Which camera wins: big sensor or high resolution?
To help play catch-up, smaller sensors use a technique called pixel binning to group the data from individual pixels together so they act as one big pixel in low-light conditions. In bright light, they act as individual pixels — since there’s enough light to go around, smaller pixels work fine. It’s kind of a have-your-cake-and-eat-it scenario: you get better low-light performance and the flexibility of a higher-resolution sensor.
Full-size crops from the Vivo X90 Pro and Samsung S23 Ultra . Both taken at ISO 1600 and 1/20sec exposure. Each was processed from a single-frame RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw with noise reduction set to zero. Night mode is all well and good if your subject isn’t moving, but the real test for a smartphone camera is with a moving subject in crappy lighting — kind of a white whale for mobile imaging. That’s where the bigger sensor format could make a real difference.
Sadly, we have not found our white whale just yet. The Vivo X90 Pro and S23 Ultra both very much like to stay at 1/120sec shutter speed when I’m taking pictures of my toddler in the standard camera mode. That’s fine if he’s not moving much, but it’s not fast enough to keep up with him when he’s running from room to room .
