OnePlus 2 phone takes better images due to gyro and proximity sensors

The new smart phone model OnePlus 2 uses ultra-fast focus time and optical anti-shake technology to improve the picture quality clicked by its cameras. It is possible due to the use of advanced motion and proximity sensors in OnePlus 2. OnePlus 2 is powered by the mems-based STMicroelectronics' sensors achieving ultra-fast 0.2s “human-eye” -grade focus time and advanced optical anti-shake technology resulting in 20% improvement in effective image resolution and 55% reduction in power consumption compared with standard optical anti-shake mobile-camera systems. ST’s L2G2IS gyroscope mems sensor helps in optical image stabilization (OIS). The two-axis MEMS gyro integrates a special sensing element that provides the measured angular rate to the camera through a digital interface. Whereas the distance between the smartphone and the object is measured using ST’s VL6180 proximity sensor enhancing camera’s auto-focus performance in the OnePlus 2. VL6180 uses ST’s innovative FlightSense optical-sensing technology to accelerate auto-focus time and improve picture quality, especially in macro mode and low-ambient-light environments. Enabling the 360-degree camera feature and improving gesture control and mobile-gaming experience for OnePlus 2 users, ST also provides a sensor system-in-package (LSM330) consisting of a 3D digital accelerometer with two programmable embedded state m...
