41MP Nokia 808 smartphone hints at pixel-binning future for small sensor cameras. I also raised an eyebrow at first reading - 41 megapixels in a phone sounds ridiculous, and Symbian doesn't really sound future-oriented. DPreview takes a closer look at what these 41 megapixels actually mean - the chip is significantly larger, so the pixels aren't really smaller than those in normal 8-megapixel phone cameras. Multiple pixels are combined to create a typical target image in the 5-8 megapixel range (the full resolution is also available as an option) to improve noise and other artifacts. Therefore, it is most comparable to the Foveon concept, where the pixels are simply placed in front of each other instead of next to each other. However, Symbian is not future-proof regardless of the photo part.
