Homtom has just released another piece of specs description for their upcoming flagship model Homtom HT10 and this time it’s the cameras. Details are pretty vague, but still worth sharing at least the the plain general announcement.
Apparently the HT10 model is going to flash some serious megapixels with 21 Mpix rear camera 8 Mpix selfie front one. Sadly not a word about the actual used camera hardware so we can only speculate, personally im leaning towards the rear one being Sony IMX230.
UPDATE : Rear camera is indeed Sony IMX230 and the front one Sony IMX219. Confirmed directly by Homtom.

Of course the megapixels are not the only important thing and the smaller Chinese brands are often suffering with poor software optimizations so lets’s hope that’s not going to be the case with this Homtom. No real photo samples available yet the one relased promo shot (see above) is inconclusive. As soon as we get our hands on the first batch of the samples we will of course share those with our readers right away.
Megapixels matter only to fools who are swayed by Megapixel wars. Phone camera pictures are a complicated brew of Camera hardware, Lens, software et.al. and very few phone makers like Apple, Sammy, etc. Have got the the mixture exactly right. For me the iPhone 6s+ cam is most sorted for a common user like me.
totally agreed !
but mega pixels do matter, like you said its a mixture, not all carry the same weight but they are all ingredients, two cameras with identical every thing but mega pixels, the one with more mega pixels is better
We all agree but we are here in HOPE that one of this devices will do a fair job. As not everyone is looking to fork out usd$ 800.oo for an IPHONE or $750 for the Sammy no phun intended …
