Or they could incorporate a design change.

IpsDisplay, 12 Aug 2019I came to this article just to find a comment like this ... moreActually, even with sensor and pixel binning, it's not that simple. You also have to factor in post image processing, which solely down to the camera software implementation.

The biggest problem in 0.8um pitch sensor these days are the sensitivity of light, event in good light a slight movement can blur the image so no fantastis, instead they should make 1 or 1.2um 12 mp sensor instead. One of the good implementation is Huawei, the honor with 48mp which magic pro 2 have the Best 48mp mode res compared To anothet Phone (the one with ois and kirin 980)
Huawei with 1um 40mp res also does better job in detail for 40mp compared To most 48mp, check gsmarena photo comparison
Again 1 or 1.2um pixel 48mp is still better than those 64 or event 106mp even with stacking better pixel but low detail level

So at the end of the day, it's just a 27MP with 1.6 micron pixel using the Quad Bayer pixel binning technique. But still, that sensor is larger than the Nokia Lumia 1020. Definitely would love to see how that camera perform against that legend.

Meanwhile Apple... I like iOS and Apple in general, but their lack of real innovation, and super overpriced prices just keep me away from them, even tho I really want to go back to iOS

I don't get why you always use the weird fraction/decimal format, why not just 0.75" ?

Crop factor between Full Frame and a 1/2.6" is 6.5x.
Go to any online camera store and for example check a Micro 4/3 lenses.
A 25mm F2.0 will have description of (50mm f4.0 Full Frame equiv).
Crop factor is 2x for M4/3 and 1.5 for APSC.
Do you relly think those sport lenses with almost 40 cm diameter have same aperture diameter than cellphone? LOL ....

What about the lens? It takes a $$$$ lens to make a bright and sharp photo. At best there might be one or two very bulky niche phones that put a worthy lens on this thing. Most cellphone lenses can't do better than 6 Mpix equivalence in daylight with maximum image processing, and they can't light up a sensor this large.

"megapixel doesnt always mean better photos"
huawei and samsung: that statement is so outdated with current megapixel technology, and "doesnt always" mean some that some higher megapixels do bring better photos.
