A. and that it has 20 million more pixels than any other smartphone with a camera
Use of AND conveys the meaning that Engadget did 2 different things, but this is not the intended meaning of the sentence. In fact Engadget did only 1 thing. Thus Incorrect. I won't say that "IT" is ambiguous coz logically neither a company nor a brand name can have pixels.
B. and it has 20 million more pixels when compared to any other smartphone’s camera
Use of AND conveys the meaning that Engadget did 2 different things, but this is not the intended meaning of the sentence. In fact Engadget did only 1 thing. "Use of "WHEN" is incorrect. Such use means that Lumia has more pixels ONLY when we compare it to other smartphones. If we don't compare then it doesn't have more pixels. Thus Incorrect. I won't say that "IT" is ambiguous coz logically neither a company nor a brand name can have pixels.
C. having 20 million more pixels than any other camera in any other smartphone
Use of Comma before HAVING is incorrect because it would mean that "Having....smartphone" is modifying the entire clause rather than the camera. Moreover, there is no need to use "Any other". Thus Incorrect
D. a camera that has 20 million more pixels than a camera in any other smartphone
CORRECT
E. a camera with 20 million more pixels than any other smartphone with camera
This option is incorrect as it compare a camera to a smartphone.
