4K with 40MP? That’s gonna be pixel binning quadbayer so pixel size comparison doesn’t hold in some situation, extreme lowlight photo yes it will be worse but in video, I doubt it, probably better than GP due to it acts like 10MP sensor
With 40mp sensor it can also genrate 8k, lets wait for the official announcement
