Uhh ... no.
It's about detail ability.
Sure, you can produce a sub par huge file...so what?
But it takes a TREMENDOUS lens to produce 100MP of DETAIL.
The Sony 600mm F4 can resolve 100MP of detail.....13 grand.
I can guarantee you no phone lens anywhere can get near what the 100MP sensor can accept.

Look in the mirror, dear boy. There lies my reason for saying that.

I was not speaking about cell phones or their cameras. I was speaking about the pointless megapixel race that we seem to suffer again and again. And I was not promoting DSLR's as the answer. I own and use one, two bridge cameras, and own and use two mirrorless cameras as well, and am pleased with the results from all. I have said on this forum repeatably that the days of the DSLR are numbered.
That was said about rangefinder cameras, view cameras, and twin lens reflex. They all are still here being used. Will mirrorless drive nearly all extinct? Very probably. Completely? Probably not as the pentaprism viewfinder has a speed advantage that will persist for a long time. So I expect pro pentaprism cameras to remain around for quite some time. At least until some manages to create a camera with both.

With that many pixels they probably will be able to count pores also. At some point more MP will be counter-productive - the software will have to become smart enough to fix the problems the sensor inadvertently causes.OMG So many likes on my selfie -- thx y'all -- and all you vegans telling me what type of lettuce is showing in my teeth. yumyum
