Sony Ericsson S006 phone gets 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor

Sony Ericsson has certainly outdone itself with the S006 smartphone from KDDI, where it will boast a massive 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, catering to those who think that “more is better”. Digital photography doesn’t work that way though, but at least it gives you some bragging rights among your less informed mates. Other specifications of the S006 include the proprietary Exmor R image engine, the ability to achieve ISO 12800, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, Wi-Fi connectivity, an integrated FM tuner, GPS navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and a 3.3-inch display with VGA resolution. No idea on pricing, but don’t expect to see this hit the US anytime soon.
