With mobile devices, 200MP is probably going to be the top range for a while. Companies like Samsung are working on a 600MP sensor, but improving the performance of existing tech like camera lenses should be more important. And it seems Panasonic agrees.
Recently, Panasonic revealed that it's starting to mass-produce a "Far-Infrared Aspherical Lens" that will improve the performance of cameras and sensors. This new type of lens can be produced at a low price, and Panasonic's main goal is to "contribute to the spread and higher performance of far-infrared sensor modules".
According to Panasonic, the lens would be used not just in cameras but also in far-infrared sensors for heat monitoring and in autonomous vehicles. The company didn't confirm if the new lens would be useful for mobile devices. But if it can help smartphone brands reduce the cost of phones, it would probably be implemented eventually.
