Sony Ericsson had announced their 12 megapixel camera module a couple of months ago, but now NEC is keeping them company with this here CE143 chip. We had heard rumblings that a 12 megapixel handset would be coming out from Samsung at Mobile World Congress, so if it does get announced, it’s entirely possible they made use of this technology. On top of processing images at 12 megapixels and integrating noise reduction, face recognition, and image stabilizing functions, the CE143 will also be able to pump out video in full 1080p HD quality. Yowza. Hopefully we’ll be able to see this thing in action at MWC… Head over here for the full technical specifications.
