I noticed that smartphones have huge differences in terms of sensor sensitivity - for example, the scene is set to 1/24 and ISO 3200 on Motorola Fusion+, to have exactly this exposure on Motorola One Zoom I have to set ISO 640 at 1/24 🙂 I don't know what there is a difference, but clearly the One Zoom sensor is much more sensitive (about three times).
Has anyone tested BINNED 1080p resolution? Full sensor output is often around (above) 4K, but it can be saved in connected 2x2 pixels to get 1/4 of 4K resolution, i.e. 1080p.
Unfortunately, I noticed a problem with this binned mode - it is highly pixelated, when analyzed approximately it looks as if horizontally it was not two pixels combined into one, but 4 into one because it looks like it was actually 960x1080 and stretched again to 1920.
The photos are a recording in full 4K DNG and the same in 1080 BINNED and two examples of manual resize 4K to 1080p in PS - you can immediately see the colossal difference. Do newer versions of MotionCam RAW fix this?
I reduced the RAW DNG 4K in PS to 1080p resolution using two resize modes - nearest neighbor and best for reduction - in both cases the difference is colossal between pixels with 1080 binned mode.

It looks like the horizontal resolution was stretched to 1920 from 960...
