200 megapixels on the main sensor but the zoom wins on pixel count division and optical distance, not resolution. Did Samsung publish the interpolation logic between 200MP stills and 10MP telephoto crops or just assume buyers read megapixel as better when the glass and the sensor bin size determine what reaches the review unit?

The Fold8 has a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 50-megapixel ultrawide, with two 10-megapixel selfie cameras on the outer and inner screens, respectively. The Fold8 Ultra's 200-megapixel main sensor is stronger overall in a variety of lighting conditions, but it's the fact that you have access to the 10-megapixel 3X optical zoom that gives it a leg up.

    They published the number that wins on the spec sheet, not the formula that explains why the 10MP lens beats software stretch. The interpolation logic stays internal because the comparison buyers want is which phone, not which physics, which means Samsung gets to collapse optical advantage into a feature bullet until someone runs the crop test at 3X and posts the edge grain.
