Digitimes: Largan forecasts that 8MP will become the mainstream resolution in camera phones in the second half of 2011. As most first-tier handset vendors are set to launch new models at the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter, most of Largan's shipments are expected to turn to 8MP, up from less than 10% currently.
If Largan is correct in its predictions, it means that the mainstream phones are switching from 1/4" sensors to 1/3" ones, as most of the major companies are relying on 1.4um pixels as the current technology mainstream.
