Printable picture size

[1814]

Looking for a phone camera that would make a good to very good 14 x 19 wall printable pictures. I know DSLR cameras completely outshine phone cameras but I was curious if anyone has or is it possible to print photo's of 14 x 19 that look decent?

14 x 19 inch? Or cm?

For that large of a print, you'd need a good DSLR to look half decent if this is 14x19 in. According to THIS calculator, you'd need a 24MP resolution to print at the industry standard of 300 DPI. Some phones could hit that, and many could get you a 200 DPI print of about 10.6 MP, but your bigger problem in my opinion would be image quality. Image noise and lens imperfections are going to become more apparent at such a large print size. If you view from a distance, it's not going to be as bad. If you view up close, things could get ugly.

Many years ago, I printed a picture from a 3MP camera (that many years ago) at 11X17 inches, and at 3 feet or more, it was a great picture. (At a few inches, you could see the printing artifacts. but you couldn't see the picture itself - you were too close for your eye to see the whole thing at once.) So any 8MP camera should outdo that, and even my almost-8 year old Note 3 has more resolution than that. (Kodak did the 2.3X3.4 meter slides in Grand Central Station for their billboards. From the ground, they look great. From the balcony, where they're mounted, they're nothing but blobs. They weren't meant to be seen from that close.)

This makes the most sense.

The S20 Ultra does 23 mp RAW files. I've printed 11 × 17 successfully.
