ckhelvin: It pains me so much on how we are dwelling more on spec on papers..al dis r gimmicky features coz having an higher resolution doesn't mean u avin a higher pixel size..lemme explain!., samsung uses 16MP resolution with a size if 1.1micron which can never be compared with iPhone using 8MP with 1.5micron size which is also accompany with an aperture of f/2.2 given it edge to take a superb pix..wat u guys fail to know us that it doesn't necessarily means the amount of pixel resolution bin used buh the research bin adopted in the camera feature of dos smartphone and the ugly fact is that the iPhone beat any smartphone to that .. |

My problem with topics concerning phones and computer analyst this days are most youth are either company or self employed marketers, its then hard to detects who's truly analyzing base on facts and not market strategies. From the point you just made @ op we should check specification not just for mega pixel but pay more attention quality of the lens, shutter speed, image processing technology, circuitry and sensor —but the only specification that is notable is the megapixel. Lastly how on earth is 8mp better than 16mp? |

Wow, what a news! Apple retained the 8mp on their iPhone 6 to put the megapixels battle to shame.. Sarcasm tho Apple retained a lot of things from their previous iPhone sadly they didn't retain the 3.5" of iPhone 4 since Steve jobs of blessed memory pointed that no human will use a phone that's bigger than the iPhone 4 and they have gone as big as 5.5" on the iPhone 6 plus, maybe one day they will use 13mp , 16mp or even 20mp on their flagship and I wonder where this comment of "number of pixel doesn't count would be put to". Truly number of pixels doesn't transmit to picture quality but when OEMs put more megapixels on their phones they go further into tweaking it software wise so that the resulting images will not just be bigger in size with more details but also with better quality images compared to your 8mp. A picture taken with a 16mp will not start losing details at say 2X zoom but your 8mp will. Apple will continue to sell outdated tech to their crazy ifans at a very insane price but it's none of my business. I want value for my money when I'm paying for anything and an apple product isn't one. 2 Likes |

One day you will see more Ram on iPhone and you will eat your words. |

Agbi4: That's exactly the point... Apple keep tweaking their Camera App to achieve clear and good picture and forget that the quality of the picture also matters too... Believe me if you can port exactly the Camera App of iPhone 6 on iOS 8 to iPhone 4s and take a picture with it and view both of them side by side with a PC... Believe me you can't stop the difference.... And if you should port it to other devices like Sony or Samsung with 16 to 20mp, it's going to compete with advanced Nikon or Sony digital cameras |

martineverest: note the diff. btw display resolution and picture resolution.what u wa tchd was display not pix resolution.s5 has ppi of 423 and iphone 6 is 342..s5>iphone 6.....clearer pix is determindd by sensor size nd not pix resolution.any camera with more than 8mp is a waste,cos u are not printing a stadium size pix.megapixel means more pic resoultion |
Re: Megapixels Are So Overrated: Thanks To The iPhone 6 by KemoSabe: 3:15pm On Sep 22, 2014 |
definately agree with OP about overrated MP, but, the pix from the iphone 5 does look a little richer than that of the 6 if u ask me. Check my signature below for new iphone 6 out in Naija stores in all variants + price & review the specs. |

patmaine: I support the op..because even my HTC one is 4 mega pixel...I 've come to realize it's not how big ur megapixel is... Mega pixels doesn't mean clearness of the picture.... But quality of the picture itself When you zoom picture 2 to 4 times you get blur pictures but with more pixels you can zoom 10 times without affecting the actual quality of the picture.... (i.e your picture will still look sharp and crisp) Note: HTC One uses different technology known as Ultra Mega pixel not just a mega pixel 1 Like |

What is the essence of cutting down the spec while the price is still exorbitant.I believe s5 camera is quiet okay for majority even s4 camera. About the issue of smoothness, you can't compare a 2k resolution to an HD resolution the former has more pixels to move than the latter. just imagine it this way, with the over hype iPhone6 spec let it be running on Android OS it wouldn't be smooth like in iOS 1 Like |
