Regi, 25 Jan 2022This is not 1/1.2 sensor, it resembles more of a normal 20m... moreUnfortunately I don't know about the sensor itself, however the camera module was much larger compared eg to the 20MP shooter of Lumia 950 and it was only a bit smaller compared to Lumia 1020. It could be that the optics occupied a lot of space, but I assume that the sensor was also larger than the average 20MP shooters.

Also number of MP might be misleading in general, as there are also bigger sensors of 20MPs (eg the 1st 1 inch sensor phone, in 2014 the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-CM1) smaller sensors of more MPs, like the generic 48 or 64MPs of several chinese brands...

This is not 1/1.2 sensor, it resembles more of a normal 20mp sensor you'll find on other Lumias with 20mp sensors. No wonder this got shelved, still is an unfortunate though.

And even more, the whole 3D Touch and UI-less concept was something unique, we still don't have anything similar from competitors, years later. It was a device from the future.

Still, these are based on observations, nothing official from Microsoft or Nokia.

So, it was corrected. The size of the sensor though is unknown, so we can't be sure about the size of each pixel, only about the total number of pixels... Still, it is unique.

Wait... didn't this page say the camera sensor was 50 megapixels before? Why did that get changed?

Philips, 11 Jul 2017Will it be sold???? or released??It was developed by Nokia and cancelled by Microsoft after the acquisition of Nokia's phone department. However, a few functional prototypes were produced, supporting the innovative 3D Touch technology, which cannot be found elsewhere and occasionally some of them are sold eg on eBay.
