Happy to see a company willing to stop the constant march of increasing megapixel count at the cost of smaller photon sites and worse signal-to-noise. (The HTC One has a 4MP camera, with physical pixels twice as large as competing sensors.)

It will be interesting to see how well they can market the benefits of a 4 MP camera over 8+ MP cameras on other smartphones.

I know that more pixels does not always make for a better camera, but I think the perception from the general public would be that higher = better.

Quite a bold move on their part.

I'm interested to see how this compares to the pixel binning on the iPhone 5.
