Despite the sensor being native 16:9 the focal length is still narrow at 31mm (35mm equivalent) .. I was expecting much better. The iPhone 5 is at 33mm.. so not that big of a difference.
The Z2 is at 28mm and the Nokia's are at 26 .. even down to 25mm with the 1020. Hoping the new iPhone is at least az wide as the Z2..
But if you are wondering why Sony is having more issues with their optics compared to Samsung, that's why, they are trying to do more with them...

On a side note it seems that Samsung are putting a 16mp Sony sensor with OIS in the Note 4.
Very interesting, why no ISOCELL sensor?

I'm going to guess it's due to Samsung wanting to keep the 16MP ISOCELL to the S5, the Note range has never really excelled at Imaging, just compare the Note 3 to S4, especially the S4 Exynos Octa. It could also be due to production costs overall etc...
I was hoping the Note 4 would use the ISOCELL.

I'm guessing Samsung will put a 20mp ISOCELL camera in the S6? Maybe the ISOCELL is just for the S series, I really thought ISOCELL would be in the Note 4 though.

As mentioned a few pages back the Galaxy Alpha isn't going to be cheap, O2UK have officially announced their prices
Unlimited calls & text and only 1GB of data @ £38 p/m, ouch that's expensive.

Agreed that this phone is way too overpriced. Maybe Samsung wants to make people think that S5 is a bargain?😄

So for the first time we get to see the official spec of both the Galaxy Alpha and the Z3C side by side. It's amazing how similar they are in certain aspects so an actual head to head will be something to lookout for.

Preordered one of these after a rather pleasant session at IFA, where I had the opportunity to play with one for about an hour backstage. Definitely charming and the first Samsung I don't consider utter crap in a while regarding look&feel.
Regarding the Z3c, it's similar but entirely different for some reasons, the Alpha is not water-proof and has a slightly bigger footprint, but the Z3c lacks metal and is thicker.
