A leaker has provided further details about the Vivo X100 Pro+ or Vivo X100 Ultra camera flagship, which is expected to be launched in 2024. Based on a prototype, the triple cam equipped with 4.3x optical zoom appears to be quite versatile and can apparently reach ridiculous sounding digital zoom-levels.

    I really don't get the use of super high resolutions on tiny sensors like that.

    Sure, you can have a crazy zoom (aka crop) while still retaining good enough resolution, but at this point?
    All the detriments that minuscule, high-res sensors bring about won't just disappear.

    The glass on the lens doesn't even resolve that much resolution. I doubt it's even physically possible to make a piece of glass that perfect. There is a reason people still buy medium format cameras over full frame, the glass elements can be larger and therefore small imperfections are a smaller fraction of the lens. This is also one reason bigger telescopes are always better. Diffraction also kicks in faster with smaller lenses. Even if your glass was perfect, then diffraction of the iris blurs your image.
