Main and Periscope Camera Trends at Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Huawei, and Sharp
Under huge pressure from competition, leading handset vendors committed to delivering differentiated camera hardware to new flagship smartphones. It is not easy to keep track of each camera subtype (wide-angle, telephoto, periscope zoom, etc.) and the unique set of requirements for optical format, imaging IC size and resolution, autofocus capability, optical zoom, optical image stabilization, lens barrel actuator, and so on.
If you want to understand the progress of competitors and the recent situation of the market, this presentation reviews selected structural and feature highlights of Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Huawei, and Sharp cameras, focusing on main & ultrawide cameras, and the periscope camera trends.
