Tecno, new telephoto camera technologies introduced — Tecno recently held the fifth edition of the Tecno Future Lens event, aimed at showcasing the company’s imaging technologies. This year’s highlights included the **Dual-Mirror Reflect Telephoto** and **Freeform Continuum Telephoto** systems.

Freeform Continuum Telephoto

As the name suggests, Freeform Continuum Telephoto offers a seamless and smooth zoom within a single periscope structure. Developed by Tecno, this design covers a range from 1x to 9x, eliminating the need for a separate telephoto camera. This module can function as the main camera at 1x while providing more zoom than most currently used fixed-focus telephoto lenses.

This approach has additional advantages. In certain phones, noticeable jumps can occur when switching between different cameras during digital zooming. Manufacturers also struggle to match color tones across different cameras, leading to subtle color shifts during transitions. Using a single camera module for all these tasks eliminates these issues, along with preventing quality loss during digital zoom’s intermediate stages.

Dual-Mirror Reflect Telephoto

This system resembles the reflective lenses long used in DSLR or mirrorless cameras. Such lenses can offer a compact and lightweight design while providing large focal lengths. Some users may view this ring effect as a disadvantage, while others adopt it as a characteristic feature (also known as “iris blur”). Essentially, this system operates like a miniature catadioptric telescope.

However, there is a drawback; the Dual-Mirror Reflect Telephoto module causes a loss of light equivalent to one stop. Nevertheless, the technology is ready for commercialization, and the company plans to use it in their phones next year.

In contrast, the Freeform Continuum Telephoto is still in the development phase, as it presents a more complex structure. It may take at least another year before this technology becomes commercially available. Tecno is collaborating with Samsung and Largan for the production of these lenses.

The company is also continuing to develop a system known as “Tecno Image Matrix” or “TIM” for short. This end-to-end solution is defined as a four-layered structure made up of various components.
