Do you understand the difference between what exists today, and what "Samsung is aiming to one day make a 600-megapixel sensor", as your cited article states?
Apparently not.

Worse, the finer your pixel array, the more overhead you have, which reduces light sensitivity. And, what's crucial for cell phones, is that it takes more power to process and compress such high-resolution images. And that article points out that it can't currently be used for video or HDR photos.
So, you're going to sacrifice light sensitivity and burn more power for images that are effectively no sharper than one could get with a lower-res sensor, and sacrifice useful features, just for bragging right? Idiocy seems not too strong a word.
