Improvements to cameras, photos and video in smartphones are among the biggest lures for buyers, and several smartphone manufacturers at Mobile World Congress announced camera innovations designed to meet that demand.
Huawei announced the P10 and P10 Plus smartphones featuring dual rear cameras with high quality Leica lenses. LG announced the G6 with wide-angle cameras on both front and back, with one of the two 13-megapixel rear cameras providing a 135-degree angle. The G6 also has the capability for a smoother transition from optical to digital zoom.
Sony announced the Xperia XZ Premium with a 19-megapixel rear camera that allows a user to shoot super slow-motion video. The Motion Eye capability captures video at 960 frames a second and when played back at the normal 30 frames per second, the video is slowed by 32 times to show fast moving objects in high detail.
Of course, cameras and their related photo and video capabilities aren't the only features that matter to buyers, but they rank near the top in surveys of features that buyers look for in smartphones. Those features include battery life, price, processor speed and other variables, according to analysts.
