They built the _worst_ multi-tasking screen in history (that stupid cover-flow-like thing where you could see maybe 2 apps on the screen at once), then when no one used it they yanked the multi-taking button because they had data that people don't use the button. Well, people don't use it when...

My S3 takes sharp photos at 1/30 and will drop to 1/15 (regrettably) in low light to take blurry, POS shots. This makes sense since the focal length in these things is 28mm and the rule of thumb is that you want a shutter speed of at least 1/focal length. Nokia advertises 3-stop OIS and Canon's...

I've noticed from EXIF data on some of the early samples that, despite having OIS, the camera never takes the shutter below 1/22. 1/10th should really be about where it is with 3-stop OIS comparable to the Nokia 920, and would really improve low light performance. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Well, no Android phones actually do pixel binning, which is different than just scaling. So, you could say that this sensor would have the same performance as the iPhone 5 in low light (which does do binning), but larger pixels _should_ perform better than multiple binned pixels just because of...
