According to the leaked images of the
forthcoming HTC's M8 smartphone, it has one camera but two different
lenses that can bring some mind boggling imaging features that goes
far beyond imagination and mere 3D.
A new startup technology known as
Corephotonics, Which is a
new concept for smartphone makers focusing on dual-lens. Accorsing to
company's representatives, they are on the verge to finish a specific
module in M8 and they were much anticipated in showing their module's
strenght of image quality.
The technology is "Corephotonics",
which uses two lenses with two different focal lengths. The first
lens is at broader-angle, and the other is at 3x zoom, thus it can
easily be switched to magnify more distant subjects without switching
to digital zoom.
HTC M8: What More To Expect?
While testing the device as shown in
the video above, The comparison of dual-lensese one-by-one using a
smartphone camera, the Corephotonics system generated an image of
13-megapixel regardless of whether it is at 1x or 3x zoom.
Nokia's PureView camera rely only on
digital zoom technology generating a 3x magnified image creating a
drop in resolution. Corephotonics' software provides real-time images
by matching each pixel from one lens with the corresponding pixel
from the other lens, and it also detects that which pixel is closer
to real-time.
If all this things go successfully,
then we will have a technology with real promise and that's it
explains why HTC has drilled an extra hole in the back of M8.
