Cameras are an important factor by current telephone. It is also one of the areas where many changes and developments are introduced. We can see how they have evidently improved in photography under low light conditions, for example. The common thing is that every year there are certain trends in the cameras of smartphones on Android.
This year 2019 has been recorded using 48 Mpx sensors, which has become a regular feature of the market. But also the great presence of AI or the use of deep sensors has found its presence in the market. We look forward to 2020 what we can do also expect a series of changes or the development of mobile cameras on Android.
Why phone cameras perform better with low light
Images acquired under low light conditions continue to improve significantly over time. What is the development that makes that possible?
The battle of Mpx
We ran out of 40 and 48 Mpx sensors the first 64 mpx sensors before the end of the year. Although by 2020 we can expect new developments in this sector, since Samsung is already preparing its first 108 Mpx sensor, it will certainly be used by some products on Android this month. So it's going to be something that will continue to play a decisive role in the cameras on Android.
But it's not just 108 Mpx, Samsung itself is working on a 144 Mpx sensor, as we have already told you. So it looks like Mpx will once again be a priority for mobile cameras by 2020. Although we have to remember that Mpx is not everything, but also good software and image processing help a lot.
Forget 108 mpx cameras: 256 Mpx is coming soon
We already have the first data of 256 Mpx mobile photo sensors to be launched this year by 2020.
Google uses sensors with a slightly lower Mpx sensitivity than its competitors, but has excellent cameras for many professionals
Great presence of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence has dominated today's cameras, thanks for taking photos, but we can expect to improve by 2020. In a very short time, artificial intelligence has become a mainstay of any phone's camera. And it is one of the areas where further development continues to come.
Artificial intelligence is becoming smarter, giving us better performance, as we've seen in Google Pixel 4 for some of its functions, for example. It would not be unusual for many brands to introduce similar features to their phones, to get better results when using their cameras. The one who appears it will be a star project in 2020 by what is called a semantic component, responsible for aligning the label or category of each pixel in the image. It can be used to separate parts from an image where different objects are seen, thus using different processors for each part, to get a better picture.
This would mean a a significant jump in quality Photos on Android. Products like Google have rightly realized that Mpx value is not the most important factor in getting great images. Quality software, coupled with the efficient use of artificial intelligence, can provide great results.

Zoom, zoom and zoom
2019 has been a year there zoom has gained special prominence on cameras on Android. Huawei was the first to offer special offers, with the P30 Pro. And other models such as OPPO have given prominence closer to its other models, such as the Reno 10x Zoom. It is expected that by 2020 many more products will use it.
Although it is very possible to make progress restricted to phones within the maximum range on Android In the middle grades, telephoto sensors may have been upgraded, or additional sensors of this type have been introduced, for better zoom results. You may find it interesting to note how this happened.
Video recording
Video recordings are often very forgotten when improvements are made to phone cameras. Fortunately, there are many and many other products introducing improvements in that field. In addition, the Snapdragon 865, which will be a high-end processor by 2020, leaving us with 8K video support, among others. The decision that could drive Android phone manufacturers is to start driving 8K.

On the other hand, slow recording It's another thing that has popped up and proliferated among Android phones. The Snapdragon 865 also brings great improvements in this regard, with the support of 4x 4K at 4 fps at 120 fps, in addition to supporting super slow speeds at 720p and 960p. In this way it will be possible to record at slow speeds with no time limits, on mobile phones.
Video recording is likely to undergo many changes, such as improving when recording in low light or poor conditions. But at present it is not known. Most likely, the final high-end models, which will arrive in February around MWC 2020, are set the tone to be followed the market
