88MP camera? I don't know if phone cameras will ever get there.

edit: wow, did not realise how far phone cameras had come!

There are quite a few phones available today which exceed that. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Huawei Nova SE 9, realme 8 Pro, etc.

The upcoming Moto X30 Pro has a 200 MP camera in it.

edit: these are all rear cameras

Wow! Thanks for the info.
Of course! It's bonkers how far phone cameras have come over the last few years.
But is it actually "good". Take a 40MP photo from a Lumia 1040 compare it with an A7R3 not really the same picture.
A lot of the higher MP cameras are gimmicks. Lots of MP with a tiny sensor.
There are already phones with 108MP cameras [1], and my current ~200 EUR phone has a 64MP camera.
