The average primary camera resolution of smartphones has reached its highest level yet in 2024

More than half of all smartphones shipped in Q2 2024 reportedly come with cameras with 50MP resolution or higher. This has marked a new era of high-resolution mobile photography. This surge has been reportedly driven by consumer demand for better camera quality and has consistently been an important factor in smartphone purchasing decisions.
According to data compiled by Counterpoint Research, the average primary camera resolution has doubled since Q2 2020, reaching a record high of 54MP.
