This enables actual zooming of the camera, unlike most phone cameras which don't actually zoom but simply enlarge the pixels, resulting in grainy photos. The Corephotonics smartphone camera has a [wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amkov-f3b), each of which is equipped with its own sensor. Data from the two sensors is blended by on-board software to produce a single composite image. The camera also offers improved low-light performance along with four times the resolution of a run-of-the-mill smartphone camera. Phones featuring the Corephotonics camera system are expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2015. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dual Lens Smartphone Cameras:** The integration of two different lenses in smartphone cameras is a trend that helps improve image quality and zooming capabilities. - **Low-light Performance Enhancement:** The trend toward better low-light smartphone camera performance using improved lens and sensor technology offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in this space. - **Improved Smartphone Camera Resolution:** The trend towards improved smartphone camera resolution using better optics and algorithms offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in this space. ### Who This Affects Most - **Smartphone Manufacturing:** Companies involved in the manufacturing of smartphones can take advantage of the trends related to dual lens camera systems and better low-light and resolution performance in order to gain a competitive edge. - **Camera Lens Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of camera lenses can capitalize on the trend towards integrating two different lenses in smartphone cameras to help improve image quality and zooming capabilities. - **Image Processing Software:** Companies that specialize in image processing software can take advantage of the trends related to improving low-light performance and resolution of smartphone cameras in order to provide innovative solutions to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photography-Centric Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ax-phone.md) - [Two-Layer Transistor Phone Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony.md) - [Four-Camera Integrated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/13-ultra.md) - [Full Lens-Equipped Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-2.md) - [Hyper-Zoom Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandmarc-telephoto-tetraprism.md) - [Pro-Grade Smartphone Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchlens.md) - [Hybrid Smartphone Photography Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaverlab-tech-excope-dt1.md) - [Manual Zoom Photography Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-17-ultra-leica-edition.md) - [Triple Camera-Packing Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triplecamera-flagship-smartphone.md)
