In recent times, there have been some standout models that have taken the spotlight with their large sensors. So, what do you think the future holds for this segment? How far can mobile photography advance in terms of natural light performance and night mode experiences? Over the next 2-3 years, how much growth can we expect in sensor sizes for cameras? Which technical advancements do you think will stand out: lenses, software improvements, or hardware integration?
What do you think about the camera-focused phone segment?

Larger sensors, especially those approaching the 1-inch mark, are starting to revolutionize mobile photography, but I want to talk about some "physical limitations" here. For example, models with **Royal Y2 1/1.3"** sensors are already becoming standard, but what happens when we move to **1.7"** or **2/3"** sensors? Even at those sizes, lens thickness and the phone's physical design become major obstacles. Moreover, the larger the sensor, the more complex the lens system that collects light becomes—not like a car headlight, but when trying to bring **apertures like f/1.0** to mobile, you run into new issues like lens fogging, heat dissipation, and even storage data (especially in RAW shots).
Another point is that **night mode is no longer just a marketing gimmick—it's now genuinely usable for professional work**. Phones now offer **10-15 second exposure times** as standard, but this highlights just how crucial **image stabilization (OIS/gyro)** is. What about vibrations? How do we minimize them when taking a 10-second exposure on a phone with IP53 protection? This suggests that in the future, we’ll need **physical vibration isolation (like VR headsets)** or **gyroscopes 5-10 times more sensitive** than current ones. Otherwise, will we just end up with **blurry photos after night mode shots?**
