Dual cameras have literally been a hit among smartphone manufacturers in the last two years. Samsung jumped on this bandwagon in the middle of last year and in the fall with the arrival of Galaxy Note8 showed how the dual camera function imagines. However, two cameras were normally reserved for high-end smartphones, i.e. flagship models. However, Samsung now wants to fundamentally change that with its new technology, with which it will bring two of the most popular functions of the popular function - focus adjustment (bokeh) and shooting in low light conditions (LLS) - also in cheap smartphones.
The South Korean company presented a comprehensive solution for phones with two cameras, which includes ISOCELL Dual image sensors and proprietary software ensuring the presence of both the aforementioned functions. Samsung Electronics wants to offer its comprehensive solution to other smartphone manufacturers, who can easily implement two cameras and their functions in their phones.
Dual-camera smartphones have two image sensors that capture different light informace, enabling new features such as focus adjustment and low-light shooting. Due to these advantages, high-end mobile devices with dual cameras are on the rise. However, the integration of two cameras can be a difficult task for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), as it requires time-consuming optimization between the OEM and various suppliers involved in the development of sensors and algorithmic software. Samsung's comprehensive solution for dual-camera phones will simplify this process and allow mid-range and entry-level mobile devices to take advantage of some of the photography features that are primarily available on higher-end devices equipped with an additional image signal processor.
To accelerate development and eliminate the hassle of optimizing dual-camera smartphones, Samsung is now the first in the industry to offer a comprehensive solution that includes ISOCELL Dual sensors and algorithmic software optimized for these sensors. This will allow mid-range and entry-level mobile devices to take advantage of popular features offered by the existence of two cameras, such as focus adjustment and low-light photography. Samsung provides its focus adjustment algorithm to a set of 13- and 5-megapixel image sensors and a low-light shooting algorithm to a set of two 8-megapixel sensors to simplify their implementation by OEMs.
