Smartphones have revolutionized the way we live, work and entertain ourselves. Going far beyond just a mode of communication, smartphones offer access to information, digital payment systems, entertainment and photography. Smartphones are omnipresent in our lives and looking ahead, they are only going to play a much bigger role in our lives.
There have been many technological advancements made in this domain, and the consumer demands with each new mobile phone launch have only been on the rise. To keep up with this rise in demand, brands like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and Samsung have invested huge amounts in R&D which will result in even more innovation in the years to come.
We will see higher storage capacities, faster processors and better camera quality. We have already seen the advancements made in smartphone camera features, from the initial VGA camera days to the release of penta-rear cameras, with up to 108 megapixels over the last year.
Smartphone cameras in the early 2000s
The earliest handsets launched in the early 2000s with VGA cameras barely clicked discernible images. Then came rotating cameras with LG’s A7150 mobile phones in 2004-05. After that, we saw Nokia phones featuring the paltry 2.15MP sensor with the first-ever full range telephoto lens. You could afford up to 3x optical zoom, which at that time was a huge feat in the smartphone camera segment.
Evolution of the smartphone camera
Fast forward to today, we are seeing mobile phone cameras capable of generating Bokeh/background blur effects, capture pro-grade pictures in low light conditions, shoot macro objects, take ultra-steady videos and refocus a picture with a tap. These days, smartphones have come up with features like 108 megapixel cameras, hybrid-zoom, AI beautification, ultra-night mode technologies and much more.
There has also been an introduction of the periscope-based system, and an increasing rate of pop up camera phones at affordable prices. We are seeing budget mobiles offering up to 6GB RAM, which ensures a lag-free performance. Mobiles with 6GB RAM or higher also allow for a smooth motorized camera usage, without jeopardizing image quality, which shows just how far smartphone cameras have evolved over the years.
