    Will we ever see larger sensors in phones with a reasonable number of megapixels?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 02:02 PM PDT

    Unfortunately it seems we have entered an era megapixel wars.

    While having a large number of megapixels is great for marketing, it results in tiny photosites and hurts low light performance.

    Pixel binning, while great in theory, is not efficient enough in real world usage.

    If Samsung had instead chose 12mp instead of 108mp for its 1/1.33" sensor, it would get similar image quality to an rx100 cropped down from 20mp to 12mp.

    EDIT> Here is an example of the power of large pixels. This is from a Canon 1/1.8" sensor with 2MP, making the photosites around the same size as those on my D850, which is a full frame sensor with 45MP.

    Enable "Force x4 MSAA" in Developer Mode if you have jaggy edges in Android Games.

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 12:14 PM PDT

    I noticed with some games like The Sims Mobile or most racing games that they look pretty okay but anti aliasing is almost not there. Since I've enabled this, my games look much better. It will cost a bit more performance but it's not really noticeable.

    Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Build Number > tap 7 times on this and you've enabled Developer Mode.

    Scroll down till you see "Force x4 MSAA" and turn it on.

    Just noticed this change five minutes ago. I didn't seem to find anything about it in news articles so here's a screenshot:
