I’ll take one in my iPhone, please:
NEC reveal[ed] a linear shift-invariant (LSI) chip that, along with the proper CMOS sensor, can bestow onto mobile devices the power to shoot 12 megapixel imagery, as well as output full-HD video.
Dubbed the CE143, it’s being touted by the company for its focus speed and signal-to-noise reduction 6db greater than with what’s currently in the market.
The chip will integrate with an image stabilizer, shading correction, and other essential point-and-click tools. Manufacturers should expect to get some hands-on time when samples begin shipping out in March.

Nice to see the modern phone. And I hope that in one day I will use it when it is cheaper.
