Competition for the number of camera pixels by smartphone makers is intensifying. Since Samsung Electronics launched the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which is equipped with the industry's first 18 million-pixel main camera, in February this year, Motorola has released a flagship smartphone with the same pixel main camera after Xiaomi.
Motorola introduced its flagship "Edge Plus" and low-end "Edge" on Sunday. Motorola, which has been releasing low and medium-priced phones, has released premium smartphones in four years since the launch of its first generation "Moto Z" in 2016. The new products have a round edge display, as can be seen by the product's.
The biggest feature of Edge Plus for 5G (5th generation mobile communication) is the camera. The rear quad (four) camera consists of an 18-megapixel main camera, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide angle, an 8-megapixel optical zoom (3X), and a ToF camera. Its front is equipped with a 25-megapixel camera. Optical OIS function is applied and 6K video can be filmed.
Other specifications are also high-quality It is going to support injection rate of 90 Hz (Hertz) for 6.7-inch OLED displays. The application processor (AP) is equipped with a high-end chipset called "Snapdragon 865," with 256GB of storage space and 12GB of RAM. It also has an unusual 3.5mm earphone jack among flagships.
Xiaomi, which recently declared high-end, also released its flagship "Mi10" series last month featuring an 18-megapixel main camera. Xiaomi introduced such high-pixel cameras with Samsung Electronics' image sensor "Isocell Bright HMX."
Its top model, "The 10 Pro" camera, consists of a main 18 million pixels at the rear, a 20 million ultra-wide angle, a 12 million person and an 8 million optical zoom (10X). The front camera has 20 million pixels. It has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display and an AP Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, and has 8GB RAM capacity and 128GB and 256GB storage capacity.
Samsung Electronics, which was the first Galaxy S20 Ultra to introduce its 18 million-pixel main camera, plans to continue to accelerate the development of image sensors to secure a "super gap" with other manufacturers. According to U.S. IT (Information Communication) media Tom's Guide, Samsung Electronics recently completed the development of a 150 million pixel image sensor and started the development of a 256 million pixel image sensor.
Samsung Electronics announced in its contribution to the newsroom on the 21st that it will develop 600 million pixel image sensors that are superior to people's eyes (500 million pixels) with ultra-fine process technology. It is an indication of its willingness to overtake Sony, the No. 1 image sensor market.
Samsung Electronics Co. said on Feb. 12 that it has released its next-generation mobile image sensor "ISO Cell Bright HM1," which has improved camera sensitivity by up to two times more than before by applying state-of-the-art "Nanocell" technology.
