This is the obvious way to go for phone cameras. Stop the megapixels madness. 12 is more than enough. I would even say 8. Focusing on sensors with better low light performance is the best thing they can do.

      AnonD-451653, 06 Nov 2015My DSLR has like half the resolution of the recent Sonys and guess which one produces better detail?In terms of details - the phone camera wins no matter how much you like your dslr (as long as it is one of the best camera phones S6, 6S, G4 etc). In terms of image quality and versatility, dslr of course.

        And for low light just use a better lense. Maybe just use a larger sensor to compensate for the higher resolution.

        And thank you for proving my point. Yet just because I called you out you tried to play games and deny that's what you were saying

              I will not buy this phone if they go backwards on megapixels.

              I know a lot of people, who feel exactly the same.

Simply put, more light per pixel, the better. In addition, a 12MP image is still an extremely useful resolution as cropping can still be done. So not only are you getting a bigger sensor, you are getting more light per pixel, all while maintaining a resolution that can benefit from cropping. The 4MP case is irrelevant to this discussion.

But most people with phones just take photos to chuck onto fb or Instagram so I guess they're going for the image that looks nice when zoomed out. But I agree 16 MP would make more sense in this age of 4K TVs though, and is also good for marketing despite the megapixel myth.

                              It's a pity when people(ie iworshippers) complain about Galaxy s6 battery when their iPhone 6 can't even last 4hrs of medium usage.
