Light years behind the ones they use for themselves. Possibly not even S5 standard. My gf's S7 has a way better screen than the one in the Pixel 3xl. Feel free to go put them side by side, I have. I have also put my 950xl next to them. Seriously, my 950xl is 3 yrs old, and it has a slightly degraded screen, and it is still whiter.

        Love the Community, 22 Dec 2018Did Google used a new and better IMX sensor than the Pixel ... moreFirst: imx300 and imx400 were made exclusively for Xperia. They wont be ever sold to other.

        Second: most use 12MP because their photos would look ugly at higher resolutions ( 16, 20, 25, 30, 40 MP). No matter if it comes from Google or Apple

        Third: scale Pixel pics to 20MP and see how ugly they look.

        Low res pic will always look prettier on a 20" screen, but shitty on a 4K 55" one...

          Don't care if it has 1500 cameras - what counts is best photo quality regardless.

I have a test object (white handmade door with painting marks i use to test cameras for detail resolving). As you said, nothing could beat 808 so far but having tested MANY cameras, XZ3 is next. Better than Lumia 950XL, for example, which had almost same results than Note 9, for example.

                Did Google used a new and better IMX sensor than the Pixel 2?

                When will Google use Sony's Flagship IMX X00 series sensors (like 400, 500, 600) and teach Sony how to make proper camera algorithms?

Softwa... morenope. with the case of a sensor of same size, lower megapixel camera will give you a better picture cause the pixels are bigger and can collect more information. so a plain statement that 16 mp camera will have better photo is completely wrong. 16mp will just give a bigger photo.
