I don't know why I never noticed this. I have a Samsung S20 Ultra 5G and a Samsung S24 Ultra.
For 2 years, I have been capturing screenshots of the outcome of a game I play, everyday. In all those games, over 2 years, the screen capture has been 1440 x 3200, 5MP. But I recently changed phones to the S24. Now, all of a sudden it's capturing at lower resolution. Perhaps it's not a big deal, in the grand scheme of things but sometimes I want a higher resolution. I just assumed it was capturing at maximum resolution of the screen. Not so...
These are the resolutions that my 2 phones are capturing that game screen.
On my S20, the resolution is 1440 x 3200, 5MP
On my S24, the resolution is 1080 x 2340, 3MP
Questions:
1) Why would the higher resolution phone capture at a lower resolution than the lower resolution phone?
2) Is there a way to SET the capture resolution, so the screen capture will capture at full resolution? I realize that the two phone have different screen sizes so won't be exactly the same. I do NOT want to have to try and resize each image, for every screenshot I capture. I'd just like to make it something like 5MP, like the other.
3) What is the method used, for how the phone decides what resolution to use? I have reviewed my screenshots, and notice that they might be different. Some are 1MP, some are 2MP, some are 4, 5, etc. I'd like to have some control over this, and resizing isn't an option. I would just like to SET it and forget it.
