well expect samsung or lg to come out with 20mp camera sensor and they will be the first in the market just so they can say they were first. thats how competitive the korean are right now while japanese companies have already lose their mojos.

I am wondering which interface will support 17.7MP with 34.8Gbps in mobile???

Android or ios sure!

Hmm, 17.7 MP camera but still a small sensor wouldn't innovate anything since a 12 MP of Nokia N8-00 changes it. Even at 12 MP, it can beat an 18 MP DSLR camera with bigger lens.

this lens is designed for mobile phones this is reason of their small size
