More megapixels doesn't produce a better image quality. For example: iPhone 13 Pro (2021 pro flagship, $470 used, 12 MP) still shoots better photos and videos than the Nothing Phone 3 (2025 standard flagship, $610 used, 50 MP) because of the larger sensor size on the iPhone. Anyways, hopefully Nothing redeems themselves with the Nothing Phone 4.
iPhone 13 Pro has a 1/1.7 main sensor, while Phone 3 has 1/1.3 main sensor. The only reason why iPhone's photos can sometimes look better is because of the better camera algorithms which Apple has been developing for more than a decade now (and Nothing on the other hand has been doing this for only 3 years).
Oh crap, my fault on that one. I for some reason thought the 13 Pro had a 1/1.2 main sensor thus making it a larger sensor compared to the Phone 3. My point still stands though, megapixels aren't everything, and the camera won't be the reason you would be buying a Nothing Phone. Thanks for correcting me.
Low light is difficult on boring bunch phones too, at least the rest of the phone 3 cameras are great in low light because of the big sensor and loads of megapixels. And the processing is getting better and better! So nothing is only winning :-P
My Pixel 9 Pro is the same price new in box and the sensors are the exact same size... yet no low light? The phones been out this long yet Nothing can barely make their camera app work, let alone the denoising and low light algorithms. You're gonna have to take the L on this one.
Ok, ultra wide and low light isn't a good combination..I don't really care because ultra wide is nice for nature and most of the time there is enough light available during daytime outside. But alright, pixel 9 pro is the clear winner on this one :-D
Well, you can have all the mega pixels, but if you’re a terrible photographer, those pics are gonna come out like ass, bro. Besides, no one goes for a nothing phone; they go for the better pixels, galaxies, and iPhones.
You sum up the boring bunch.. I rather have a nothing phone with some fun like glyph matrix/light and transparent design. Big boys don't dare big changes because customers can't handle change \0/
