The camera setup on smartphones has been improving over the years, however recently we have seen the introduction of a 1 inch Sony sensor for the main camera.

2 years ago only a few phones used this sensor, but now in 2023 a number of flagship smartphones are using the 1 inch Sony sensor and Dxo Mark have rated the Oppo X6 Pro as having the best camera ever seen on a smartphone.

Looking at the list all the phones using this sensor score very highly. The only downside I can see so far is the camera setup on these phones is enormous!

Is this going to become a must have feature on the very best smartphones?

Very impressive but i bet battery takes a spanking, both pre and post image taking.

What kind of file size will this create?!

Wide: 50MP, f/1.8
Ultra-Wide: 50MP, f/2.2
Tele: 50MP, f/2.6

wow.
Good question, I couldn't find an answer on Google but it's the same sensor as the Sony RX100 series.

If shooting in raw you should expect a field size of roughly 23MB, and the highest quality jpeg around 13MB.

Reviews seem to suggest you should get over a day from the battery on this with normal use.

I know that there has been some sort of processing on some of these photos, but still a glimpse into what these are capable of capturing.

I know DSLR will always be better for obvious reasons, but for a camera phone they do seem impressive.
