Techno's unveiling of 3 revolutionary technologies in smartphone cameras

In an event called Future Lens 2023, the Chinese company TECNO unveiled 3 revolutionary technologies in smartphone cameras that can revolutionize the entire industry.

Yesterday, an event called Future Lens 2023 was held in Shanghai, China, where a Chinese phone maker called Techno unveiled three revolutionary technologies in smartphone cameras. These three are the W-shaped aperture, the Liquid Telephoto Macro lens, and the Universal Tone technology to enhance human skin. The combination of these three technologies not only helps to improve the image quality of a lens, but also has the potential to revolutionize the smartphone photography system.

Among Chinese brands, Tecno has always been one of the most prominent leaders in the smartphone industry. They have always tried to bring innovation in the mobile industry with a combination of affordable price in their phones to the users all over the world. While innovation has always been one of the slogans of phone makers, Techno is trying to make this slogan come true. The Future Lens 2023 event also showed well that they are looking for the evolution of phone cameras.

Get to know Techno's revolutionary camera technologies for smartphones

Next, we will examine these three new technologies of Tecno company, which are supposed to be used on the phones of this company next year and will be available to users all over the world.

W-shaped diaphragm valve

This technology will create a revolution in the management of different light conditions. It uses the W-shaped animal eye as a model and adjusts the aperture size to capture enough light in different environments. By manually adjusting the aperture, photographers can easily manage the background light, resulting in not only sharper images, but also richer detail and color. This innovation can end the problems of photography with phones.

Until now, no company had used such a pattern for the shape of the aperture of the camera. This marks Techno's boldest attempt in the history of the smartphone industry. In order to make the diaphragm valve in the shape of the letter W, they have taken the example of an animal called Sepidaj. This aquatic animal lives in shallow water with a lot of light, but when it goes down, the speed of light will undoubtedly decrease there. The horizontal and vertical slits in his pupil cause uniform illumination across the retina, reducing the contrast between the brightest and darkest environments.

Liquid Telephoto Macro lens

Tecno's innovative liquid macro telephoto lens combines the power of telephoto and macro lenses in a compact form factor. This advanced technology uses voltage to change the curvature of the lens, delivering stunning close-up photos with incredible detail. This is an important step in providing the possibility of professional photography in smartphones.

The telephoto lenses on the phones are in a structure that makes it difficult and complicated to focus on subjects from close distances. Although some companies have made efforts to solve these problems. For example, Xiaomi 11 had a telephoto lens with macro photography capability, but it offers a limited focal length. For this reason, this lens was effective for close-up photos and could not be used for photographing distant scenes.

Liquid lenses function similar to the human eye. They can see near and far, but they do so with a certain focal length (angle of view). The transparent liquid that covers the film simulates the lens of the eye, and the voltage motor that manages the curvature of the liquid is similar to the ciliary muscle of the human eye. This is not the first time that such a lens has been heard in the mobile industry, but so far we have not seen it on any product. So we are very eager to see how Techno can implement this revolutionary technology in its smartphone camera.

Universal Tone technology

Techno adds new standards to the photography industry with Universal Tone technology. This technology, which was developed according to the extensive research of techno researchers, uses artificial intelligence to render different skin colors in photos. This technology ensures that subjects' faces are captured in portrait photos with very natural and beautiful skin. Techno technology can identify any person with any skin color from all over the world and record their photo as we see it in reality.

One of the managers of Sony Company, who was also present at the Future Lens event, says about Tecno's innovative technologies to improve smartphone camera performance:

Our image sensors must be developed in close cooperation with smartphone manufacturers to achieve the best results. Sony can only create better image sensors by communicating with mobile phone manufacturers' engineers. That's why we look forward to further collaborations with Tecno and will work together to bring the joy of mobile photography to consumers around the world.

At the same time, new techno technologies have been shown, and it is not clear exactly on which products and when we can use them. But considering that this Chinese company will participate in the Barcelona Mobile World Congress (MWC) that will be held in February 2024, we hope that they will step into this event with their hands full and show the prototype of phones with these revolutionary technologies.
