Decision Factor
With LG Electronics releasing its flagship smartphone G3, the local premium smartphone market seems to be turning into a four-way battle. Four different recently-launched premium smartphones are showing off cameras with different technical specifications.
According to industry sources on May 29, a laser autofocus sensor is placed on the back of the G3, which allows the G3 camera to measure the subject-to-camera distance and to automatically focus on the subject very quickly with the aid of the laser beam. An f2.0 angle lens is used to receive more light so that it is possible to take bright pictures in low-light mode. The camera is also equipped with OIS+, which supports 20 percent improved image stabilization compared to OIS. The new OIS+ technology combines both optical and electronic image stabilization.
Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is equipped with a 16-megapixel camera that can capture important moments of people’s daily lives by radically reducing the time needed for auto-focusing. Through Rich Tone HDR mode, people can shoot pictures with life-like colors even in a dark place or against light.
Pantech’s Vega Iron 2 features a wide-optical image-stabilizer camera that supports a top-class correction angle, and thus it is possible to take clearer pictures. An f2.0 lens enables users to take bright and clear pictures in the dark, also.
Sony’s Xperia Z2, which overcame the limits of smartphone cameras using a large number of innovative technologies, is fitted with a 20.7 megapixel Exmor RS image sensor for mobile, a G Lens that pulls in more light in dark conditions, and a BIONZ for mobile image processing. It can record 4K video (3840×2160) in a smooth manner thanks to Steady Shot, Sony’s image stabilization feature.
