This also means that the sensor would be able to gather more light with less crosstalk and signal distortion. According to the source, the 12-megapixel camera that feature

He says that the bezels are super-narrow, which is pretty obvious from the render seen above. The smartphone is said to allow users to slap in two different SIM cards, thanks to dual SIM card slots. It is said to sport a MediaTek MT6752 64-bit octa-core processor with each core clocked at 1.7 GHz coupled with 2 GB of RAM under the hood. It will run Android 5.0 (Lollipop) out of the box.

Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus to sport 12-megapixel cameras, but with smaller pixels?

According to a report from Chinese-speaking Kevin Wang (Weibo), Apple will be increasing the megapixel count of the cameras on board the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus. The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus sport 8-megapixel rear-facing cameras. The report says that the upcoming iPhones will sport 12-megapixel cameras, but with smaller pixels. Kevin Wang, IHS China CEO, said that the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus would sport 12-megapixel rear-facing cameras, which are still less powerful than the 16-megapixel to 20-megapixel cameras found on Android flagships. However, the sensor of these camera modules are said to come with smaller pixels compared to the current 1.5 micron pieces that are in the 8-megapixel units. Increasing the megapixel count of the camera and making the pixel size smaller would make a lot of sense, since today s iPhones seem to get slimmer and slimmer. Smaller pixels, however, could mean less light sucked in by every individual pixel, theoretically speaking
