Now I can forget the Red EPIC and all related hassle and buy a phone and a lens adapter and make commercials and short movies :)

    4k video, there ynu have it, 808 pureview just got outdated. This is why i hate the current mobile tfchology, it evolves too fast

      This is highly informative and educative. I don't really think smartphone users really need all that in a gadget. It'll only drain the life out of the battery and the phone itself.

        Except 4K2K video, nothing special. 1/2.3" isn't really impressive compared to Nokia 808's 1/1.2" and 1.3 microns pixel size isn't that good neither compared to 1.4 microns of 808, which means that 808's 100% crops will be better than this sensor's 100% crops. Whith the MP advantage and pureview technology we can't say that this will be a threat to 808. About the video recording, pixel binning and resampling isn't new in the mobile phone cameras(808 can do that too.)

              Well ! Hello 4k, not only in cinema's, problem is, people don't still have 55 inch lcd's to play 4k. So start investing in everything now.
