Expect more dual camera smartphones now that Qualcomm's new Clear Sight technology is available
Quallcomm debuted a new platform for smartphone manufacturers wishing to implement a dual camera setup in their products. The system is called Clear Sight and it requires a Snapdragon 820 or 821 processor in the device. Qualcomm designed it to make dual cameras easier to integrate without requiring specialized development. Clear Sight uses the second camera to enhance image quality by pairing a color sensor with a monochromatic one that's able to capture richer detail. The output from the pair of sensors is combined into a theoretically sharper photo.
