It is still a rumor, but Motorola would be releasing a 200Mp camera sensor next year, which will be the first of its kind. Samsung and Xiaomi as well would begin employing the sensor in 2023.

Motorola's 200-megapixel camera phone, according to a report from a Twitter user going by the handle "Ice Universe," will be the first to hit store shelves. After that, Xiaomi, which is slated to introduce its new smartphone with a 200-megapixel camera in the second half of next year, will take the lead. Additional information provided by the source stated that Samsung wants to release its 200-megapixel camera phone in 2023 — following the launches of Motorola and Xiaomi devices.

In addition to the 200-megapixel camera phone, Motorola is reportedly working on the Moto Edge X which may feature a 60-megapixel OmniVision OV60A 0.61μm selfie camera sensor. The Moto Edge X would also have a 50-megapixel 1 / 1.55-inch OmniVision OV50A main camera on the rear as well.

Bigger MP is good for perhaps...a security camera with a zoom lens on the front?

Not if the lense isnt good enough to expose more detail.
It ends up showing practically the same image with a huge amount more pixels -much larger file size.

Besides, analogue zoom doesnt need an increase in resolution to zoom.
If its good at the native res, the zoom will be good because that is also at native res.
These new sensors are so high res the tiny tiny lenses wont allow any more detail, current sensors are already too high res for the lenses

I was thinking more along the lines of facial recognition for security purposes...that kinda thing.

I dont think more resolution will help facial recognition etc, we already have more than enough detail for a smartphone viewing close.
Image processing is what sucks.
