Samsung just developed an 8 megapixel CMOS camera module for mobile phones. The product has small sizes, which makes it excellent for being packed in the slim cases of its most evolved handsets.
The new 87 megapixel camera comes at the sizes of 10.5mm x 11.5mm x 9.4mm and it also includes autofocus. This should considerably
improve the capture quality, bringing this device even closer to what digital cameras are capable of providing. The company will use PIEZO technology in the production of this tiny camera module.
Samsung looks to set the standards for mobile phone cameras even higher. The company might just manage to raise the bar up even higher, now that the
5 megapixel performance in mobile phone cameras is no longer an exception. Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung have all released at least one mobile phone capable of bringing this quality and this has made it possible for one of them to stand out.
Still, Samsung will break no record with this future 8-megapixel camera phone. If it had done it, it would have been its record to break, anyway. This handset producer has already released a mobile phone packed with such an evolved feature. It came in the shape of the SCH-V8200 handset, about two years ago.
Still, this is not the record with camera phones. The same producer brought out on the Korean market only the SCH-B600 handset with a stunning performance of 10 megapixels. The only thing that could make the future mobile phone to pack this 8 mpx camera more special than all previous ones would be a global release, not just a local one, as it happened before.
Samsung wastes no time and looks to start mass production of a mobile phone equipped with this new 8-megapixel camera in the first half of next year.
