News & Reviews:   dual camera

It looks like Xiaomi is going to great lengths to make its upcoming flagships mobile photography powerhouses. We already have some news about the Xiaomi 12 series, which is expected to have a model with 3x 50MP cameras. But there's apparently a more powerful one with a 200MP camera.

Not long ago some sketches of the Samsung Galaxy C10 were revealed and it teased a dual-camera setup. However, leaked renders of the upcoming Galaxy C10 has surfaced all over the internet further confirming the previous sketches in beautiful rose gold.

Rehashing an old concept with new tech, Toshiba is coming out with dual camera modules which may soon offer smartphones the Lytro-like ability to refocus after the shot while maintaining sharp image clarity. The dual camera module uses two 5MP cameras that records both depth and image information at the same time, creating a 'deep focus' effect and a resulting 13MP image. The camera module works a lot like the Pelican Imaging camera array but unfortunately Toshiba have said that they expect it to reach mass production by April 2014, so we may only see smartphones with these Toshiba dual camera modules after that date. No exact Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet, but it could mean that next year's smartphones will have the same capabilities as the current batch of photo-binning cameraphones, like the Nokia Lumia 1020.
