Not all devices will take advantage of Lollipop’s new camera API

Android 5.0 Lollipop has a new camera API that allows the capture of RAW photos. Many people have noticed the change with the Nexus 5, but those with a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 haven’t. The reason is that it’s hardware based. Devices that use a processor for image processing that is not part of the SoC (external ISP) will not be able to take advantage of it. The Nexus 4 and Nexus 7′s fall into that category.



Other phones that will also have the same issue will be the Galaxy S 4, HTC One (M7), HTC One (M8), and the Moto X (2013).


Does this news make you want to go out and buy a new phone?
