It's 4800x3600, so 17 MP.

Also, who says megapixels don't matter? Of course they matter, but for a normal image for a normal purpose, it doesn't matter whether you have 10, 20 or 50 MP.

They used to say it was no problem when many flagship phones went from 20 or 16 mp to 12mp. But anything beyond 5 meters is noticably less detailed with 12mp relative to 20mp and beyond.

Phone cameras didn't get worse when they went from 20 to 16 MP. You'll have more detail in a picture from a good 16 MP lens, than you'll have in a picture from a shitty 20 MP lens. And the fact is that before they started chilling with the MPs in phone cameras, all they used as a selling point was MP, which meant that that's the only feature they truly focused on, and the results were honestly shit.
