They used to say it was no problem when many flagship phones went from 20 or 16 mp to 12mp. But anything beyond 5 meters is noticably less detailed with 12mp relative to 20mp and beyond.

I went from 20 (sony xperia) to 12 (s10) which was a huge difference in detail. Could read license plates from 30 meters away on the 20 mp pictures.

I am going insane if someone says megapixels on phones do not matter. Like we can actually read the details on the packaging here. I assume you have a 20 to 50 mp camera on your phone?
