Tecno, known for its camera innovation, is pushing the boundaries of mobile photography. While the Samsung Galaxy S24 boasts an impressive 200MP camera, Tecno aims to double that, offering a staggering 400MP experience on future Android devices. At their recent Future Lens 2024 event, Tecno unveiled groundbreaking imaging technologies and an AI-powered processing system poised to reshape mobile photography.
EVS Dynamic Snapshot: Capturing Motion with Precision
One of Tecno’s key innovations is the EVS Dynamic Snapshot, designed to address the limitations of traditional snapshot methods and enhance the clarity of action photos. By combining Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS) with CMOS sensors, EVS Dynamic Snapshot captures the complete trajectory of moving objects, unlike traditional cameras that rely on frame-by-frame data acquisition. This innovative approach promises to eliminate motion blur and deliver crisper, more dynamic action shots.
TAZDPT: AI-Powered Zoom for Effortless Telephoto Shots
Tecno’s Tap Any Zoom Dual Prism Telephoto (TAZDPT) technology utilizes AI algorithms to optimize telephoto photography. Users simply tap their desired target, and the camera automatically zooms to the optimal level, up to an impressive 30x magnification. This technology significantly reduces the impact of vibrations, resulting in sharper, more stable telephoto images.

Telephoto Sweep: Ushering in the 400MP Era
The most anticipated innovation is Telephoto Sweep, which captures multiple full-frame images and seamlessly stitches them together to create a composite 400MP image. This high-resolution image allows for flexible reframing during editing without compromising image quality. While the implementation details remain unclear, it’s likely to resemble a panoramic shot, requiring users to move their phones during capture. This innovative approach is facilitated by dual prisms capable of capturing clear images at distances up to 14 times greater than a standard 125mm camera.
Tecno Image Matrix: The AI Brain Powering Image Optimization
These advancements are driven by Tecno’s Image Matrix, a redesigned processor utilization system optimizing power consumption for complex AI computations. This “brain” enhances color accuracy, image quality, low-light performance, and more, without excessive battery drain. This efficient processing system addresses the increasing power demands of AI in mobile photography.
The Future of Mobile Photography
Tecno has not yet announced a release date for these technologies. However, if they reach the market soon, it could trigger a shift in the mobile photography landscape, prompting competitors like Samsung to develop similar capabilities for their future devices.
