The Sony PicoP engine resolution is 720 * 1920 = 1,382,400.
1.4MP if you do any rounding.
It's interesting -- although I'm still very dubious about it being what they claim it is.

Sensors used in the new camera will be able to perform depth of field calculations using a dedicated Infrared transmitter and receiver. According to Mr. Ming, the camera will be produced by Sony with Foxconn's Sharp supplying the infrared receivers. IR signals are sent out from the phone, and then are bounced off objects and are detected using the 1.4MP IR receiver. The report adds that Apple will add 3D sensing rear-facing cameras in 2018 models and beyond. This would allow Apple to get rid of the large dual-camera system found on the Apple iPhone 7 Plus. With Apple well ahead of Android in 3D camera algorithms, according to the KGI analyst, the new technology could be unique to the iPhone for some time.

Extra Slim Phones??
Apple had an issue with bending phones. The way we use phones would make it seem as though beyond a certain point a thinner phone isn't beneficial -- it will even get uncomfortable to hold.
Yet a thicker phone doesn't really discourage users.
When screen size wasn't an issue, the popular phones were thicker, but took up a smaller area.
So, today when this report from Kuo appears that Apple is working on the thinnest phone ever, it got me wondering what is too thin.
Then I remembered this image: (From This Post)
That doesn't look like a projector IN a phone, that looks like a projector ON a phone.
Projector ON a phone will be better in the early stages than a projector IN a phone. ON a phone would allow MicroVision to sell to users of ALL phones. Apple, Samsung, HTC, SONY... everyone. That would be a much better -- and it will be easier to be an accessory for a THIN phone.
So, a super thin Phone -- with a thin projector attached. That's doable. When it was announced in February 2014, the SONY module was listed as 7.2mm Thick. (Here). If we can anticipate that a new module would be a minimal improvement, we could have a phone + projector sled (like the picture above) that is about 1.4 Centimeters thick. Just a little more than the first iPhone.
One way or another, I think pictures similar to the one above are going to become common.

According to his research note, another duo of 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch phones is in the works for next year. The 4.7-inch iPhone 7 is expected to have 2GB of RAM, while the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus is expected to attain another gigabyte of RAM for enhanced performance. Both phones, however, will run on Apple's next-gen mobile processor, the A10.
Moreover, the analyst mentions a revamped external design. Although Kuo isn't in on specific details, he previously claimed that Apple is aiming to make the iPhone 7 as thin as 0.23in (6 millimeters). This is even thinner than the preciously slim iPod Touch and iPad Air 2.
