That safe for the environment?

    This lens tech is for infrared wavelengths. So, not really for smartphones or ILCs. Most likely for security, and heat surveillance testing in industrial setups.

      Anonymous, 29 Jan 2022Pretty sure Apple has this technology since 1980A decade before Apple's even touched the digital camera market? You stupid or?

        The problem with camera lenses (I'm talking about real stand alone cameras), even though it is expensive to create the glass, polish it to a lens shape, it's the LABOR and TIME to create, build & test lenses (especially prime lenses) that causes the cost to be expensive.
        What smartphones need, it to stop with the multiple lenses on the backs of smartphones, and use one LARGER element with LARGER pixels, instead of stuffing hundreds of thousands of super tiny sensors in a super tiny space. Granted, smartphones do a pretty good job taking photos, it could be a whole different level if they switched to a LARGER lens.

                "gas contamination"

                Is this why some redmi phone's camera lens had that fog underneath the class

                I believe it was the redmi note 9 line up that had the issue

                    Every company copies. Your prejudice against Samsung is comical.

Not only do we have a surveillance camera, but we also have IR sensor to detect conceal weapons.

                                    ... won't affect conventional lenses, unless they're "chalcogenide lenses"

                                    Nice clickbait, though.
