Toshiba and Samsung start 13 mpx camera CMOS sensor production. With Sony monopoly lifted, megapixel war resumes

Do you know why we have so few 13 megapixel smartphones so far. And why even major smartphone OEMs have to reduce camera resolution to 8 megapixels in everything except flagships. See Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, or Sony's Xperia Z Ultra. It's because up until recently, nobody except Sony was able to produce a good enough quality 13 megapixel camera sensor chips in volume. And even Sony themselves couldn't make enough of them, to satisfy all the demand. So they could keep 13 mpx camera sensor price pretty high, affordable on only the most expensive devices.

But things are about to change soon.
