New smartphone has a “built-in GoPro”August 13, 2016 - 11:39 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Whether you're surfing around a Hawaiian paradise or trekking through an African rainforest, normal smartphones just can't capture video in the same way as standalone cameras. That could be about to change, though, with a new handset looking to finally pair the world of action cameras with an everyday smartphone we can catch Pokémon on, Digital Spy said. Kyocera's DuraForce Pro military-grade device not only offers the standard 13-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front-facing camera, it also boasts an additional action camera which captures everything through a 135-degree field-of-view lens. The action camera can shoot video in 1080p HD resolution, while also supporting slow-motion, time-lapse and aqua-themed shooting. The DuraForce Pro is dust and water-resistant - meaning it can be submerged in the same manner as Samsung's recently released Galaxy Note 7 - while also being tough enough to outlast extreme shock, pressure and temperatures. The device's internal specs hint it will fall within the mid-range of smartphones on the market, though we won't know for sure until the phone is priced and released later this fall. In the meantime, it could be a wise move to hold back on that GoPro purchase. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
