Monochrome sensors

I'm looking at this and I can only see one thing:

[...] three are 1.25um monochrome sensors [...]

I don't care at all about the phone but this means someone is making cheap, plentiful, good-quality monochrome sensors, from which someone else could make a not-absurdly-expensive monochrome digital camera. It might be small-sensor but it will be a dedicated monochrome camera for a tiny fraction of the more than £6,000 (much more if you don't have suitable lenses already) that Leica charge for the privilege of owning one.

This is very good news for a very tiny number of people. Perhaps just me.
