Light is the name of a technology company that developed a compact pocket camera, the L16 Camera, which has the unique feature of having 16 lenses that can generate 52-megapixel images. This camera is available for sale since last year at the price of $1,950.
Now, the company wants to transfer this same concept to the smartphone field, and it comes at a time when rumours are beginning to arise that LG will release the next version of the V family, the LG V40, with a total of 5 cameras.
In the case of Light, according to The Washington Post, his developing smartphone would go a little further, with five to nine cameras to capture 64 MP images.
This would not only provide better image quality but also improve performance in low-light conditions and improve the depth of field effects on the images, all with the help of internal processing to generate the full image.
The TechCrunch publication also reminds us that it is not the only technology company that wants to join the smartphone cart with innovations in the imaging segment. In this regard, he points out that the camera manufacturer RED will also launch its smartphone which will have a modular lens system and allow its use as a viewfinder for its film cameras.
For now, the features of the phone that Light is developing, with a series of prototypes so far, are unknown, but it certainly adds, as they say, more wood to the fire at a time when we have already inhabited the dual systems of rear cameras and we are no longer surprised that in the front we can also have two cameras.
