Tecno held its Future Lens occasion in Shanghai this week and showcased three revolutionary applied sciences that we’ll doubtless see in future Phantom X cameraphones.
The primary is a singular variable aperture, which Tecno calls a W-shaped adjustable aperture. It is impressed by the attention of a cuttlefish and is designed to get rid of glare in harsh lighting situations, like in sturdy backlight.
It is a distinctive strategy and we will not wait to see what sensor and lens combo Tecno places the W-shaped shutter in entrance of. This is an illustration of the shutter in motion.
Tecno additionally confirmed off the business’s first liquid telephoto macro lens. We have seen liquid lens tech earlier than, however we have by no means seen it in a periscope module. Periscopes are massive and it is a problem to attain macro focusing inside the conventional two-section housing.
Tecno’s strategy makes use of voltage to regulate the lens curvature, thus dynamically adapting it from lengthy to slim, reaching 5cm macro focusing. Tecno says that the liquid lens design permits a big sensor for use.
Most telephones use their ultrawide cameras for macro skills. However their wider perspective brings plenty of distortion to photographs. Utilizing an extended focal size, like on this case with a periscope zoom, is the way in which to true macro images.
Tecno additionally as soon as once more detailed its Common Tone know-how. It makes use of three AI-powered engines to excellent pores and skin tones in images. The Multi-Pores and skin Tone Restoration Engine calibrates and adjusts pores and skin tones utilizing a coloration spectral matrix, that is primarily based on pores and skin coloration chromatic analysis.
The Native-Tuning Engine identifies folks inside an setting and performs round with tone mapping for a extra placing picture. Lastly, the Computational Portrait Engine finishes all of it with a delightful aesthetic.
Tecno did not say which future merchandise will get to pioneer the liquid lens and W-shaped aperture, however we might put our cash on the Phantom X cameraphone sequence. Hopefully, we’ll get to see these improvements as quickly because the Cellular World Congress early subsequent yr.
