It's dubious that including a 12MP camera and/or increasing the storage to 16 GB will do much to increase sale. The 12MP camera is more a marketing gimmick because the image quality will not be great due to the physics of the optics on a small device. The 16 GB is useless if people don't consume media on the phone. Don't get us wrong, we think Samsung is an awesome device maker. We just think it's stuck in a little bit of a rut right now competing with Apple in the absence of a good operating system platform.
