But for the moment, it is time for a small history lesson. One of the key moments in the evolution of camera phones was the debut of the Nokia N95 phone, released in 2007. At that moment, the phone seemed like the only device in its category able to replace the point and shoot camera. Well, today we enjoy the comfort and benefits of terminals such as the Nokia N8 and its 12 megapixel sensor. But now in 2011, it seems that Toshiba wants a new revolutionary moment to impress the world…
Toshiba has just announced a new 8 megapixel CMOS sensor, which uses only pixels with a size of 1.12 micrometers. A very interesting question ponders though. Will this new technology tempt those from Apple, given the rumors that the iPhone 5 will use an 8 megapixel camera? It will be very interesting to see how it will pan out in the future. Returning to the photo sensor of the Asian company, it is based on the BSI (Back-Side Illumination) technology, which will generate great photographs in conditions with low light.
In addition, the 1.4-inch sensor has relatively small dimensions that can be easily incorporated into a terminal as thin or thinner as the Samsung Galaxy S II (8.5 mm). You should keep one aspect in mind though. Nowadays, the battle between phones cameras is not only reduced to the number of megapixels and Apple knows it best. Just look at the success of the iPhone 4, one of the most popular devices which are used to craft the photos on Flickr.
Of course megapixels aren’t the most important feature of a phone’s camera. In my opinion, I’d replace the number of the megapixels in favor of a more advanced sensitivity to light and a correct capture of the colors… what is your take on the subject?
