Motorola

This is the first sample photo from the Moto Edge 30 Ultra 200-megapixel smartphone camera

There’s been a lot of hype about Samsung’s ridiculously high-resolution ISOCELL sensors, particularly their most recent 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP1 and ISOCELL HP3 sensors. While there have been at least one confirmed devices coming that contain the ISOCELL HP1, we haven’t seen any images shot with them yet.

Well, now that’s changed as Chen Jin, General Manager of Motorola China has posted a photo that he says was shot using the 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HP1 found in the triple camera setup of the Moto Edge 30 Ultra. It’s not the full 200-megapixel resolution, though. It uses the 4-in-1 pixel binning mode to produce a 50-megapixel result, but that’s still pretty nuts for a smartphone.

Samsung say their 200mp camera sensor is the cat’s whiskers with building-sized photo demo

What is the internet best used for? You could argue that it’s sharing cat photos. Along this theme, Samsung chose a feline subject to demonstrate their 200-megapixel smartphone sensor. And they didn’t just demonstrate how good it is, they decided to blow up the captured image and display it on the side of a building, in gigantic furry detail.

Although the sensor hasn’t yet made it into the consumer phone market Samsung has evidently already decided to hype up the new sensor and wasn’t deterred by printing the image to a staggering 2,021 square feet.

Motorola is launching a smartphone with a 200-megapixel camera in just two months

Motorola is set to release a new smartphone in July. And if the fact that Motorola is still releasing smartphones at all wasn’t surprising enough, this one’s going to contain a 200-megapixel camera, the company has confirmed through a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. It’s expected to be the long-rumoured Motorola Frontier and is being touted as a “new benchmark for image experience”.

The timing of the announcement is interesting after announcing just last week that it will be making use of the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 CPUs in an upcoming smartphone. There’s been no word on whether or not the 200-megapixel smartphone is going to be the one that contains the new Qualcomm chip or not but the non-Plus Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can accept cameras up to 200mp, too.

The Motorola One Action forces you to shoot horizontal video with its ultra-wide “Action” camera

Motorola has had just about enough of vertical video. So, for the new Motorola One Action, they’ve rotated the wide-angle camera to make it shoot horizontal video when holding your phone vertically.

It’s a neat approach and one that many users have been asking after for years. After all, it just feels more natural to hold our phones vertically – which is what caused the problem of vertical video in the first place. Now, Motorola is taking a gamble on this feature to help bring them back into the big leagues.

Hasselblad seem to be going in some interesting directions lately. Between the world’s first medium format mirrorless camera, and their venture with DJI, the world was already quite impressed. This latest announcement, though, has me a little curious.

Let’s start at the beginning. Motorola recently launched the Moto Z Droid phone. This phone allows for what are called “Moto Mods” which are backs that magnetically attach to your phone, increasing functionality. The latest Moto Mod is the Hasselblad True Zoom, which replaces the Moto Z’s camera and adds a 10x optical zoom lens.
