Samsung couldn’t put a 13 MP camera on the Note II because of Sony’s production issues
The Note II’s already got some amazing specs, but on the one front that some might have been disappointed has been Samsung putting “only” an 8MP shooter on it. That’s primarily because the rumors pointed towards the possibility of a 12 or 13 megapixel camera. IntoMobile is reporting today that the decision wasn’t really about cutting costs or something, but rather an issue on Sony’s side, with the Japanese CE giant unable to provide sufficient CMOS sensors to Samsung.
