In addition to having the new HTC Sense 5 user interface, the new HTC One also featured new technology in its still camera. It is the one baptized as Ultrapixel . After the presentation of the terminal a few weeks ago, the Taiwanese company implied that this type of function would only be available in its future high-end terminals. However, from the United Kingdom come statements from one of the managers of the company who says that Ultrapixel can also be seen in more affordable terminals.
HTC has wanted to put aside the mega-pixel war in the cameras that equip current smartphones. And for this, in the new HTC One it showed its new bet for this year 2013, Ultrapixel technology. What will attract the most attention to the user, is that the camera has only four megapixels of resolution. However, the company has opted to increase the size of the pixels that its new first sword captures and that it is positioned as the first advanced mobile on the market to achieve those figures.
On the other hand, although this technology seemed, at first, to be intended solely and exclusively for future high-end HTC mobiles, an official from the United Kingdom has taken the stage ensuring that HTC Ultrapixel can be seen in mobile phones of the mid-range, thus being able to gain more market share in this mobile telephony sector with a clear focus: users who intend to get a new device with multimedia features, will be able to get a device capable of obtaining very good results and with a more adjusted price.
Also, the cost of manufacturing new terminals with this technology does not increase anything compared to what is currently being used, which also hinted that HTC Ultrapixel could also be part of the company's entry range in the near future. But what does this new generation of cameras contribute to the market and, above all, to the result of the captures?
First, the pixel will be larger than what has been used in the industry. Typically, today's smartphones come using sensors capable of capturing pixels of a maximum of 1.4 microns. However, the new HTC One would reach two microns. What would be the result? As there is a larger surface, more light would also be captured than usual ”” according to the company, 300 percent more ”” and very good results would be achieved in scenes where ambient light is not conducive. Moreover, it has been commented that in many situations the use of a Flash would not be necessary.
Therefore, if it is true that HTC intends to expand its new cameras to the rest of the upcoming catalog, the user would have terminals capable of offering good results in the field of photography "" even video recording "", no matter what range the smartphone belongs to. Even so, it remains to be seen physically how the current Taiwanese flagship performs in real tests in order to better assess the results.
