New camera format: what makes smartphone makers surprised

0
An uncompromising struggle continues to grow in the mobile gadget industry, which “motivates” manufacturers to search for original solutions. So, the smartphones presented on the eve allowed a different look at the camera format, giving users new opportunities in terms of photo and video shooting.





Let's start with the "budget flagship" from the Korean giant Samsung. The Galaxy A80 seems to have forever solved the problem with the limited capabilities of selfie cameras. The device acquired both a retractable and a swivel mechanism. So, leaving at the top of the device, the module with photosensors can rotate, performing the role of both the main and the front camera.


The first of the three sensors received a resolution of 48 megapixels. The second - 8-megapixel has a wide-angle lens, and the third - ToF is designed to determine the depth of scenes and blur the background on the video. “At the level” is the filling. The smartphone has acquired a Snapdragon 710 chip and 8 GB of RAM. As a result, users will receive a fairly powerful camera phone at a price of about 50000 rubles.

Another nominee for the title of “most original camera” was the flagship from Oppo presented on the eve. The Reno 10x Zoom Edition has a three-module rear camera, where the 13-megapixel sensor received periscopic zoom, the 8 megapixel module acquired an ultra-wide (120 °) lens, and the main sensor shoots with a resolution of 48 megapixels.


The device has the ability to 10-fold hybrid zoom with the capture of the focal length from 16 mm to 16 mm. In addition, 48-megapixel and 13-megapixel sensors are equipped with laser autofocus and optical stabilization. And recording video in 4K format occurs at a speed of 60 fps.


But that is not all. Special attention in the Reno 10x Zoom Edition deserves a 16-megapixel selfie camera, which "pops up" in the upper part along with a wedge-shaped module and "can" automatically hide in the event of a device fall. At the same time, the developers are so confident in the reliability of the mechanism that they give a 5-year guarantee, which provides for opening the front camera a hundred times a day.
