Exactly a year after developing the 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor for cellphones, Sony Ericsson has introduced the same in the form of S006 smartphone. This is a substantial jump from the current 12MP ceiling for cellphone cameras. With value for money brands incorporating 12MP cameras, this jump in pixel density gives Sony Ericsson a much needed edge in the high-end phone market.
The CMOS sensor on the S006 includes proprietary Exmor R image engine which is capable of ISO 12800 sensitivity levels. Also on the cards is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, inbuilt FM, GPS navigation enabled by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor mated to Sony Ericcson's own mobile OS.

Now we just have to wait for them sample pics to see how this performs.
Some reviews are already dissing it about memory usage for such large pictures but they never mention that 16MP is a Maximum Size and that there are normally smaller pictures size options available.

It's phone will offer in Europe or only for networks of DoCoMo? I do not expect wonders from him because 16mp in little 1/2.8" sensor is very funny
Optics will need to be a high level, so not to repeat history with worse Nokia N8 optics [ This Message was edited by: Sassho on 2010-10-19 12:27 ]

It has a beautiful backside but what about the front?
Is it real? SE own OS ? I'd like that
Edit. I found the stunning screen and keys (slider) in Keitai corner

SE own OS ?
Oh fantastic!!! I want it!!!
Posted by mriley
So they haven't stopped the Cyber-Shot range
Very strange that it doesn't have a xenon flash....
Posted by Bonovox
Please let it be Sony Ericsson OS but yeah why no proper flash and 16 meg. Slight over kill
Posted by hihihans
This flash is better. Brighter as Xenon and can be used for video as well. Plus it's smaller as Xenon.
8mp is enough though.
Posted by mriley
It should have xenon + triple LED like the C901 has. ISO 12800 sensitivity levels? Complete gimmick
Seems like the phone is made for Sony to be the 'best' in the world in camera-phones.
Posted by Bonovox
ISO that high i have that high ISO on my Fuji. But on a mobile. Not a good idea
Posted by xell
hihihans & SimonZ: It runs on Qualcomm's BREW OS as you can see in the specs.
Posted by hihihans
Ah well. It is a beautiful phone.
These translated specs have a lot of blanks.
I'll wait for a real announcement.
Posted by Bonovox
I missed one of the pics on my phone now seeing it on pc it reminds me of an Aino from the front

The only thing it really should is to be Announced

We need a decent normal phone again from Sony Ericsson a decent a2 dumb phone
Posted by fairen
whoa 16mp camera.... and nice design too
Posted by plankgatan
why are some people nagging with no Xenon ???
............................ this new super-LED flashes have same (or sometimes) higher lux-s brightness
(besides, this new LED is way better on Macro and Video recording)...so WHY complaining.
let me explain with a small video sample

Any latest news/info on Sony 16MP phone destined for Japan? Would love to hear some news on the camera performance before we, the rest of the world could actually get on of these 16MP monster.
Thank you in advance.
