And even though the pixel count doubled from 2 million to 4 million in the WQHD sensor - which results in a much smaller area per pixel to collect light - the sensitivity increase of the SONY STARVIS sensor leads to crisp images in extreme low light. Allowing you spot details that were hidden in sensor noise with the Full HD cameras:
