I know it is 1/2.3", but 4K on smartphones is coming now:

Just read that yesterday. These guys seem to think it will make its way into the next iPhone.

Maybe tablets, but I don't even wanna know the size of cellphone that a 1/2.3" could fit in. I mean, the lens thickness alone would be heinous...

Nokia N8 & 808 size should be enough, since they use 1/1.8" & 1/1.2 sensors.

4K video requires tons of processing power, 4K RT de-bayer and compression even more, and cell phones are still unable to process proper 1080p.

Pfft The Nokia 808 has an *8k* sensor on board.

The resolution war is not going to last long. That's why we need better low light and a %$#load of dynamic range.
