DownloadWhen the Visualphone VP210 hit the market in 1999,
it advertised a never-before-seen feature:
a camera.
With only 0.11 megapixels and storage for 20 photos,
the Visualphone is a relic compared to modern devices
sporting three distinct cameras, each with up to 100 times more resolution.
But while this technology has improved dramatically in the 21st century,
engineers are rapidly approaching a hard limit on phone camera quality.
