Samsung Outlines Britecell Camera Sensor Technology

We were aware that Samsung has been working on a new camera sensor called Britecell and the company just detailed the new camera sensor at its Investor Forum. The new sensor is expected to replace ISOCELL with an increased light sensitivity in low light conditions and well ventilated pictures.

We first got the glimpse of the Britecell sensor when the trademark application was leaked earlier this month and according to the application Samsung would be incorporating a larger camera sensor. It doesn’t take much effort to guess that Samsung will most probably end up using the Britecell in its upcoming Flagship the Galaxy S7 and its siblings.
The Britecell announcement comes after Samsung recently pulled the wraps from its Exynos 8 Octa 8890 SoC which would be manufactured by the company’s 14nm FinFET fabrication process and within it will be baked Samsung’s first in house processor core which will still follow 64-bit ARM instructions.

Britecell will employ RWB color pattern to enhance the light sensitivity and improvise on the signal to noise ratio. Moreover, Samsung seems to be prepping a 12-Megapixel sensor which will boast of a ½-inch surface area, which correlates to the fact that larger the surface area of camera sensor more is the light reflected on the same, in other words enhanced light sensitivity.
In all likelihood, Samsung might also start supplying the sensors for other OEMs, since chipmaking and supplying other hardware has constituted a considerable chunk of its revenue, something that will help the company to survive any plunge in the Smartphone sales and also further subsidize the cost for R&D.

The Right Way to Clean Your Keyboard, Tablet and Smartphone

W e recently came across the list of the top most dirty objects in an average household, and surprisingly, it’s not the toilet seat. Some of the items that were ranked at the top of that list have definitely made us think twice before making a call or looking up updates on Facebook. The keyboard on which you typed to get to this page, or the touchscreen that you swipe on are some of the most bacteria-rich items in your household, so keeping these squeaky clean should be a top priority. While there are lots of methods and products for cleaning these items, most of us ignore this. How similar do you find this scenario: Your smartphone’s screen is really dirty, so you rub it on your shirt, or a piece of cloth that’s close by, or you remember that it’s been some time since you’ve cleaned your keyboard, so you turn it upside down and give it a few slaps. Most of us use this (or a very similar) technique and think “Now it’s clean!”, but the truth of the matter is that it’s j...
