BERLIN: If you want to take razor-sharp images with your phone, you need a camera with high resolution. When buying a new phone, many people think they need to pay most attention to the number of megapixels. The common assumption is that the more megapixels, the better the image quality.
One megapixel corresponds to 1 million pixels. The higher the number of pixels, the denser and sharper the image will be. However, sometimes a smartphone with a lower megapixel count takes better quality photos than one with a higher number.
