Two photo lenses on a smartphone: but for what purpose exactly?

It's almost no longer a secret,
l’iPhone 7, except large
surprise, should be available in different models, at least 2, with, for
Plus model, the presence of a camera on the backequipped with two
sensors. This will not make it the first smartphone to be equipped with the
So, we can already imagine what this could imply at the level of
photography with iPhone in the future. Theoretically, a double sensor allows
improve the camera's photo capabilities. Let's see what
manner :

Gain in precision

One of the significant limitations in iPhone photography is the
smallness of the photo sensor. The smaller the sensor, the less efficient it is
especially in low light, but also to capture details. The idea of
dual sensor is therefore to overcome this limitation andsimulate the
benefits of a larger sensor.

Results: better behavior in dark environments,
Improved pixel richness and finer detail.

Improved zoom

Two types of zoom oppose each other, basically,digital zoom,
either the one found on current iPhones, which is the enlargement of a
area of the photo with a parallel loss of definition, andthe zoom
optical, physical, which requires a special lens with dimensions
not very suitable for smartphones. The dual objective made it possible tosimulate
an optical zoomwhile leaving the iPhone with its wasp waist.

Editing possibilities

A photo taken with a dual sensor could be edited in a way
much more advancedthan a photograph taken with a single
sensor. For example, it would be possibleto make a change of
post-production development.
Le Huawei P9has already highlighted this functionality elsewhere.

3D and other possible openings

Finally, a dual sensor can bring new uses and new
ways of photographing or taking videos. For example, this will allow
ofmodel 3D objects more easilythanks to
the analysis of the differences in distances and angles between the two sensors, this
which can be useful in augmented reality applications.

But, we had also seen it with
a patent filed by Apple, the double sensor could imply the
possibility, not only, ofcreate dynamic images
asces
cinemagraphs, but alsotake a photo and video
same time.

Uses of this type remain quite vague for the moment, we will know
certainly a lot more in a few weeks, during the Apple Keynote
from the beginning of September.
