“More Megapixels (MP) = Better Photo Quality”
While smartphone vendors like Apple, Samsung and LG have been stepping-up their camera game in recent years, a common misconception concerning mobile camera performance is that the more megapixels (MP) you’ve got, the better your picture will turn out.
In fact, according to the survey, a whopping 86 percent of respondents believe this to be true. But, it’s not..
While having a higher number of MP above ~12 (like 16 or 40) means your device is capable of capturing photos at higher resolutions, no positive correlation exists between increased MP count and increased image quality. The device’s camera lens and software capabilities actually make a much larger difference in terms of photo quality.
