LOL!
I can't see a periscope thingy working all that well on an already light limited small sensor.
Even tho materials have progressed to an awesome level now, with more awesome to come .. they're going to lost a fair amount of light via the use of at least two mirrors in a periscope design.

Even if that loss of light is only 1/6Ev .. it's still 1/6th less than the non periscope type sensor module.


I reckon it's one of those things that they needed to design simply to hold the rights to such a design.

And here's a similar concept from another start up:

LG looks like they are getting more serious with their next flagship:

Damn.. How I wish I can get up to 30sec exposures.

I think Sony likes phone cameras too

I'm sure they all do. The sheer size of the market commands the attention that it does and every feature front is a battle front.

Here's another patent down the image-shift line of thinking to increase resolution.

Best phone camera quality I've seen to date. But lens seem to underperform a little on the edge, or my expectations are just unrealistic :P
Yes to the larger sensor, no to the large MP count.
