Imaging capabilities of smartphones are some of the most important features of newer flagship devices and it seems Qualcomm\u2019s plan is to use Sony\u2019s expertise in the area to more rapidly improve its image signal processing technology.<\/p>\n<table class=\"images noCrop singleNoBorder center\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-image-height=\"null\" data-image-width=\"590\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"image\" style=\"width: 590px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/files\/p\/articles\/9881009435\/qc-building-contact-2.png\" target=\"article-0bde3310ec084b0e9609da538418018f\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1.img-dpreview.com\/files\/p\/E~TS590x0~articles\/9881009435\/qc-building-contact-2.png\" width=\"590\" height=\"221\" border=\"0\" data-thumbnail-height=\"0\" data-thumbnail-width=\"590\" data-filename=\"qc-building-contact-2.png\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"caption\" style=\"width: 590px;\"><em>A photograph of Qualcomm&#8217;s San Diego headquarters. Image credit: Qualcomm<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The second benefit is the ability to quickly and easily prototype each other\u2019s newest technology and even co-develop joint prototypes together. By being in the same building and sharing the same facilities, both Qualcomm and Sony save the extra steps and bureaucracy involved when the partnership isn\u2019t under a single roof.<\/p>\n<p>This brings us to the third benefit, which is optimized architecture between each company\u2019s hardware. Being in close proximity means faster iteration cycles and improved communication to get better camera systems to market faster than ever and to \u2018create the camera of the future [that] will take professional image quality to the next level.\u2019<\/p>\n<table class=\"images noCrop singleNoBorder center\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-image-height=\"null\" data-image-width=\"590\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"image\" style=\"width: 590px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/files\/p\/articles\/9881009435\/CleanShot_2021-10-25_at_23.16.21_2x.jpeg\" target=\"article-0bde3310ec084b0e9609da538418018f\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/3.img-dpreview.com\/files\/p\/E~TS590x0~articles\/9881009435\/CleanShot_2021-10-25_at_23.16.21_2x.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3.img-dpreview.com\/files\/p\/E~TS1180x0~articles\/9881009435\/CleanShot_2021-10-25_at_23.16.21_2x.jpeg 2x\" width=\"590\" height=\"249\" border=\"0\" data-thumbnail-height=\"0\" data-thumbnail-width=\"590\" data-filename=\"CleanShot_2021-10-25_at_23.16.21_2x.jpeg\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"caption\" style=\"width: 590px;\"><em>Sony&#8217;s 1&#8243; image sensor inside its Xperia Pro-I smartphone.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Time will tell what fruit this partnership bears, but it seems promising to have two leaders in their respective industry working together to push technology forward. Could we one day see the benefits of this partnership \u2018trickle up\u2019 to larger camera sensors destined for more traditional camera systems? It\u2019s very possible. But, for now, let\u2019s just see what will come of this collaboration in the smartphone world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Author:<br \/>\nThis article comes from RSS FEEDS of <i>DP Review<\/i> and can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/9881009435\/qualcomm-reveals-the-three-benefits-its-expects-from-its-partnership-with-sony\"><b>read on the original site.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the opening keynote at its annual Snapdragon Summit where it revealed its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, Qualcomm announced it has partnered&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_customify_content_layout":"","_customify_sidebar":"","_customify_page_header_display":"default","_customify_disable_header":"","_customify_disable_header_top":"","_customify_disable_header_main":"","_customify_disable_header_bottom":"","_customify_disable_page_title":"","_customify_disable_content_vertical_padding":"","_customify_disable_footer_top":"","_customify_disable_footer_main":"","_customify_disable_footer_bottom":"","_customify_breadcrumb_display":"default","_customify_header_transparent_display":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[51,50,49,39,52],"class_list":["post-789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-camera-review-and-news","tag-camcorder","tag-camera","tag-dp-review","tag-news","tag-review"],"rttpg_featured_image_url":null,"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"Brokenmount","author_link":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/author\/sysop\/"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/category\/camera-review-and-news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Camera Reviews and News<\/a>","rttpg_excerpt":"During the opening keynote at its annual Snapdragon Summit where it revealed its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, Qualcomm announced it has partnered&hellip;","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=789"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":896,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789\/revisions\/896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brokenmount.com\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
