HTC unveiled its latest flagship smartphone - the HTC 10 - that comes with an improved camera and battery. The HTC 10 tries to strike a balance between image resolution and individual pixel size with its 12 megapixel rear camera, which is the same as the latest iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones. HTC is giving a slight boost to the selfie camera — to 5 megapixels, matching the rival devices. It also joins its rivals in letting the screen serve as a front-facing flash. The HTC 10 phone is expected to be available in late April. The phone comes with 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, and a 3000mAh battery that is claimed to last up to two days. The company has not announced the pricing. Here's the HTC 10 in photos:
A team led by an Indian-origin professor at Columbia University has created a novel sheet camera that can be wrapped around everyday objects to capture images that cannot be taken with one or more conventional cameras. "Cameras today capture the world from essentially a single point in space. While the camera industry has made remarkable progress in shrinking the camera to a tiny device with ever increasing imaging quality, we are exploring a radically different approach to imaging," said Shree K Nayar, computer science professor at Columbia University. "We believe there are numerous applications for cameras that are large in format but very thin and highly flexible," added Nayar who graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, in 1984. Nayar's team designed and fabricated a flexible lens array that adapts its optical properties when the sheet camera is bent. This optical adaptation enables the device to produce high quality images over a wide ...
