By the looks of it, the world of smartphone cameras could soon be upended. Motorola has teased a forthcoming model with a hulking 200-megapixel main camera.
According to the brand, the unnamed model will set a “new benchmark for image experience,” echoing the marketing speak of Xiaomi with its first-ever Leica smartphone (which the Chinese phone maker says will spark “a new era of mobile imaging”). Both competing smartphones are set for July debuts, so it’ll be interesting to see how they’ll match up to each other.
Motorola announced the technology in a new visual posted on its Chinese social network account on Weibo. The image shows a camera lens and teases “unprecedented detail and insight.”
The rumor mill purports that this smartphone will be the Motorola Frontier, which is believed to feature a curved 6.67-inch pOLED display, 144Hz refresh rate, and a 60-megapixel front-facing camera, as well as run on the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 Plus processor.
It is said that Samsung’s 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP1 sensor will be built into the Motorola smartphone. Aside from producing 200-megapixel pictures, this technology is capable of converting units of 16 pixels into individual pixels in low-light conditions, yielding 12.5-megapixel photographs in the dark.
