I hope 16 megs is where mega pixel race stops.

They really need to bring back lens covers to phones as they really did protect the lens. I dont care if doesnt look cool Sony dont need to look like every other brand out there and be different!

I haven't seen an SE cameraphone with an ugly lens cover but then again dual front design is dead until Sony realizes that this is one of SE's main points for differentiation

I don't mind if we see 24.6MP camera in a phone, for as long as the technology for light sensitivity and signal processing constantly improves, besides we have ultra fast processors and ultra high density storages now so restricting ourselves to what we deem as "enough" will be counterproductive to the constantly evolving technology world. for example we may live in 80s and say we don't need digital images since film cameras were enough for everything a photographer needs.

There is no real use for a 16 megapixel sensor with the exact same quality as one with 12 megapixels. The only thing you will achieve is a larger file size which requires more storage capacity. Pixel peepers that like to stare at images at 100% magnification will of course see differences. Most people will use the file as it is, without cropping the image to take advantage of the extra pixels. In the near future, I think we will see more specialized phones with better photo quality than the rest, but I do think most phones will have a image resolution of 8-12 megapixels. I also think ISO sensitivity will become more important sales argument for future camera phones.

You only really need larger mega pixels for printing big. A good example of excellent image quality at just 5 mega pixels is the Samsung Wave II. So you don't always need more mega pixels.

Nope I don't mean it that way, just like you I wanted Sony to revive dualfront design and bring back lens covers on cameraphones

On the other hand, if they develop a camera with like 50+ megapixels, they could just advertise it as 10MP instead and say it has 10x optical zoom (however the maths works out) so you'd use the rest of the resolution to allow zooming in without enlarging the pixels...
