All digital cameras capture images in pixels. A megapixel is equal to 1 million pixels. The quantity of megapixels is what determines the quality (resolution) of the picture the mobile phone can produce. A 2 megapixel camera will allow you to take an image which will print a picture 8 inches by 10 inches at fair-to-good image quality (150 pixels per inch). A 3 or 4 megapixel camera on your phone will produce a much higher-quality image, which means that even larger prints will be acceptably sharp.
