The camera in your cell phone was almost an afterthought just a few years ago. It was nice extra feature, but now has evolved into a much wanted tool for the newer web active smartphones. This is due in part to the advent of social networking, online photo albums and available tools that enable the user to edit photos in the “cloud.”
Some of the latest innovations seen today are the extra-large display panels which make setting up and viewing the photos much easier on the eye.
Snapping a photo and then passing around the camera phone for everyone’s approval is a fun part of the experience. These panels allow for instant change of view from horizontal or landscape view, to vertical or portrait view. The view change can be instant with touch screen sensitivity using one finger.
4G Network phones offer the highest upload and download rates available. New entries to this market are being released at a rapid pace.
The newest phones have dual-core processing, and quad-core processing is soon to be released. This gives your smartphone the processing power of a laptop computer, right in your hand.
Most of the new smartphones have more camera features onboard. There are dual cameras, one front and one rear for excellent online video chat capability. Super fine photo quality with ratings up to 12 megapixels puts the smartphone on par with higher end stand-alone digital cameras.
Memory card slots available allow the user to save large quantities of photos, and remove the card for storage, and to print or share the content. Autofocus, powerful zoom, onboard LED flash for lower light situations, all in a smaller and smaller unit.
Technology is moving rapidly and though the best is yet to come, current smartphone cameras are so well equipped, the days of carrying a phone and a separate digital camera may well be over for all but a few users.
