| Main Camera 200MP, f/1.7 24mm | Main Camera 50MP, f/1.7 25mm |

Does that mean one is better than the other?
It's easy to get too technical looking at the megapixel count and the specs, but the reality is that these days the processing done to the raw photo matters quite a bit more than any individual component. So a 200MP camera could easily lose to a 50MP camera IF the processing on the 50MP camera is better.
So if you prefer to look at the real photo samples and not just numbers on a sheet, here are some sample photos from the different cameras on the Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Pixel 9 Pro XL.
