One of the most important aspects of a new smartphone for some people is the resolution of their cameras. For photography lovers, we can currently find models with sensors up to 48MP. But, according to Qualcomm, we are close to starting to see devices with resolutions up to 4 times higher than this, with up to 192MP.
Processor Support
Qualcomm is a major manufacturer of processors that are present in many smartphones in the market. According to Judd Heape, who is senior director of Product Management for the company, these processors have support for cameras with resolution up to 192MP, far beyond what we currently find on the products. |
| Qualcomm processors already have support for cameras with resolution up to 192MP |
Qualcomm processors already have support for cameras with resolution up to 192MP And not just the newer processors like the Snapdragon 855, but also the intermediate processors like the Snapdragons 660 and the 670. This is interesting because not only the most powerful smartphones have the chance to offer cameras with higher resolutions, but also the more accessible ones . Another good part of the news is that nowadays most smartphones already have a processor from Qualcomm, from the most advanced, such as the Samsung Galaxy S10 in some markets, even more like the Moto G7. Obviously if manufacturers start to increase the resolution of their cameras, they will start at the top of the line, though.
When will we have 192MP cameras?
Juhh Heape says he expects smartphones with up to 100MP to be released later this year Juhh Heape says he expects smartphones with up to 100MP to be released later this year Despite this support, it is not expected that cameras of this size begin to appear very quickly. A resolution of 192MP is not something that will happen soon, as currently the highest resolution is 48MP. The good news, however, is that Judd Heape also commented that he expects smartphones with 64MP or even 100MP cameras to appear later this year.
