    So no. It's not amazing pixel size for the space.
    Just for 7 more pixels you loose 0.6micron size of each pixel.
    And pixel binning is great but not the same as if those pixels where actually that size

      Anonymous, 26 Jul 2018Best smartphone camera ever. Evet. Maybe. Still have the 808 and cm1.
      Not to mention that Sony has been lacking in dynamic range, stabilization, and focusing compared to others

                  AnonD-731363, 25 Jul 2018Well they can put even 60 but compared to proper DSL camera... moresame principal applies not just camera, audio as well, every phone ( except onkyo dp-cmx1) sounds crap compare to dedicated high resolution audio player.

                    Dual: 48MP RGB f/1.8 + 12MP Monochrome f/1.6 sensors
                    Both sensors with 1/2" size and use the same AUBE Fusion ISP with addition to pixel binning of the 48MP sensor
                    What a killer!

                      Others would be way smaller than that. Besides, if the sensor's resolution is decreased to something like 2MP and use the pixel binning technique, it could result to 24 million pixels combining together as one superpixel, which would highly increase the pixel size to maybe 2um pixels.
