Episode Why Your Phone Camera Is Losing The Resolution War
We dig into the physics of why smartphone camera megapixel counts have plateaued while sensor sizes shrink, and how companies like Samsung and Sony are using computational photography to fake it. Lucas and Luna break down the trade-offs between pixel density and light gathering, looking at specific examples from recent flagship devices and what this means for the future of mobile imaging engineering.
