Just when we thought Full HD 1080p video on a smartphone is more than enough for everyone's daily needs, OmniVision broke another barrier. The company, whose camera modules are present in a variety of handsets, like the iPhone 4, announced the 16MP OV16820 and OV16825 sensors, both capable of full-resolution burst mode pics, and... hold on - 4K2K video capture, or the so-called Quad Full High Definition (QFHD) video at 60fps...

"ARM Cortex-A15 with OmniVision's 16MP QFHD sensor taking 60fps video sounds like the next combo to put us in the proverbial limbo over which smartphone to wait for before we pull the buying trigger. "
You forgot the non-removable battery, non-expandable memory, and micro-sim.

Come on guys? :) What's with the thumbs down!? :p
Well it's just that some of the flagships were doing this. Like the HTC One X and Xperia S. And I think it's robbing away some of the flexibility.

Good technology. Might be useful for PureView someday.

And to watch the videos in full resolution (QFHD) you have to buy a 4K TV for 10K Dollar.

true, you cant tell the difference b/w 720p and 1080p on a phone, let alone QFHD

whats the point of full high definition video capture if your audio sucks as hell...
1080p@30fps + Nokia Rich Recording is still my choice...

With the new iPad, recording 1080P at 30fps, I am at half a GIG for 4 minutes (plus or minus). Trying to post that fat file anywhere is a real pain without making it smaller in someway first, which adds even more pain.
Now times that by four ... yuck yuck yuck yuck.
The NAND companies I am sure however love this.

Soo looking forward to seeing what kind of device comes out with this image sensor, especially if/when paired with a Cortex A15 processor (specifically the Exynos 5 Dual).
