At the Samsung Electronic 2015 Investors Forum on Nov. 17, the South Korean telecommunications conglomerate announced its latest smartphone camera that makes fuzzy, low-light photos a thing of the past.
Named Britecell, the camera contains an image sensor that is specifically designed to automatically brighten and sharpen photos taken in less-than-accommodating lighting conditions, chucking out the standard Bayer filter layout. Unlike filters found in most smartphones, Britecell's image sensor takes inscrutably colored pixels that would under normal circumstances be changed to the color green; the camera then turns the pixels white, which makes the photo-at-hand appear lighter than less ambient conditions would normally allow.
In addition to its light-enhancing abilities, Britecell is sleeker, slender, and more lightweight than traditional smartphone cameras, which means that the lens might follow the line of the Android hardware design and not stick out.
While the company made sure to list the features Britecell touts, the actual phone that would carry the camera has not been announced. It is expected that the Britecell-bearing Android will be announced in Samsung's first 2016 fiscal quarter, and will most likely be the latest phone in its Galaxy line, the Galaxy S7, according to Engadget.
