It seems that 8 MP camera phones should already step aside to make room for the 9 MP handsets, although the first ones haven’t had the chance to conquer the market yet. Germany’s Digital Imaging Systems announced a new module for camera phones. The DIS6931 has a 9-megapixel CMOS sensor, autofocus, and an advanced optical lens system with mechanical shutter.
“We wanted to maintain our leadership in digital still camera (DSC) quality modules for mobile phones to create new market opportunities for handset manufacturers. With our ultra fast AF (auto-focus), the fastest mobile click-to-capture time and excellent picture quality, we are in a strong position to drive the convergence of mid-range DSC’s into mobile devices,” said Roland Pudelko, CEO of Digital Imaging Systems. The DIS6931 is an all in one DSC quality camera module with a command interface. It has ND-filter, a proprietary interface / control DSP, miniaturized and proprietary low power actuators and a common firmware platform. With its unique platform concept the new DIS6931 camera module enables existing customers to upgrade their DIS camera modules to higher pixel resolutions without hardware change in the host and with the shortest possible software integration time. read more…
We have recieved a tip pointing us to this picture of an Asus device suspected of being the P565. The rather unasuming facade hides a real monster inside – the first smartphone with an 800 Mhz processor!
