Megapixel (MP)

Megapixel (MP) (n.) A unit of image resolution equivalent to one million pixels. In mobile photography, megapixel count is often used as a marketing feature, with higher numbers suggesting better image quality. While more megapixels can provide more detail, factors like sensor size and lens quality are equally important. Modern smartphones typically range from 12MP to over 100MP, with some using pixel binning technology to balance detail and low-light performance.
