Those actual camera with one sensor comes with interchangeble lens everytime u want to use different of FL. So u want to bring extra lens? Protruding lens bump after attach the telephoto lens? Bring a bag? Good luck with that.

    Even if someone makes sensor with same specs of one from 2012, performance is much better. By huge margin.

                But I'm reportedly not presenting many real improvements over RGB, so we'll see how OPPO, VIVO and Samsung implement it.

                              To display all 255MP one will need ~69 phones! Resulting display will be ~56 inch!!!

                                    I don't even have to zoom in 100% onto their images to disagree with you on this. Mi11U utilises its big sensor properly and it really shows in its overall processing style - natural detail rendition during the day, good HDR processing without distracting artifacts, and low light photos look very RAW-like as long as you don't use a night mode.

                                      Probably some phones shall have wrgb for all cameras
