Is it a smartphone with a camera or a camera with a phone? - 41-megapixel camera?

I still wouldn't suggest throwing your phones out of a driving vehicle

@John, 450€ seems like a cheap deal. Newer top-model phones easily sell for that amount of money. Anyway it is in the 1100D+18-55 range

At one time I was a Nokia fan. I bought a new Nokia and was talking while driving (bad boy), accidently slipped and dropped it out the window. At 50 miles an hour it bounced and came apart. I stopped and picked it up, put the parts that flew off back on and used it two more years.

The next three Nokia’s I had lasted about four or five months each before they fell apart.
I am no longer a Nokia fan and it will not matter if they have 100mp cameras. They took advantage of their good name and started making junk.

I will keep my iphone.

I still think a scientific study is in order, throwing many different brands of phones out of the window driving at different speeds, to eliminate any statistical errors.
I'll volunteer to be the driver, everyone send me your iphones and i'll happily send them flying at 200km/h :P

And so do the Vinnish?

Thanks guys, that makes sense. At first, I thought is was just the neoclassical version of the theorem, like that big dome across the river from me, with the inscription "Massachvsetts Institvte of Technology."

nice one, thanks Nevro.

(I think we better stop)

I tend not to consider a camera phone decent unless they've gone to some measure to protect the lens. Sony Ericsson were good for that a few years ago.

Zeiss F2.0 lens - interesting. I am looking forward understanding this a bit more.

It's f/2.4, not f/2.0. There was a typo (or rouding) on some of the news stories.

A decent read describing the Nokia's sensor and their oversampling / digital zoom:
