Samsung's new 108MP smartphone camera

Samsung has announced its 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX, the first mobile image sensor to go beyond 100 million pixels.

The sensor, which was developed in collaboration with Xiaomi, will also be able to record video at resolutions of up to 6K at 30 FPS.
 
Looks like this sensor will produce 27 MP images, using 2x2 pixel binning on that large sensor.

The dynamic range should be good, and the camera bump on the phone may be large.
 
I would take better low light performance any day over more unnecessary megapixels.
Low light performance on phone camera's is already excellent,my s10 for example can see much better than the naked eye can in dark scenes.

I feel that optical zoom is the next frontier that needs to be mastered now and high MP sensors can do that.

That's how all cameras work. The missing subpixels are then interpolated to form 108MP.
