Ultrapixel Camera ‘could’ come to lower-level HTC smartphones

Ultrapixel Camera ‘could’ come to lower-level HTC smartphones
The HTC One is not only a beautifully designed device that packs an impressive hardware muscle - it also goes against the mass-market trend of increasing megapixel count and instead focuses on image quality with less but larger pixels and some optical image stabilization. The One comes with a dedicated ImageChip 2, a piece of silicon that allows faster image processing.

Good news is that some of that ‘could’ come to lower-level HTC smartphones.

Asked whether the UltraPixel camera will land in more affordable HTC devices, HTC UK head Phil Robertson said: “It could … the core is around the sensor and the image chip that we are using.”

Don’t expect the full scale of improvements that the HTC One brings, though, as the Snapdragon 600 chip is a key part of the performance of the camera. More affordable devices clearly won’t feature such a powerful chip.

“However, the Qualcomm chipset [used in the HTC One] does enable a lot of this to happen. The ability to take HD video and high-res images at the same time is powered by the quad-core on the device, as well,” Robertson noted.

Additionally, the HTC UK did say that a lot of HTC One features like BlinkFeed will make their way to other smartphones by the company.

Nokia 808 camera >>> Htc One > Nokia Lumia 920,
So bad that PureView now is nothing but pure commercial grimmick. As of build quality I personaly prefer Aluminium and Glass rather than Plastic. Its the 4th year that Flagships come in this order of release : HTC, Samsung, Apple, LG, Nokia, Sony...

29. Alex123 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 21:59 2

I don agree with you.
should be Nokia 808 >Lumia 920 and HTC is not in the list as it could not even campared with Lumia 720 in low light. HTC one is $780 and Lumia is only $350

28. Alex123 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 21:54 2

Old Tech? Can you do anything with Tech?

27. Alex123 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 21:53 2

yes, but Lumia 720 no pureview still take better picture than HTC one hahaha.... pity HTC. Pureview is best camera technology. please HTC try to make bigger pixel that Titan II. no space for Ultra Pixel

iPhone 5 vs SGS III vs Xperia Z vs BB Z10 vs HTC One vs Nokia Lumia 920
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHSZOCdRPLk

In my opinion:
1)Nokia Lumia 920(One level above everyone)
2)iPhone 5 , SGS III ,HTC One
4)Xperia Z , BB Z10

7. lee480 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 05:37 10

Nope. I think Xperia Z and iPhone 5 are on par.
The rest way below.

why htc one fast shot?
why lumia 920 slow shot?

9. takay0 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 06:09 3

stop sayin that! is you right pureview its better... but its not the same size camera... lumia 920 and htc one.. this is what you should say

30. Alex123 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 22:03

but we compare only Camera technology. if you think so pleas request HTC to use its 16mp with ultra pixel then we will wait to see the comparison again.

We the iP5 is no match to anything
We say you all follow us
We think this is a fail
We advise to go back to drawing board
We think its ok, thiy it's all is trying well
We like that

2. tusshharish posted on 06 Mar 2013, 05:21 14 1

that means if 4mp ultrapixels to flagship........then 2mp ,1mp ultrapixels for low level../....................lmao

15. No_Nonsense posted on 06 Mar 2013, 06:35 1

Conversely the opposite if it is using a 1/3" sensor. The more megapixels=less pixel size. So, by that logic, midrangers=8/12MP (assuming the same sensor size that is).

High end lower end, I love to see HTC fail again :)

12. StreetNerd posted on 06 Mar 2013, 06:25 1

juh.... this THE ONE strategy is bulls**t.... its so dumb not to release a WP8 flagship

14. appleroyally. (banned) posted on 06 Mar 2013, 06:29 3

"Ultrapixel Camera ‘could’ come to lower-level HTC smartphones"

...where the paltry 4MP 'ultrapixel' camera belongs....the lower level..

17. Shrihari posted on 06 Mar 2013, 07:57

Really...? is there any low end device with good specs in market? i'm clearly against this because nokia is the one who brought this technology in market.....Nokia please get your Lawyer Ready

21. true1984 posted on 06 Mar 2013, 10:42 2

why all the hate? i know the camera isnt as good as the 920 but its still a really good camera

31. Urgency posted on 07 Mar 2013, 00:53

Yeah.
Why dont you people just buy the phone that suits your lifestyle.

24. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 06 Mar 2013, 11:25

More like why all the false credit?? The lumia 920 was said to be below par with day shots but excellent with low light performance..so why are you Nokia fans acting like it trumps EVERYTHING, when it only excells in low light areas!?

HTC and their gimmicks. Sigh...
