It seems to me that they went backwards on the sensor size--which, I think, is probably the most important thing for cameras next to the lens. The Nokia 808 had a 1/1.2" sensor. I was hoping the next iteration of the Nokia would have a 1" sensor.

Aren't bigger sensors generally better quality when it comes to cameras? 41mp in a tiny sensor is lousy, those pixels need to be big enough to capture quality light.

You're correct
