Here is good news for phone owners who want better images. NEC has reportedly shipped samples of their CE 131 image processing LSI chips which can be used in camera phones. The said chip allows up to 8MP or 1.6 times better resolution than the standard phone cameras today.

The LSI sits between the CMOS sensor and application processor in a mobile phone. It displays signals from the sensor on the device’s screen and makes the signals printable.

The CE131 has an interface for a 512Mbit external memory, allowing for the processing of much larger image data than the existing model.

Each LSI sample chip is said to be worth $33. Actual production will commence in October.
