Camera Phone

Increase the Resolution if Possible

SUMMARY: Higher resolutions can result in more detailed camera phone photos.

Some camera phones, especially newer models, let you increase the resolution of pictures you take. This means that you can take photos that contain more detail by recording more pixels, or visual information.

The downside to increasing the photo resolution is that the pictures will take up more space in your camera phone memory. Unless your camera phone supports add-on memory and you have some installed, you may have to balance photo detail versus being able to keep a few dozen pictures on your phone at once.
