To put it simply, pixel binning takes pixels in a 2×2 grid on a sensor, and then combines them to create what is essentially a ‘superpixel’. While using this technique does result in a photo with a resolution that is a quarter of the initial resolution, the final image is brighter, with reduced noise.
That’s because combining multiple pixels into a single pixel gives the phone more data to work with, which can then be used to improve the image. Here are a few premium smartphones on Amazon that offer pixel binning technology. Please note that the devices in the list are selected based on the specifications and features that they have to offer.
OnePlus 7T
The OnePlus 7T packs a triple-rear camera setup with a 48MP+12MP+16MP configuration. With the help of pixel binning and the large f/1.6 aperture lens, the phone should offer impressive photos in low light conditions. At the front of the device is a 16MP sensor that is housed inside a waterdrop notch on the display. Speaking of the display, the phone offers a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. In order to ensure that things run smoothly, the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC. Other features include a 3800mAh battery with support for the company’s Warp Charge fast charging technology.
OnePlus 7T Pro
The OnePlus 7T Pro is a more premium version of the OnePlus 7T. The phone packs a triple-rear camera setup with 48MP+8MP+16MP configuration. Like its more affordable sibling, the OnePlus 7T Pro also comes with a large f/1.6 aperture lens, which combined with the pixel binning tech should offer improved low light imaging capabilities. At the front of the phone is a 16MP sensor that is housed inside a pop-up module. The device packs a 6.67-inch AMOLED QHD+ display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. Powering the smartphone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC.
Realme X2
The Realme X2 features a quad-rear camera setup with a 64MP+8MP+2MP+2MP configuration. The 64MP primary sensor on the phone offers an f/1.8 aperture lens, which should offer impressive low light imaging capabilities when paired with pixel binning. Other features of the phone include a 32MP front camera for selfie and video calling. The device features a 6.4-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 2340x1080p resolution. The Realme X2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC, which should ensure that things run smoothly.
Redmi K20
The Redmi K20 features a triple-rear camera setup with a 48MP+13MP+8MP configuration. To help with low light phones, the device packs a large half-inch sensor and an F1.75 aperture lens, which when combined with pixel binning should ensure good quality low light shots. At the front of the device is a 20MP camera that is housed inside a pop-up module. The device packs a 6.39-inch AMOLED display, with a 2340x1080p resolution. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 SoC and features a 4000mAh battery.
