[Q] Hope for OIS for the mini?

[HandyBesitzer]

Is there hope that the OIS will come also for the mini? maybe with a port from the big brother??

Or is this impossible?

 

[Busted.]

I guess the IS is not a software, but Hardware ?

I have many different Lenses for my DSLR Camera and some are with the IS, some are without it. So I'd say its Hardware..
But Im not sure..

Good question, Im interested, too!

I say that OIS is software all the way.
But for such software to run, you need a speedy processor, which the Mini lacks.
Bottom line: it's probably possible if some good devs buy the Mini, so they can port it. But it'll probably not run, or run badly because of the relatively slow CPU.

It's software. Not hardware.

But are you sure, that the mini is too slow??

I mean it's a quadcore with 1,4 (?) GHz. And the One has 1,7 (?).

So if you may overclock the mini it could work??

.............MSM8960 is not a quad-core cpu.

@CNexus, how can you always be everywhere? No wonder you're a RC, you really do show up on every forum, helping people.

Also, Wikipedia says there's gonna be two versions:
The LTE one will have a 8930AB chip.
And the non-LTE one, aka 601e, will have a 8230AB chip.
The same chips, but I'm guessing one has built-in LTE and the other one doesn't...?

Also, Wikipedia also says this about OIS:
"This technology is implemented in the lens itself /.../" but that the image is processed later on. So it's partly hardware, but you do need a CPU capable of that 'processing'.

Also also, there do exist quad-core S400 chips. Maybe that got you confused

EDIT: GSMArena's review of the phone says that the lens itself does not support OIS. So there's that.

 

[CNexus]

Because I see all....

Lol

Anyway, the Mini is MSM8960, I have the dump and everything points to that

There may be quad-core S400 chips, but the specific S400 that the M4 uses is msm8960 which is dual-core.
