LG Nexus camera speculation

[Cakefish]

I'm wondering how the rumoured camera specifications compare to existing devices, particularly the new Moto X phones.

(rumoured LG Nexus) Sony IMX278; 13MP RGBW 1/3.06" sensor with F1.8 aperture and OIS.

(confirmed Moto X) Sony IMX230; 21MP RGB 1/2.4" stacked sensor with F2.0 aperture and PDAF*.

*Style/Pure edition only

On the one hand the Nexus is rumoured to have a larger aperture and OIS but on the other hand the actual physical sensor of the Moto phones is quite a bit larger. Neither brand has a good track record of decent camera software. I'm wondering which will win out in terms of low-light photography...

Well, we won't know until both devices are put tithe test. Specs can always appear good on paper... But software is just as important since it makes everything work.
