The sensor quality and lens aperture trumps Megapixels in terms of grainy pics and color accuracy. It's funny you talk about common sense. There are high MP camera's that take very average pics and some are horrible.

          To double the QUALITY of an 8MP pic btw - you actually need well over 30 Megapixels. And cropping is a lame reason for high MP. It proves you should be either closer to your target
          -OR- using a real camera with zoom lense... I mean if this is all you do: crop pics to enlarge .. haha.. you have way more time then in the world taking shots that often need to be cropped to this degree ..

IMHO most people dont even fully utilize the features of their smartphone. Anyone who has any smartphone is holding a super computer in their hand and funny thing is its used mostly for texting. Turn off LTE, Cellular and Wifi and see how fast all those awesome features become pretty dull. In essence a smartphone is only a glorified communication device, an internet appliance. Only now they gotta market all this stuff to convince you to blow your dollars on a new phone to replace one you just bought - and could pretty much do with the old the same as with the new - only now its just bragging on specs.. there is more to life then bragging on specs

              happy day's my SGN4 has arrived and I have my galaxy note 4 in my hands, and I can safely say there is absolutely no GAP between the metal frame and the screen, I repeat NO GAP ! It's simply stunning and of high quality so chew on that Apple losers.

                AnonD-204551, 16 Oct 2014$5k and up for an UHD TV? Maybe 2 years ago, but today you ... moreFirst I'll say - Yeah prices have come down, but its still not enough for the average consumer in a world economy that is getting worse. Your typical 1080p HD tv's didnt start flying off the shelves ( around 7 yrs ago ) till 40 inch models were around $500.00..

                But I want to make a valid point: Right now the "cheap" Name brand UHD models like LG are all smaller screens for the type of use. Selling 49 inch models around $1300.. with the 55 inch jumping to $1800 is still high for the avg consumer.

                Here's the main point: The above models don't make UHD "worth it", IMHO .. In order to see that many pixels on a screen that small you need to be very close for a smaller tv.. or have a large screen further out.

                This is why pixel density in screens is relative to use. Most experts agree a person with 20/20 vision will be hard pressed to see over 400 dpi at 10-12 inches from your face. They can see subtle differences, but it gets hard to distingiush certain colors like red.

                A typical 1080p smartphone screen is viewed at 12 inches and has a higher dpi of 350 to 500+ .. Converse to that a 1080 HD TV is viewed at 5 to 10 feet and has much lower dpi of 150 to 200 ..

                I've noticed some UHD TV 4k screen look like shit up close anyways.. I wouldnt buy a "smaller" UHD 4k screen.

                If you're going to get a UHD TV thats "worth it" you need a 70 inch that really takes advantage of pixels spread out over a bigger viewing area.. a 79 inch UHD 4K screen is still around $6 to $8 grand for the time being..

                          Like Apple, Samsung design is getting boring. I am a fan of Samsung, but I am looking forward to their concept design. A tablet that folds including the screen (fold-able screen) or the one that rolls out. If they could curve a screen upto one edge then why not make a screen from end to end. Zero bezel pone. That would be great!

                              Some people put too much emphasis on camera megapixels, that is true, but I wouldn't want anything lower than 10MP. Remember, you might keep these photos for decades, so don't you want to see good detail in the photos when you're showing them to your grandkids on their SuperUltraMegaHD retina-implants?
