Dual-lens camera promises better smartphone photos

Dual-lens camera promises better smartphone photos



Although people may speak about zooming in with smartphone cameras, what they're doing isn't actual "zooming" in the telephoto-lens sense of the word. That's because almost all phone cameras just have a digital zoom, meaning that in order to get in closer on the subject, the phone just enlarges the pixels from the middle of the frame. The result is a grainy, crappy photo. While it is possible to squeeze optical zoom lenses into phones, Tel Aviv University spinoff company Corephotonics has developed a sleeker solution, that utilizes the combined output of two compact lenses.


In order to accommodate the camera, phones reportedly require a decent amount of processing power, but nothing excessive. In fact, the system has been demonstrated with a processor "that is currently used in most high-end smartphones on the market."

Mendlovic states that a phone featuring the technology should be hitting the market in the first quarter of next year.

It should be noted, incidentally, that the Corephotonics system is unrelated to the dual-rear-camera-packing HTC One (M8) smartphone, which features one regular optical camera and one depth-sensing camera.
