9. UltraPixels and Sensor Size
HTC One Leading Competition
UltraPixels and Sensor Size
HTC has made a deliberate choice to focus on photo quality with bigger pixel size over just total pixel count. The 1/3’ sensor size on the
HTC One is equivalent to the sensor size found on other 8MP or 13MP smartphone cameras.
However, UltraPixels are larger than ordinary pixels, and take up more space on the sensor. So there are less megapixels ‐ the new HTC
One takes photos at 4 megapixels resolution, but the quality of each pixel is substantially higher than the industry average.
12. ImageChip Processing Power
Next Level Processing Power With ImageChip
NEXT LEVEL PROCESSING POWER WITH IMAGECHIP
In order to provide the best quality on our camera, we have designed our own HTC ImageChip to perform some
of the processing at the hardware level. Our carefully engineered ImageChip features optimize the ISP (Image
Signal Processor), to offer benefits such as:
Continuous Auto Focus
We have developed our algorithm to improve focusing speed significantly to an average of less than 200ms for a
full distance scan. This is almost instantaneous, and less than an average human blink. You will practically never
see your images out of focus.
Real‐time Video HDR
During video capturing, the dynamic range can be boosted up to ̴92dB to match the human eye capabilities. The
sensor captures interlaced frames up to 60fps with high and low exposure values, while the ImageChip hardware
processes the frames in real time to create the HDR frames. This is powerful enough so even full HD 1080P video
capturing can utilize an "always on" HDR function.
Lens Compensation & Color Shading
Due to the curvature of the lens and the way light flows, the physics of a lens naturally creates darker spots near
the edge. With an algorithm designed specifically for our lens, we can process and compensate the color shading.
De‐noise processing
While our system already employs the largest pixel size and largest aperture found on a smartphone, noise is
always a factor when a light threshold level is reached. De‐noise processing helps cleanly remove noise captured
both on the main camera and the front camera.
13. F/2.0 Apeture
F/2.0 Aperture: Better by a Wide Margin
Aperture is the width that a camera lens opens when a picture gets taken.
Aperture is measured in f‐stops, with the smallest f‐stop numbers representing the largest apertures.
The new HTC One, like its predecessor, offers the largest aperture on the market, with an f/2.0, which allows
44% more light through than the f/2.4 aperture on the iPhone 5, and over 90% more light than the Samsung
GS3's f/2.6 The result is dramatically improved image quality in low light conditions.
14. Optical Image Stabilization(OIS)
Optical Image Stabilization: Significant Clarity
Improvements
One of the biggest complaints about smartphone cameras has been blurry photos. There are two main reasons
for this:
1. Length of time required to capture an image, resulting in misaligned light streams coming into the sensor.
2. The physical shaking of the hand while holding the camera or pressing the shutter button.
To address the first issue, HTC's camera is now capable of capturing full size photos in up to 1/48 of a second,
compared to 1/30 of a second from other competitors and the HTC One X (2012). This is a significant
improvement in shutter speed on a smartphone camera, producing photos and videos that are sharper and
clearer in all conditions.
In terms of dealing with physical motion, we have installed a physical optical image stabilizer (OIS) on the new
HTC One system. While OIS is not new to digital cameras, this is a significant milestone for smartphone
cameras. HTC's dedicated imaging gyroscope effectively detects the motion of the camera, and the lens will
physically move in the opposite direction of the motion to counter the shake induced on a phone.
