How Ultrapixel Camera Works? Is it better?

Ultrapixel Camera works with three overlaid sheets of pixels on the sensor which ultimately provides bigger pixel size over just total pixel count which can record more light and data on our photos display with more shades and greater color accuracy. There are many other technical things which works to give better image.

The 4-megapixel camera on the HTC One outputs 2688 x 1520 images. The HTC One’s OIS works at an “unprecedented” frequency of 2000Hz and has been made small enough to fit inside the HTC One’s relatively thin chassis.

HTC one Have Better Camera?

It seems that HTC One is likely capture very good images with excellent dynamic range and low noise.As mentioned above image size will be of 2688 x 1520 resolution but e quality will be much better than standard cameras. Cuurently we are clear about its competition with iPhone 5 or Nokia PureView 808.
