Galaxy S26 Ultra vs. OPPO Find X10 Pro Max main camera comparison.
This is essentially ISOCELL HP2 vs. HPC. HPC can also give us a very good idea of what to expect from the next-generation sensor used in the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
And the difference is huge.
Just look at the dynamic range. In this extremely challenging scene, the S26 Ultra blows out a large portion of the highlights outside the cave, losing both texture and color. The HPC sensor preserves significantly more information in those bright areas while still retaining plenty of detail inside the dark cave.
Same 1/1.3-inch size. Same 200MP. Same 0.6μm pixels.
Yet the actual image quality can be dramatically different.
This is exactly why you should never judge a camera sensor by size and megapixels alone.

This actually mostly looks like an image processing difference. See that the actual clipped area in both is not all that different, but Samsung has more of a gradual highlight rolloff, whereas Oppo goes straight to pure white clipping with no in between.
The interesting part these, Is the one we're calling the "bad" photo, is exactly what it looks like to the naked eye.
