When it comes to smartphone photography, Samsung has taken a different approach than competitors Apple and Google. The South Korean giant’s current highest-end flagship, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, comes with the new ISOCELL Bright HM3 108MP sensor. Although it’s a significant improvement over Galaxy S20 Ultra’s 108MP camera, it hasn’t really put the S21 Ultra ahead of other top-rated camera phones of 2021.
Apple and Google focus more on the software side of things instead of engaging in megapixel wars, and going forward, Samsung may adopt the same strategy.
Venerated industry insider Ice Universe says that Samsung is now going to take a more rational approach to smartphone sensors instead of blindly chasing megapixels. No other details were provided.
I heard some news that Samsung smartphones are actively changing, in terms of sensors. It will return to rationality, rather than blindly big numbers.

It’s not known if the South Korean giant’s new rumored direction will affect the development of the aforementioned 600MP and 200MP units.
