LG to Feature 20.7-megapixel Sensor and Advanced OIS

LG to Feature 20.7-megapixel Sensor and Advanced OIS

  LG is a company that has risen from being a manufacturer a lot of people were worried about making the Nexus 4 to being mentioned in the same sentences as Samsung, Motorola, HTC and Sony. 

  No longer is LG a company people think of last when purchasing an Android smartphone, now it’s a first-choice manufacturer. The G2 and G3 have of course been the main reasons for their newfound success and reputation in the mobile arena and their cameras have been some of the best out there. A new rumor details a new camera sensor that could be destined for next year’s LG flagship.

  While it’s of course too early to be talking about LG’s next flagship device with confidence, it’s always nice to get a glimpse of what’s ahead. During the Korea Electronics Show, LG showed off a new camera module of theirs that features a 20.7-megapixel sensor and improved Optical Image Sstabilization For those astute readers, you’ll have realized that 20.7-megapixels is the same resolution as the Sony Xperia Z2 and Z3 line of devices, but there’s no telling whether or not the sensor is of a similar design or even origin. 

  The OIS part of this is interesting as the new module features a larger correction angle of 0.7 which is a little bit better than the G3’s 0.5 correction angle. A larger correction angle means more compensation for movement when stabilizing for image capture.

LG WebOS smartwatch

LG reportedly working on a WebOS Smartwatch

  This article is brought to you by Joel Joseph of the Morning Ledger.  Like Android for mobiles, the Android Wear platform for wearables which was announced earlier this year plans to take over most of the smartwatches in the market. Given that it’s based on the worlds most used mobile operating system, there’s a very high chance that it would soon end up in a number of new smartwatches that will make way in the market in the next few months.

  At the time of launch, Google managed to attract a lot of notable partners like Samsung, LG, and Asus etc. But it looks like some of these companies may not just rely on this new OS for its wearables.

  Samsung already announced three Tizen based smartwatches this year, including the new Gear S with its own 3G radio. So, even if the company has one Android Wear smartwatch, there are three other Tizen watches to compete with it.

  And it looks like Samsung isn’t the only tech giant to work with another OS for its products as a new report says that LG is developing a new smartwatch running the infamous, Web OS.

  We have recently heard some rumors about a new smartwatch from the company which had its own inbuilt cellular radio and Web OS could be a great alternative for such a standalone smartwatch.

  If you have never heard about Web OS, don’t worry. The operating system didn’t quite hit it off with customers and the makers, Palm Inc. were later acquired by HP. Just last year, HP sold it to LG and the South Korean giant currently uses this OS on a number of its web enabled Smart TVs.

  Given that LG owns the OS, the company has unlimited access to all of its source code, documentations and developers which makes it easier to make changes and tweak the operating system for a device like a smartwatch.

  WebOS works on lightweight architecture and the overall UI too is card based which can make a great system for a smartwatch. This could be the reason why LG is trying to develop a smartwatch running on this platform.

  The Verge was first to spot the WebOS smartwatch page on LG’s developmental portal earlier today, however as soon as the news spread, LG took down the website.

  However, we luckily have a few images from the portal, which although doesn’t reveal much about the stage of development, still proves that the company is looking for different options for its upcoming smartwatches.
