I still don’t get why people want to cram that many pixels into an aperture that’s a pin head. It’s such a lie you’re just augmenting actual light with software interpolation. A camera with that tiny lens on a phone is useful up to a point. Beyond that, get an SLR and practice real photography. This stuff is so delusional.

As far as I get it, the sensor allows pixel binning, so most of the time you’ll be working with a 20MP image where the sensor behaves the same as if it was huge 20MP sensor (more light collection), but it turns it off when you have enough light and allows you to either have “optical” zoom by cropping the sensor and using the center 20MP or to have a big ass 200MP photo.
