Aptina. It's time for the phone camera to grow up

So far, phone cameras are not being taken seriously. Even if we are talking about cameras of very expensive and prestigious smartphone models. But now that Aptina has introduced 12- and 13-megapixel camera sensors for cell phones, the situation may radically change. The question is: will digital soap dishes be needed at all?

DIY movie
No one disputes that professional photographic equipment will be in demand for many years to come. A miracle camera based on new sensors from Aptina will shoot video with a resolution of 4K, that is, 4096 3112 pixels. This is the resolution of a very large modern TV. With a regular smartphone, you can make a real movie in decent quality. There would be a desire and the ability would not fail. After all, the cinematographer's skill sometimes plays a more important role than the quality of the equipment.

The AR1230 sensors will be available on the market in the second or third quarter of 2013. The cameras developed on their basis will have the ability to shoot 1080p video at up to 96 frames per second, and the resolution of traditional videos at 30 frames per second will reach 4K.

New video chat quality
In addition to the AR1230, a camera sensor located on the back panel and designed directly for shooting, Aptina delighted visitors to the Mobile World Congress exhibition with the AR0261 sensor. It will be used to create a new generation of front-facing cameras that will take video chat capabilities to a whole new level. To fully understand the scale of the technological breakthrough, it is enough to note that the resolution supported by the new sensor is 1080p.

Both sensors are based on 1.4-micron technology. Thus, the front-facing camera will have no difficulty shooting video at 60 frames per second in sufficiently high 720p quality.

Aptina promises that its new sensors will be supported by applications that recognize gestures, as well as having the ability to shoot 3D videos. If cameras based on these sensors see the light, then three-dimensional video will become more mobile and closer to the average user.

Unfortunately, not a single company has been named yet that would undertake the production of cameras based on the miracle sensors that Aptina pleased us with. But the sensor itself is not needed by the average user. He's interested in a smartphone or tablet that has a new-generation camera. And that, it seems, is still a long way off.

But the very fact that the industry has taken care of "bringing to mind" the cameras of mobile devices is encouraging. I must say that it is the camera, along with the battery, that remains the weakest point of your favorite mobile devices to this day. In many ways, it is the weak capabilities of the camera that make it difficult to take smartphones seriously as multifunctional devices.

This is also facilitated by the widespread opinion that it is better when the device performs only one function. All together, this creates distrust of "digital combines", especially among conservative users who are accustomed to the fact that a phone is a phone and a camera is a camera. If smartphones with such powerful cameras reach store shelves, conservatives will have to rethink their stereotypes.
