Correct me if I'm wrong, but it exists in a larger scale for things like handycams. I suppose the question is whether it can be miniaturized for phone use, or if some other technique will need to be used.
BTW, on the subject of materials for phones, would magnesium alloy that's used for things like camera bodies have any advantages over aluminum?
Regarding the first point, I reckon it could be theoretically, but it would require some engineering genius. As far as I can see, it may only be possible to have 2-axis, but even then it would be pretty damn good.
Regarding the second point, it would be about the same in terms of durability, just lighter. I'm not a materials scientist though, so don't quote me (seriously, don't do that).

It's not withholding if it's not technically possible. Balanced Optical SteadyShot means moving the entire camera module around in the body. That would mean basically making the whole camera module float in the phone. How do you see that happening?
If you'll get optical stabilization it'll have very little effect anyway, there's only so much you can do at those sizes.

Sony Xperia (Altair) could potentially be the next flagship
By the code name alone I HOPE not! Those old enough to recall the Altair - that PC was a failure at birth regardless of the specs!

I can imagine something, but it would be ridiculously difficult to do it. I don't even know if it could be done to be honest, but its an idea.

It may be little, but at the top end, small gains are what make the difference. Plus, it would mean you could have full-res shots that are properly stabilised, as well as complete FOV for stabilised video capture. Not to mention the gains in low-light photography.
Every little helps.

even if it means $200 premium on top of current flagship price due to R&D went into it?

Doesn't necessarily have to be the floating-sensor "Balanced Optical SteadyShot", it could be ANY kind of OIS. Cause it will make a difference. Might not be a night-and-day difference, but it will improve the performance.

BTW, After WMC in 24-27 Feb. is there's any event out there ?
of course beside IFA which is too far in 5-10 Sept.
The event in Shanghai, where Sony introduced Z Ultra and C last year.
