See, Samsung? This is how you make a proper high-MP sensor. Global shutter, decent area (still small but not too small), and features that ensure quality (as opposed to software compensating for quality loss).

now IMX789 as legit as IMX661 ?
thats is different class on its own ... so comparing those is just not make sense imo
sony did release new smartphone sensor IMX789, go ahead google it, if u havent read it
is it better? based what i read so far not much different than what samsung one

now this IMX661 prolly not even going to high-end mirrorless camera
like mentioned in article intended for industrial uses

Meanwhile, the Hubble telescope which has peered into the farthest reaches of the universe has been doing it with an 8mp sensor.

Meh! we needed that on the Perseverance Mars Rover. You know, for Alien life porn, when they find it.
And thats not if but when.

I wonder why phones had rolling shutter instead of global to begin with. Small area and plenty of processing power.. did they just want to screw with us. Now all of a suddent some heavyass 127mp sensor can do global shutter out of nowhere? If you can snap all pixels at once on a 127mp sensor whats the damn problem of doing it on the mainstream 12mp ones..

Correct me if i'm wrong as maybe i'm reading this wrong.
But isn't this sensor....huge? Like it's meant for industrial equipment, and would be extremely impractical, if not impossible to put it in a phone and have the phone still be wieldable as a phone from what i'm seeing.
So....why is everyone comparing it to a phones sensor? Even if it didn't specifically state it was for industrial equipment, the size itself would make it completely irrelevant for phones, so why are we talking as though it is?

https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201910/19-098E/ -> IMX530 24MP sample price 210,000 JPY
bet IMX661 wouldnt cheaper than that

"Sony is the key supplier for the CMOS image sensors used in iPhone 12 Pro's three camera lenses, including its wide-angle and telephoto lenses, the findings showed. The sensors are priced at around $5.40 to $7.40 each."

those camera module (ultrawide+108mp wide+tele+AFlaser+flash)in note20 is priced at $60
well no point discussing more than this... now just answer it yourself
since beginning we all know sony making great camera + sensor (they are at top sensor market share afterall)
so why they havent make/release vastly superior camera sensor for smartphone then?
even say they possible make such sensor for smartphone with the price of course
so its make sense to u if smartphone price goes up 4x-5x times than now ?
which people now already think its way to high
that before considering the size, and various factor to add
i agree samsung using "big-numbers" in marketing
but thats common things nowdays, and considering their market-share is much smaller (less than20% ? compared to sony 50%+), they doing more aggressive marketing trying to get more appeal, which is practical enough
and what important is that although its true, their "big-numbers" sensor didnt gain much improvement equally to the big-number, but still the fact is that it got some improvement and also not much worse compared to competitor latest best sensor
talking about good sense, you comparing $2000 sensor vs around $10 sensor LMAO

I bet these are designed to be used in high-resolution cameras used for surveillance so they can use AI facial recognition on a huge crowd all at once. Right now its not easy because the resolution is not enough for hundreds of faces in crowd at once. Won't be cheap, but certain oppressive governments will pay big to watch their citizens on every street in their cities.

Samsung uses pixel binning to essentially get the same results of a much higher pixel size but be able to switch to higher detail as well. In order to say "Samsung is just marketing" you'd have to actually show why the 3x3 pixel binning Samsung does is inferior to a sensor with bigger pixels + contrast that with the obvious detail trade off of having 108mp in shots that can be well lit.
Seems like Samsung is simply making a different design choice, there are advantages and disadvantages to their approach and sure one of them probably includes being able to market higher MP numbers but that's not the only benefit.

so there already bunch of result you can find, such oneplus8, asus ROG 5
and really u said we dont have result from like 1year old phone ? lol
for samsung 108mp sensor itself, they been improving like 3 times since first release
ISOCELL HMX > HM1 > HM2 > HM3
well if u care and not just want to bashing the "108mp", u should already know about it
if u look at current smartphone cmos sensor , either samsung, sony or omnivision
they all doing similar things, what sony quad-bayer ?
do you really think u know everything about sensor more than all those sensor engineers ?
based what u saying, i doubt u read enough about pixel bining, and why most smartphone sensor now using it (also mirrorless Sony A7S III)
and i wonder do u using phone with those sensor and know its bad based your usage ? OR u just basically saying what in ur thought without even testing it?
anyway while u still critizing 108mp... samsung already marketing other else
[youtube=8KILAVjM8lY]
[youtube=TYdEHoPo6jA]
they cant stop marketing it
[youtube=PtzRsTzAijw]
so you can continue "talk" whatever you like lol
the only one that have yet to see the result is only IMX789, rest already released

sony also showcasing similar things

https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/technology/stories/IMX586/
its marketing yes, but not everything pure-gimmick as like what u been said
and what we talking here is samsung smartphone sensor which is what samsung developed for their smartphone (we already know they didnt make wide array of sensor like sony)
but then why companies such sony that seriously in photography/videography, offering similar things like samsung ? not creating vastly superior sensor that comparable to mirrorless that blow samsung 108mp sensor out of water?
so if u trying to say samsung pixel-bining is just gimmick, then its mean all similar sensor is no different
u should start debunking back from nokia 808 then
Nokia 808 PureView proved that oversampling improve picture quality
