How Smartphone Camera Tech Will Evolve in 2012
Smartphones are often in use accustomed to to take shots in low-light situations, but low-light capture has always been a glaring weak spot. Luckily, Sony recently developed a new CMOS sensor that will take the depress out of shooting stills and video in scenarios where ambient light is lacking.
Sony’s technology includes two features not normally our times in cellphone camera sensors: RGBW Coding (which adds white pixels to the sensor to inflation low-light sensitivity) and built-in HDR video (which shoots two different movies simultaneously, probably at varying ISO levels). The sensor will be available in 8-megapixel and 13-megapixel models toward the mean of this year.
The iPhone 4S currently features an 8-megapixel sensor made by Sony, so it’s unambiguously possible that this new Sony sensor could be tapped for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5.
Sensor extent is generally an important factor in final image quality, and we’ll continue to see sensor technology improving so that smartphones can take better and better images.
