Not to be outdone by the
Nokia 808's appearance at MWC, HTC has released sample shots taken using the ImageSense camera module that comes in its
One X and
One S phones. In many ways they're normal-looking stills, with nothing like PureView's
41-megapixel oversampling (which is
claimed to result in a superior still), and certainly no over-sized 1/1.2-inch sensor. However, if you look closely, you
can see the benefits of some of HTC's improvements. Top among those is the faster f/2.0 lens, which will allow for shorter exposures and clearer moving subjects -- like the skateboarders above. Such images will also likely benefit from the 0.7-second time window for capturing an image and the 0.2-second auto-focus when shooting continuously. Whatever you make of the sample shots in the gallery below, HTC can also claim one key advantage over PureView: camera technology that still fits into a regular-sized smartphone.
HTC may not have PureView, but it does have ImageSense originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 04 Mar 2012 10:58:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
