Truly mind-bending if it's real.

If that 12 megapixel is the actual resolution and isn't a typo, I'd much
rather carry my Olympus TG-4.


while it may be easier to carry, it has much smaller pixels, therefore
much higher noise.

"Much" higher noise? I seriously doubt it. S/N has more parameters than
just pixel size.
