  1. Actually this test's results should be like a curve, 1/2 mp camera phones are bs, then it goes up to 12mp and starts going down again, at this moment in history of course.

  2. many modern smartphone sensors are quad binned, and often you cant save an image with all four pixels in a bin. For example, you cant output a 48 or 50 MP image with any of, most are limited to 12 or 13mp as max resolution

  3. Tbh your poll wasn’t as scientific as I hoped. You guys should hire a statistician or two to refine the methodology. There are so many factors that this blind test doesn’t consider. It’s 1 photo for each category, people took the poll on different devices (phone is smaller so you probably won’t see as well as a tablet or computer), phones have slight angle differences, and more. I’d be really interested in next year’s done hopefully with some experts.

  4. Hello brother how are you I am from India my name is Sagar brother I am like your younger brother please gift me a mobile so that I can make new videos on youtube so that I can also move forward because I am a I am from poor family, I am also interested in YouTube but I do not have a good mobile, so please friend, please help me, please gift me a good mobile with good camera quality, I hope that God fulfills all your wishes. complete

  5. That's misleading Marques. Votes per Maga pixel just emphasize the difference!!!! That's like saying votes per pixel of screen resolution. Of course the 720p would have a good chance of beating the 1440p because it would need significantly less votes to win.

  6. So right now I agree somewhat, but with better data processing and stuff more megapixel could lead to more data. It could also lead to higher and better digital zoom, image stabilization, motion detection and accuracy and more

  7. Could peoples monitors even display the quality difference of those pics? Feel like the result could be wildly different if the photos were viewed irl…

  8. Surely it’s a mixture of lens quality and the quality of the megapixels put into phones not just the amount of megapixels (it does have an effect if done correctly) and most of all the software behind the camera

  9. This chart looks weird! Why is that? Dependent variables go on the y-axis not the x-axis!
    Dependent variable = megapixels
    Independent variable = number of votes

  10. I always thought 12 megapixel is the norm or the only thing does best for video/camera use. I always find it weird why do some phones always levelling up the megapixels. Like for what? Budget phone market? Shouldn't call it budget when its qualities are all so overused and so degrading and almost doing it without any effort. Budget or high quality, put work to it. It almost led me to fall into that trap thinking, if I pay more for this high number of megapixel and avoided the 12, I should be getting picture perfect quality. I am still using a 4 year old iphone xs. It takes even greater pictures than all these so called budget and high quality phones (well, some high quality phones) No one should be paying anything above $1k for just a device that works like every phones. This market sucks. Their minds sucks. This is getting stupid

  11. Megapixel count does not matter [as the main reason why you should buy a camera phone.]
    A phone with the software of Google Pixel 6A with the hardware of an S22 Ultra, however, would be a killer.

  12. Nothing is scientific about asking people that have no idea what they should be looking for to analyze photos. If you want to understand what the megapixel count is doing for the photos, take a wide shot and then crop in again and again until the image falls apart. The higher megapixel sensors will have more information at tighter crops. This is not hard to show and every camera reviewer does this. If you want to review a smart phone camera, watch how actual camera reviewers review cameras and then do that.

  13. My assessment is that Image optimisation models can take a noisy image and make it look good, but if the image already looks good then it would end up adding noise.
