’re going to see it with the Motorola ‘Frontier’ (a code name), which will be Motorola’s new flagship in 2022.
