Nokia patents hints at phone with swiveling camera

Nokia has developed a unique way of incorporating a camera into a phone that can adjust for different shooting modes while improving quality of the resulting shots, a patent filing published late last week reveals. Macnn reports.

"The design would rest the camera in a bar mounted sideways at the top of the phone, taking up no more space than an average camera; it could then swivel when the user wants to capture photos to face both outwards for everyday images or inwards for self-portraits and video calls.

Such an invention would allow more advanced sensors and lenses to fit with the same flexibility as many other phones, Nokia says."
