The Battle Of Mega Pixels: The Cost Of Hard & Software?
I have used a lot of gadgets and Mobile devices in my journey as a content creator, a lot of brands I've bought through recommendation or sheer hype from marketing or just from looking at numbers online. In this video, I discussed the brand of phones I've used in making videos and taking pictures for my blog and how they were flawed. Eventually, I came to know about Samsung.
I talked about my experience using a Samsung device and how the brand itself invests a lot in the software especially the lens and how this impacts the resolution of the videos and images in general. Then I talked about how this is very different from iPhone. iPhones are majorly dependent on their software rather than hardware. However regular people would think 102MP is better than 12MP however, the latter might just do better. I talked about preferences.
A lot of people would shoot with iPhones because they would prefer the quality, some others might just simply prefer iOS simply because they feel it's superior to android.
In this video, I talked about preferences and how the style of content might just determine which device is more suitable.

Megapixels are just one part of the photography and videography story as you've said. Even most high end DSLR cameras are 12mp or at most 28mp. For those high end cameras, the sensor size is a huge factor and for devices like our smartphones, computational photography and videography can mean a lot, and most companies don't have enough r&d funds to invest in this as much as big players such as Samsung, Apple and Google does.
Phones like Xiaomi always boast of having 102MP on their phones meanwhile it's all a hoax and marketing gimmicks. I think Samsung has the resources, hence most of their flagship products are always good. I think people are in love with numbers. 12MP on the paper doesn't seem attractive.
Exactly! If you can even make it 200mp. Most person will be sold easily
I guess it's one of the reasons why people should be educated in this aspect. But at the end of the day, ignorance is always taken advantage of.
