Pixel binning is a mechanism to use 2 (or more) pixels of the camera sensor to create 1 pixel in the final image. Pixel binning is basically trading resolution for higher sensitivity. This significantly helps to reduce sensor noise in low light scenes.
The video camera of the SGS2 seems to make use of pixel binning when recording in 720p. The sensor resolution is way bigger than the video resolution of 1280x720 and so sensor pixels are "combined".
Now I'm wondering, if pixel binning could also be used for the still camera. While the camera can take great shots at day light, it has (as most digital cameras) significant noise issues in low light scenes. The still camera could really benefit from pixel binning to create well exposed and less noisy images. I for one would love to have the possibility to trade some mega pixels for noise free, low light images.
Code:
aspect ratio | normal resolution | possible pb resolution
4:3 3264x2448, 8mpx 1632x1224, 2mpx
16:9 3264x1968, 6.5mpx 1632x984, 1.6mpx
Does anyone of the developers see a way to enable pixel binning via a (software) mod for the still camera?
shameless bump
i was told its not 1080p but its better then 720p ?
1280x800. HD 720 is 1280x720

so slightly better then 720p?
Slightly. It just has added height. It is a 16:10 ratio instead of 16:9. Its not a big difference, and is basically the same thing between 1920x1080 versus 1920x1200.
Personally, the extra height is a plus.
Aspect ratios are a funny beast. HDTV (720p as well as 1080p or FullHD in marketing terms) is 16:9. 800x480, which I consider to be the "classic" Android resolution--it's been more or less standard from the time of the Nexus one, up through the SGS2--has a 15:9 (aka 5:3) aspect ratio, so it is slightly wider when held in portrait than a GNexus. The Note is 1280x800, so at 16:10 (or 8:5) it lies in between the two--not as skinny as a 720p phone, but not as wide as a "typical" 800x480 phone.
On a complete tangent, I miss when 16:10 was the standard for monitors. Most monitors now are 1080p rather than 1920x1200; the latter is really a superior resolution for a computer imo.
Don't forget it uses Pentile display, not RGB, so there are less subpixels than regular screens. With that said, I thought my Note has excellent screen.

So when encoding a video what should I set the resolution too ?

1280x720 to keep the same aspect ratio
No its 1280x800, which is .625 aka 16:10, not .5625 which is 16:9. It doesn't matter though, keep your video at its original ratio, if you want to stretch the video, let the video player do it.
which display will consume more battery if we perform same operations on both phone. in other words my question is do display with more pixels consumers more battery than the display with less pixels consider screen size and type of display.
BQ - white pixel vs black pixel which consumer more battery.
I wanted to know if there was a way to change the QHD screen to 1080p for performance boost and battery life.
By default, the rom runs at 4k resolution so the device is lag. how to lower the resolution to 2k on exprecence pixel rom? please
Sorry. EL is very bad
