Nokia is preparing "something amazing" - smartphones with post-focus cameras?
A few days ago, a promising advertisement appeared in the Nokia store in Helsinki:
from which it follows that immediately after the Nokia World conference, which is scheduled to take place on September 5th and 6th of this year, the company intends to present “something amazing” to the public.

Despite the reassuring statements of some experts that Lumia smartphones are selling better than the iPhone and Android devices at the start of their sales, it’s still accepted that things in the Finnish company are not going well. Against the background of rumors that the summer release of Windows Phone 8 is postponed due to the need to fix a large number of bugs, so even the developers of the mobile unit were forced to interrupt their vacations, the expectations of users hoping to purchase a smartphone with a new system instead of WP 7.8 Look a bit overpriced.
However, it should be acknowledged that Nokia is not sitting still, and probably intends to amaze its audience with one of its brand-name skates - the photographic capabilities of its devices (like the PureView with a 41 megapixel camera). It became known that the Finnish company acquired the company Scalado, which is developing a technology of post-focus shooting.
About a year ago , the cameras Lytro, produced by Scalado, which were filmed using the technology developed at Stanford University, were already mentioned at Habré. The technology of post-focus shooting allows you to take pictures by simply pressing the camera button “automatically”, and the camera’s feature is such that absolutely any object in the picture can be in focus, regardless of the distance from it.
It looks like this (the picture is taken from the above-mentioned topic):
Nokia has fully acquired Scalado, having received a development team and a patent portfolio package. Vice-President of the Finnish company Samuli Hanninen, says that Lytro itself is already a serious technology that none of the competitors have, and combining it with a powerful PureView with a huge number of megapixels can make the notorious “killer feature” out of new Nokia devices. ”, Capable of dragging the attention of consumers from the giants of the market - Apple and Samsung.
On Habré there is a review of the Lytro camera.
