Now here's a brain teaser - have you actually considered the fact that along with increasing the sensor size they also increased the size of the individual pixels on that sensor? So that increase in sensor size doesn't actually mean that the amount of pixels increased in same ratio as the size.
no need to be offensive bro, i'm only reporting the official specs and i'm assessing a logical consequence of the different specifications. Obviously the device will need some accurate testing to see if the image quality is really better than its predecessor or not but this is another point. And by the way, my brain worked just ok for my mech. eng. PhD few weeks ago, so i guess it still does. Although i can say something stupid and wrong for sure, there are other way to express your different opinion i guess.
Anyway, i know what pixel size is and i know that a 1/2.4" f 1.9 is much better in low light than a 1/2.5" f 2.4 both because the sensor size and the aperture. No matter how big is the pixel. If you are taking a photo at 5 or 8 mpx using over sampling, both the photos will have the same output resolution but the first is taken with a bigger sensor, hence one real pixel of the image will corresponds to a larger area of the sensor (and of course there is also the effect of the aperture). The difference should be even bigger if the photo is taken in a 16:9 format and the 95x series sensor is really a true 16:9 as the full size of the sensor will be used, something that does not happen for the 930 sensor.
Oh and just to let you know, I'm using a Lumia 930 since day one and I'm in no way saying that the 930 sensor is bad.
