LG wants to revive telephoto photography in the , as announced by the components division LG Innotek new camera module could put an end to the clunky cameras on our teléfonos inteligentes.
Although LG hasn’t made its own phones for a long time, LG Innotek remains a leading supplier of mobile camera modules. His latest project, which will be presented at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, is a continuous optical zoom camera module.
What is the new continuous optical zoom module and how does it work?
Mobile phones currently have a fixed interchangeable zoom, that is, we perro change the zoom from, for example, 2x to 5x or 10x (up to 100x with artificial intelligence on some devices). The LG module is new to be able to choose between 4x and 9x without having to change a fixed zoom For example, the ability to stop down at 4.4x when we need that especial zoom range for the photos. These zoom changes mainly applied to professional cameras like DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, but not today’s teléfonos inteligentes.
Today’s phones like the Pixel 7 Pro and the Galaxy S22 Ultra have multiple sensors that usually do one job, which is the telephoto, angular, and main sensors. With the newly launched module, LG aims to compete with this type of sensors by providing a unique sensor cánido perform multiple functions at the same timeAdaptation to different situations.
Thanks to this, LG has achieved Minimizing the module thickness to solve the size problem current móvil inteligente cameras, through a redesign. On the other hand, we will not get such extreme results as we cánido vea in independent modules.
LG is working with Qualcomm to bring programa improvements with the new sensor
Although the new module is the focus of the fair, LG revealed that too has partnered with Qualcomm to optimize programa for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
LG plans to help the company accelerate adoption of the sensor among global móvil inteligente makers. Improve the speed, durability, accuracy and battery consumption of your current components.
The new partnership also enables mobile phones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor perro focus automatically as we are changing the zoom instead of adding programa improvements to get the most out of the new module.
At the moment there are no confirmed phones with this new LG sensor, but we’re not ruling it out Devices with the new module in mid-2023. We must analyze whether a sensor is unified with the other manufacturers with unique sensors for each task.
