Even though companies market megapixel only when they boast about the camera of their latest product. It only seems best to attract people with little knowledge about it and get fascinated easily. Often while showing or discussing with people about some smartphone. its amongst the first questions they ask "megapixel kitna hai..............mere phone mein to already itna hai....................phalane phone mein to itna ata hai" Now as far as compact cameras or DSLR are concerned, the manufacturers provide the actual info that matters i.e. Sensor Size The most important factor in determining how good quality pictures you can expect. IMHO it renders the megapixel irrelevant as a phone with 5 mp will perform far greater than one with 8mp if the sensor size is greater. But after searching for various reviews I havent found sufficient data to compare this particualr specification in phones. Just came across this site http://cameraimagesensor.com/size/ that too is limited to the few topnotch phones by apple, htc and samsung. Does anyone know of any software that can extract this detail from exif data? I am not sure if its even embedded in the exif. But it would be great to know while purchasing a new phone and taking pictures matters to you. Like i totally depend on my photon when i travel and take all my pics & videos from it only. You can check me you-tube as well. This thread is to discuss any info known about sensor size in mobile phones. Or anything relevant to it or development.
