If you thought the 13MP sensors you�ve seen lately in some Japanese cell phones were enough, think again. Sony today unveiled the 1/2.8-inch back-illuminated Exmor R IMX081PQ CMOS sensor (pictured on the left), which boasts 16.41MP. Needless to say, it�s the first of its kind.
Sony says the first samples will be shipped to yet to be named makers in January next year, costing $30.30.
Look at the comparison shots below to see what the new sensor will mean for us consumers when we get phones with the sensor built in sometime next year:

Sony also announced a 1/3.2-inch sensor with 8.13MP, the IMX105PQ, which will be made available in April 2011 for $18.18. This model is much smaller (height: 5.67mm) and shown on the right in the picture on top of this post.
