I heard the Surface duo having an 11 megapixel camera, but able to record 4K, whereas I have a camera that’s 20 meagpixels but only 720p, and the camera on my phone is 13 megapixels and 1080p. Can you please tell me why? Does it have to do with sensor size?
​
Thank you in advance.

Videos require a lot more resources than taking a simple photo. The camera’s processor needs to process 30 or 60 images per second, compress them and save them to the memory card. Therefore cameras can usually take only videos with a smaller resolutions than the photos they can take.
