The biggest improvements in photography on mid-range phones past couple of years have been centered around the use of quad-pixel sensors with a higher megapixel count. Employing this tech, Samsung brought its 64MP GW1 sensor sometime back. Although we have smaller and bigger megapixel producers in the market, for the sake of this article, we will be focussing on 64-megapixel shooters only.

Now, high camera resolutions are naturally very easy to market, which is why manufacturers and marketers are zealously taking to these high megapixel counts to distinguish their products. So, before we get to the list of phones with a 64MP sensor, let’s first understand the underlying technology that goes into these Quad Pixel sensors.

Benefits of 64MP Quad-Pixel sensors

That’s not entirely wrong, but not exactly how things work in practice.

The individual pixel size gets reduced and four of these are clubbed under one pixel of overlaying Bayer’s filter (resulting in one bigger effective pixel). The overall size of the sensor is still significantly bigger than the usual 12MP or 16MP sensor, and that’s a good thing. For instance, Samsung’s 64MP GW1 sensor is 33% larger than its 48MP counterpart.

As our experience with 48MP sensors has corroborated, these sensors haven’t been designed for use at full resolution and the 64MP sensors will yield the best results at 16MP resolution. The improvement in image quality of midrange phones using such sensors is primarily because of the software smartly using these theoretical sub-pixels.

In daylight, the software can group the four subpixels in two and shoot an image at different exposures from both halves and combine the capture into one image with a better dynamic range (similar to how HDR works).

Some other 64MP sensor features include enhanced light sensitivity, dual conversion gain (DCG) that allows the sensor to adjust the light intake in a bright environment, high-performance Phase detection Autofocus, better color fidelity.

Ever since Samsung kicked off the trend with the GW1, we have seen 64MP GW2 and GW3 from the South Korean brand, IMX686 & IMX682 from Sony, as well as OmniVision OV64A join the fray. These have already been employed by major Smartphone brands and we shall see some of the best ones down below.
