Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – It’s undeniable that the camera is the main aspect that consumers still see when buying a cell phone. Because of that, HP camera innovation has moved quickly in recent years.
Two things that are often offered when talking about the quality of HP cameras are sensors and pixels. In 2023, many HP manufacturers are starting to use 1-inch sensors.
The jumbo sensor is able to capture more light and reduce noise for night shots.
On the other hand, the megapixel (MP) war is endless. It doesn’t feel like long ago that the HP manufacturer introduced a 50MP camera, then suddenly the 64MP and 108MP cameras were excited.
Last year, 200MP cameras were introduced and became popular for premium class HP. Many think that large megapixels make the resulting photo quality more capable.
This is certainly not wrong. The reason is, megapixels affect the detailed images that can be taken by the camera sensor. The bigger the megapixels, the bigger the image can be without breaking it.
So, if you want to print an image on a billboard or put it on a big screen, of course you need jumbo megapixels so that the results are still sharp.
For more details about the differences in sensors and pixels, as well as their respective functions, the following is summarized by CNBC Indonesia, Friday
at (26/6/2023) from various sources.
HP Camera Sensors and Their Functions
Literally, the sensor’s job is to change the image captured by the lens. Sensors come in a variety of sizes and are made up of cells that represent pixels.
Inside the sensor, there is a processor that converts the incoming light into color. The results from all sensor cells are then put together and form a unified image.

The size of the sensor determines the amount of incoming light captured. For this reason, with the same number of pixels, a larger sensor will produce better image quality.
Usually, the size of the sensor will determine the size of the lens. So, a large lens will have a larger aperture. This aperture is a light store, so it makes sense that a larger sensor will result in better quality low light photos.
Some cellphones that have 1-inch sensors include Vivo X90 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Pro.
Currently, there are cellphones on the market that have a 200MP camera. One megapixel is equivalent to 1 million pixels, which are small squares put together to form an image.
The more pixels, the higher the resulting image resolution. That is, the density of the image allows the enlargement (zoom) many times without breaking the photo.
Another advantage of having a large number of pixels is the ability to combine several small pixels into 1 large pixel or the term ‘pixel binning’.
Sensors or pixels
If you have to choose, of course these two things have an important role. It’s just that, a large physical sensor can produce better RAW image data.

Bokeh capabilities from large apertures will also be better without having to switch to ‘Portrait’ mode. For low light performance, a larger sensor size will automatically capture more light.
However, similar quality can also be obtained from many megapixels with various supported processing.
It should be noted, good image quality also requires a capable image processor to determine rich color and texture accuracy. In this case, each HP manufacturer has a different style so that the results of the photos really depend on individual tastes.
