It is almost a given that Motorola is going to launch a smartphone with a 200 megapixel camera soon. What is not at all clear is what the name of this device will be. Some suggest that it will be called Motorola Frontier, others say that it will be the Pro version of the Moto Edge X30 and there are those who say that its name will be Moto Edge 30 Ultra. Be that as it may, the first photo taken with the 200 MP camera of this smartphone has just been leaked, which in this article we will call the Motorola X30 Pro.
And it is that, through Weibo, a Lenovo executive has shared a sample of the 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL HP1 sensor that the Motorola X30 Pro carries. Let’s see it and analyze it…
First photo of the 200 MP camera of the Motorola X30 Pro
Chen Jin, CEO of the Lenovo Mobile group in China (Lenovo owns Motorola), was the executive who published the image you see above. According to his own words, this photo was taken with the Motorola X30 Pro’s 200 MP camera . If you want to detail it in depth, we recommend that you click on the source link at the end of this article to see the original photograph (6144 x 8192 pixel resolution and 13 MB in weight) uncompressed. You may need to follow this tutorial on how to use Weibo without Chinese phone number.
As you can see, the photo boasts a fairly high amount of detail despite the fact that what we are seeing is a version of the photo that has lost some quality after being uploaded to a public social network. Also, keep in mind that the resolution of the photo is 50 MP, since the mobile uses the pixel-binning technique that groups 4 pixels into 1 to improve the final result in terms of lighting.
However, the ISOCELL HP1 sensor can capture images at a resolution of 16384 x 12288 with its 200 million 0.64μm pixels . And it also has the ability to use 16 pixels-in-1 pixel-binning (2.56μm pixels) for 12.5MP stills, though it will default to 50MP photos.
In any case, the executive said that the 4-in-1 pixel binning of this sensor is better than the 9-in-1 supported in 108 MP phones, including the Moto G200 that was released earlier this year.
Anyway, this phone is expected to be sold as Motorola Edge X30 Pro in China and as Motorola Edge 30 Ultra in the rest of the world . It should go official in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for the latest news.
