Surprisingly small photo sizes - is this an error?

[KillerQ]

Perhaps I'm just used to other camera phones taking photos with much larger size, but don't these sizes seemed awfully small for the OnePlus 7 Pro?

You can choose 48mp JPEG using Pro mode. The file size is rediculous. It also depends on the scene.

I did use 48mp pro... Only came to 7mb... Hmmm

Try taking a photo with lots of details and colors. Foliage is a good scene to test.

I didn't notice this until this thread. So, I went back and checked some similar photos taken with my OP6. The ones taken with the 6 are twice the size of the 7's.

Does size matter?
