Re: How do cameras with tiny diameter lenses offer high resolution?
From the cryptic PR, it sounds like Samsung wants to use a dynamic level of downsampling to tune SNR versus resolution. They've chosen 2x2 cell color filters and I don't think their re-mosaic plan will work as well as they claim. Removing mosaic patterns at high resolution requires some shape tracing - a feature that doesn't work on noisy pixels. I'm not an expert on the math to calculate the diffraction limit and maximum illumination area, but even hitting 1/4 resolution seems like it would need a lens that doesn't fit in a cellphone.
My 12 Mpix S9+ loses details to noise filtering even at ISO 50. I'd have low expectations for the 108 Mpix S11.
