AVING reports: “Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced that they developed world’s first 8M CMOS camera module for a cellphone. Featuring a CMOS sensor, this 8M camera module measures only 10.5 X 11.5 X 9.4mm and supports auto focus, which means that it can still maintain a small form factor similar to the size of current 3M camera phone while offering the performance of 8M camera phone.”

“The company said that they were able to invent this tiny camera module with auto focus functionality thanks to its exclusive PIEZO technology, and they will start mass production in the first half of next year.”
