> Where are the 16mp phones ?
Bookmark topic
I've had a Sony Satio for a while & love the camera. I cant believe all the latest phones only have 8mega pixels. Where are the 16 mps ?? (with real flash & video light)
:clapping:

You (and everybody else) probably don't need the extra pixels. It is possible cheaper to develop a better "low" resolution sensor than adding more pixels and deal with the noise coming with it. I do think we will see slightly higher camera resolutions in the future, but as we have seen with dedicated still cameras, the megapixel race is over for now.
It has stopped at 14 MP.

Plus don't the sensors have to get bigger and thus the phone itself has to get bigger (thicker)?

So TURE!!! something like 98.5% of cell phone users have NEVER printed a picture from their phone and 5 or 8mp is way good enough for an 8x10 print or in some cases 11x14.... Its just not necessary.

exactly, Its (imo) more logical that well see better CMOS sensors with higher IQ and better low light/long exposure abilities before the big cell phone makers start chasing anything beyond 12mp.... if ever... again, its just not necessary.

Actually some still cameras are at the 24mp+ range and some medium format cameras are more than 50mp.... but this is for a professional application where higher resolution is necessary... I'd actually be VERY VERY surprised if we don't see
Light field technology or 3D capture in cell phones before we even get close to 16mp.

What @skblakee said, there's a good reason why even point&shoot compact digicams like the Canon Ixus 115 can take much better shots (specially in low light) than any phone camera - it all boils down to the sensors.

To be quite honest it does freez up alot but the camera is awesome and i have put it on a computer i have even printed the phonto's and they are great no problems with the camera, i think it is a great phone the only problem is it freezing up and that only happens when i charge the phone for too long!

I sense you're trying to justify Symbian's faults. Don't.
It's a horrid OS that I am glad is dead.

A 16 meg camera in a phone is just overkill.

IMO even my 12mp N8 (as much as I love it) is also overkill.... I really think that phones should stop somewhere around 5 or 8mp and concentrate on longer battery life, better optics more manual control or somthing else Im not even thinking of. ... ... ... but thats just me, I guess. Heck, if I want really sharp pictures Ill use my DSLR.
