Not because it's not for everyone does not mean "no one is gonna buy it". You're just not part of their target market.

            And as usual noone will buy it. By the way, 1” sensors require aggressive noise reduction, which Sony does anyway, and the results is the same - Sony-like photos. Got a micro 4/3 mirrorless that is a lot bigger than 1”, it bridges the gap to aps-c, but im not using it due to high iso noise. 1” requires very long exposure to give good photos, much longer than a sensor-shift stabilizer can provide. I had to get a fullframe Nikon to produce noise-free photos.

                    Even the sensor used by Pixel 1 is capable of 12bit raw photo (cpu lacks support).
                    Check exmor on wiki, you can see how many of them support 12bit.

                        If the same phone with all those camera features rebranded as Samsung, most likely nobody will be against it. And I don't know why...

Or even after you take the pictures, edit the shadows and saturation. The point is you get much more data thanks to software photography. Sony phones sure, you can change saturation and exposure, but it will be limited because the data captured is less
