This Photo Was Taken By Samsung's 200MP Sensor And It's Massive
Samsung has teased its new 200-megapixel image sensor in a unique way that shows off its insanely high resolution. Alongside Sony and Omnivision, Samsung is one the most notable manufacturers of smartphone image sensors, and many of its offerings are found on Android smartphones across the price spectrum. The company announced its new 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP1 image sensor last September after weeks of rumors and speculation in the media.
While Samsung is yet to reveal any information about which companies will launch smartphones with the new sensor, Motorola is expected to be the first to use it in one of its upcoming smartphones.

There are rumors that next year's Galaxy S23 could also ship with the new sensor, although there's no confirmation about that just yet.
