Confirms 1/1.2'' sensor size. Approximately 2.5 times larger sensor than the one in the Nokia N8.

"...And in good light, visual noise is virtually non-existent...." - well of course, but it's not about good light, it's about bad light.

Forget about comparing that sensor to other phones, that sensor size is significantly bigger than a lot of enthusiast P/S cameras like my X10 (2/3 or 1/1.5). Heck, it's almost as big as a Nikon CX sensor.

Even with only 5MP images, I would expect that the images would be stunning, especially considering that they're coming out of a phone. A phone!

Hot damn, nice work, Nokia.
