For further information from dpreview, it "will output 3, 5MP or 8MP
stills" as "it oversamples the image and then pixel-bins down to a
smaller size (though there is a special 'creative' shooting mode if
you want the full resolution - 38MP at 4:3 aspect ratio, 36MP at
16:9)". Similarly, it "can offer a roughly 2.8x 'zoom,' while
maintaining 5MP output, despite having a fixed lens". The article is
here:

So it is not really a mobile phone looking for the most MPs for
bragging rights, but more using the big MP sensor to solve some mobile
phone camera limitations.

Cheers,
Marc
