HTC might have a 16 megapixel WP7 phone in the works

17 April, 2011
HTC has never been a competitor into the megapixel race, but this might as well change soon. According to a leaked short video ad, HTC is preparing a 16 megapixel cameraphone running Windows Phone...

Laurynas, 17 Apr 2011What kind of measurement system you are using to know that ... moreI feel that you dont actually know what does the number of Megapixels actually means, It's about the size of the picture: a 5MP camera will giv u a picture that if printed will fill a stnadard A4 paper without losing any detail of the picture, and it is from this standard we say that 5 Mp is actually enough...however some peoples want to crop part of the picture and so they go for higher Mp so they wont loose details while cropping so they go for higher number of Mp like 8Mp, however 16MP! now that is just too much! it's about 11inch wide and 16.2 inch long(27.9cm;41.1cm)!! now who will need a picture that big!

        When HTC finally produces a phone with a camera that's at least 30% as good as that of the old N82, let me know. Until then, HTC have NO right to participate in the megapixel race let alone attempt to raise the bar

          5MP is enough for him 'coz he ain't got money to buy 8mp, 12mp, or even 16mp camphone

            dual-LED flash? If they had it with Xenon, it would have been a killer. With only a dual-LED, It will only kill itself. I hope they will reconsider.

              i love that all the nokia fanboys are trolling at the HTC working for a phone retailer the N8 just doesnt sell its no where near the quality of the majority of HTC handsets or the galaxys s it may have a 12mp camera but who cares when the phone itself is slow and clunky with outdated software grow up fanboys

                    HTC is like one of the worst hardware brands along with Samsung and LG. I'm pretty sure their 16 MP won't even be as good as Nokias 12 MP camera.

                      I think that it is preatty personal, maybe for someone 5MP is enough and maybe for someone 16MP isn't enough. Please, correct me if I'm wrong!

                        ofcourse less than 5 MP is just a little small but 5Mp is more than enough and 8Mp is plenty! more than that is just numbers used for marketing!

                            They'll still screw it up with crappy camera software and crappy speakers. Why can't Samsung use a aluminium body like HTC?

                                There aren't many choices for a 16MP sensor, so it shouldn't be HTC usual's crap. But HTC has to show the path somehow so other brands have to follow and do better than them. This is how we all can move forward.

                                And keep that guy out with his 5MP is enough, enough to take your face in picture prolly.

                                        Silly fanboys. Take Sense out of the equation and you'll find that htc smartphones are utter crap.
                                        Nokia with WP8 will be unrivaled,both in terms of hardware and software, make no mistake. Whether it's a success or not will ultimately depend on the pigheadedness of android fanboys.
