Judd Heep noted that in the next few years mobile photography will become one of most important areas for both smartphone brands and chip makers. And artificial intelligence will play a crucial role in this development.

Asked if smartphone cameras could outperform DSLRs in terms of image quality, Heep replied:
Snapdragon processing is 10x better than Nikon and Canon's bigger and better-looking cameras. And that's why we can really break the barrier in terms of image quality. Even though smartphones have a small lens and image sensor, they provide many, many times better processing than a DSLR
Regarding the number of megapixels, Judd believes that modern smartphone cameras do not need 200-300 megapixel sensors, 40 or 50 megapixels will suffice. As we have always said, quantity does not make quality even if companies like Xiaomi they seem not to have understood it. Or maybe yes, and it's all marketing.
