Processing all that data to spit out a pretty image is going to require a lot of resources. I can imagine such a sensor making sense for computer vision. Where it's not about pretty pictures. For taking pictures, I prefer something that doesn't have to draw its interpretation of the scene, but rather captures it and leaves any enhancement to my judgement.
Then again I believe the crux of the matter is Samsung Mobile's inability to utilize the sensor to the maximum potential, instead of Samsung S.LSI inability to deliver sensor performance matching Sony's.
When you realize that "4k" video is about 8 Mpx, it shows the scale of ridiculousness. If they were planning a 600 Mpx medium format camera, I would be interested. It's still a big challenge. But a phone camera? How much space is single picture going to take?
