Mobile phone cameras, no matter how many megapixels they have still tend not to be as good as a regular digital camera. I’ve actually only seen one camera phone that actually takes quite nice shots (the 8 megapixel LG Renoir). Others just make do although some are obviously better than others.
The InVisage Technologies QuantumFilm chipset aims to sort that problem out by using quantum dots that can absorb about 90 – 95% of the light that hits the sensor allowing for better quality images in varying light conditions with pictures being captured up to 12 megapixels in size. Compare that 90 – 95% to a regular mobile phone camera sensor (which gets about 20% at most) you potentially have a great camera.
