Sony debuts smartphone camera sensor with DSLR-like autofocus

Further encroaching on the camera space, Sony has just released a new “stacked CMOS sensor” that will reportedly place an effective 21 megapixels into a 1/2.4-inch-sized form factor. The Exmor RS IMX230 comes with a built-in 192-point phase detection autofocus, which means it can keep fast-moving objects sharp, as well as HDR and 4K video. This new sensor will debut in April 2015 and will most likely be seen in Sony’s new flagship.

Nokia teases mysterious black box

After selling off its mobility branch to Microsoft, Nokia doesn’t want that to stop its business. They’ve teased a mysterious black box on their Twitter account. The Finnish brand will reportedly reveal what they’re cooking up tomorrow. One thing we’re certain is it can’t be a mobile phone. From the looks of the box, it can be a set-top box much like the Nexus Player. But we can’t be certain until Nokia unveils it. Any guesses to what it could be?

Guess what? We’re up to something. http://t.co/AFq4dUFI9S #thinkingahead #Slush14 pic.twitter.com/sqERYpz0Vc
