But, it seems, the world has not learnt, as the Samsung Pixon 12 proves to us all too well. With its 12 megapixels of camera-light-receivingness strapped onto its chest, the Pixon 12 is a veritable human bomber of a phone, out to make a statement and attract lots of attention but, all in all, being little more than a worked up show-off. And why is that? Well, as with most of these idiots, there ideas can be disproved via a series of very short, very simple, and utterly infallible facts. Such as

1. More megapixels does not = better pictures
2. More megapixels only = better pictures when spread across the far, far larger light-receiving sensors of, say, a real camera
3. The only thing more megapixels definitely = is more megabytes in the file size created

However, the world being as it is we don’t doubt that many millions are going to be conned into disagreeing with all of the above, listening to raving lunatics and boldly showing off their new Pixon 12 in many a pub around the world come it’s release date. The sad thing is it’s not a bad phone in its own right, as this Samsung Pixon 12 review tells you, but oh well, we’re off to go and join the hari krishnas and preach peace and love and happiness to all men.
