It’s a pretty big sensor, more in the range of a point and shoot camera than the sensors found in phones.
From what I’ve read, as a 41 MP camera, it is pretty bad after some data crunching sampling from that 41 MP, it creates 8 MP pictures that are better than any phone on the market. I didn’t look at the samples so take that for what it’s worth.
That sounds much more realistic. And that's not a bad thing to do, either, but if you're going to do it, don't call it a "41MP camera", say "our 8MP camera blows everyone else's away".
