OmniVision partners with Wavelens to bring MEMS-based Autofocus to its 23MP camera sensor

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img alt="" src="http://bit.ly/1IzVeNh"/> OmniVision Technologies introduced OV23850, its 23.8-megapixel camera sensor in the PureCel-S series aimed at high-end smartphones, few months back. At the International CES 2105, the company has announced its partnership with Wavelens to bring autofocus (AF) technology that utilizes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS). With Wavelens' MEMS-based solution, the OmniVision's 23.8-megapixel OV23850 sensor gets high-speed autofocus functionality with DSC-like image quality and performance for flagship smartphones, says the company. Commenting on the new partnership, Sebastien Bolis, CEO of Wavelens, said: With our partnership with OmniVision, we are able to fully leverage the high-speed focus and low-power consumption that our MEMS-based autofocus technology offers. Together, we are redefining what users can do with a smartphone camera, allowing them to take rapid multi-frame captures or to have continuous autofocus during video capturing. Tehzeeb Gunja, senior partnership and business development manager at OmniVision, said: The OV23850 supports fast-auto focus modes and is our highest resolution image sensor currently available, which makes it the preferred sensor for the MEMS focus technology developed by Wavelens. VCM-based autofocus, while a proven technology, suffers from slow speed to focus and high current consumption. We are excited to take part in the transition to a superior MEMs-based solution that can overcome VCM's shortcomings.

Here’s our Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G LTE Indian speed test result

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img alt="" src="http://bit.ly/1scGzVZ"/>Xiaomi is quickly turning out to be a household name. The products from the Chinese company have been the talk of the town, thanks to their affordable price tag and superior hardware configurations. The latest model from Xiaomi to hit the Indian shores is the Redmi Note 4G. The device is one of the most affordable LTE enabled smartphone out there. We were just wondering how good the modem on the Redmi Note 4G and what is the speed it is capable of handling. So, we took the device for a spin in order to test what LTE speed the smartphone can achieve. We were in Bangalore, where Airtel has been providing the LTE service for quite some time and is probably the only location in the country where 4G is widely available. We would like to report that we tested the speeds across various destinations in the city and the overall result was really surprising. Just like the Apple iPhone 6, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G is also capable of handling speeds up to 40Mbps down. The average speed on the carrier was in excess of 20Mbps which is quite impressive considering the overall internet pace in the ...<br /><div class='feedflare'><a href='http://bit.ly/1I13NCe'><img border="0" src="http://bit.ly/1sMPxoh"/> </a> <a href='http://bit.ly/1scGCkw'><img border="0" src="http://bit.ly/1I13NCf"/> </a> <a href='http://bit.ly/1scGzW2'><img border="0" src="http://bit.ly/1I13NCg"/> </a> <a href='http://bit.ly/1scGAch'><img border="0" src="http://bit.ly/1sMPusS"/> </a> </div><br /><img alt="" height="1" src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/DgPBBVw5MRA" width="1"/><br/><br /><a href='http://bit.ly/1I13LdB'>Read Here»</a></div>
