While similar high-res sensors have been more common in pricier phones like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, this chip is designed for lower-cost devices like the 8 Pro.
This 108-megapixel chip isn't the same one used in the S21 Ultra or even last year's S20 Ultra. It's a smaller sensor - 1/1.52-inch versus 1/1.33-inch - with slightly smaller 0.7m pixels. However, it uses the same binning approach to improve light-gathering abilities by combining neighboring pixels into a less noisy 12-megapixel image.
