  • The answer is here, but you just can’t fight physics. Light needs to come through a lens and hit a sensor. There has to be some significant distance, in relation to the thickness of the phone for this to work. Until camera technology advances and somehow produces a comparatively sharp image, we will be stuck with the bump. It’ll happen at some point I’m sure, but there is a whole bunch of tech that will need to change to get there.






  • I understand resolution improvements but I don’t understand the push for higher framerate for film. In real life motion is blurred when things move, the higher the framerate the less of that you see.

    For me it’s awful, the “soap opera” effect or whatever else they call it kills me, like I’m seeing a cgi picture even when I know everything was captured in camera.

    24-30fps is the sweet spot for film and TV imho, I have yet to see a good argument for watching regular real time footage at a higher frame rate.

    (To be clear - of course high speed footage for super slo mo and all of that has plenty of cool applications)


  • I dont know anything specific about this particular model but these are concepts that have been recycled. The drivetrain is some flavor of a direct drive, looks similar to a differential on a car. The wheels are basically spinning around a slightly smaller inner wheel that acts like a huge hub - probably with a layer of ball bearings in between. Something like that, I didn’t zoom in but thats generally how these things work (if at all).
