Different portion of sensor is used when shooting 16:9(wider view) or 4:3(taller view), this way the field of view and resolution is not wasted thus resulting total of 24.6mp sensor but since the most used is 4:3(at 22.6mp) hence advertised as 23mp
    While other brand just crop the image from 4:3 sensor (exp: 12mp 4:3 will be around 9mp in 16:9 + loss of view vertically result from croping)

          Awesome 960fps videos! The balloon one is the best. I think with the new XZ's we can expect a lot of Matrix videos to pop up on the internet........

                            I have used the SLO-mo capabilities of both the XZ and the IPhone 7 (which also keeps the audio intact) and let me tell you it isn't even close in terms of quality, the iPhone is miles ahead.

                            Haven't used it myself, but by most experts reckoning the Pixel is just as good and maybe slightly better than the iPhone at slo-mo, other than it the closest other android phone in terms of quality is the Galaxy S7.

                            According to the article linked below, the amount of time the these new phones can record 960fps is 0.18 seconds, so like I have said, impressive, but limited.

                              Lex79, 27 Feb 2017Like I said the technical reasoning behind the limitation i... morePixel/iPhone doesn't have 960fps so they don't even have an approach. At lower fps like 120 you can do the same thing and more with Sony as I stated in my first reply. Also Sony keeps the sound. 960fps is something else, you'd need a continuous stream of 960fps to do the timeshift app style editing and at this stage it's not possible.

                                Sony has a way to process it even its beyond SoC limits.

                                XA and XA ultra now have same cam of Z5 and X.

                                Only a few units of s7 has Samsung sensors.

                                The latest was imx380 used on Zenfone 3 Deluxe..
