I have been resisting and poo poo-ing phone photography for years and of course for many applications it just cannot compete with the specialised lenses and stabilised camera bodies now available, but as any photographer knows, the best camera is the one that's to hand in the moment when an image needs to be captured. I'm something of a card carrying, cardigan wearing luddite myself and certainly miss a viewfinder within which to compose a shot, but the reality is, the market for "proper" camera's has been well and truly disrupted by the smart phone and as they improve still further with the addition of our and other's technology's the manufacturing equation for a seperate, dedicated, bulky, heavy, expensive, complicated tool declines. The iPhone I purchased a few months ago with it's 3 inbuilt lenses and inbuilt "processing"software and immediate connectivity just tends to be the tool thats always within reach and ridiculously easy and intuitive to use. I don't particularly like to take photo's with it, but I find the immediacy and portability of it are overwhelming my sensibilities. I still have my first corded "mobile" phone brick that didn't do anything other than make audio calls.
I can't bring myself to just throw it away. Always felt a bit like 007 or Henry Fonda (as the president in Failsafe) using it, and it's about as useful now as tits on a bull, but I still love it.

Sony’s phones, while mostly great pieces of technology, do not have the greatest sales in comparison to the big boys - Samsung and Apple. Here’s hoping if they utilise Akida IP in an upcoming smartphone, they manage to market their devices a bit better!My hero. I feel just like I did when my wife admitted that I was right for the first time in our then forty four years of marriage.
This is a lesson to all ‘if at first you don’t succeed keep trying’ eventually your wife and @Diogenese will be wrong because no one is perfect.

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
And we know from that video that I watched about fifty times that Qualcomm partnered with Valeo in designing the Snapdragon Ride Vision stack #30,533. And you can see from this slide that both Sony and Valeo are listed beneath the sensor section. In my view, it would be impossible for Sony not to be aware of Akida by virtue of our partnership with Valeo.
( Transcript from Qualcomm video at 1.03.05 )
"Moving on to the Snapdragon Ride Vision stack. So what we've done here is, when we partnered with Valeo, one thing was clear was that we needed to co-design the stack and the silicon from a power perspective, from an AI perspective, from being able to maximise the availability of the hardware that we needed from the software requirements that are coming in. And the big advantage that we see here is because this space is so continuously changing, we have the ability to work directly with customers, get new requirements from them, optimise the stack, but optimise it in a way that is best conducive for the hardware IP that we're building. So were able to optimize the utilization of the IP, the power requirements, so it is essentially and end to end system. Think of it like a modem where we have a lot of hardware and software coming together but it is co-designed.
The stack is now in it's 5th generation and it has actually been deployed by Volvo, by Mercedes, by Geely, by BYD, so there's a lot of miles in this stack, a lot of experience in this team. And we are working with many other OEM's including BMW for the next generation. The platform that Ride Vision runs on is an open platform, so wile we provide a vision stack, if you want to be able to bring your own parking stack or run your own drive policy or bring driver monitoring that is something that the platform allows. So it allows us to have an open platform while providing computer vision, it improves the overall (mumble, mumble ??) of the system, it is highly cost optimized for customers looking to select this platform."

Neither Samsung nor Apple will let Sony steal more of the market with any attribute perceived as game changingly better IMO.
They will be forced to adopt our tech either by buying, stealing or reinventing it.
Buying it will be the cheapest, fastest, least complicated option.

Unfortunately, it isn’t as simple as that. For instance - there’s the whole green bubble vs blue bubble message psychology. Even though Samsung have superior phone technology to Apple (Galaxy Fold 4, exhibit A), Apple haven’t needed the latest features to be the dominant force. They only just brought out ‘always on display’ features for example, 10+ years after Android.Neither Samsung nor Apple will let Sony steal more of the market with any attribute perceived as game changingly better IMO.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but consumer behaviour is hard to break. Ever tried switching from iOS to Android? It’s a nightmare. They know how to keep people in the ecosystem without having the best tech. Sony’s marketing for phones is pretty atrocious.

A few weeks old but I would've loved to be a fly on the wall when Prophesee pitched its new neuromorphic vision technology to its investors.
Prophesee closes €50M C Series round with new investment from Prosperity7 to drive commercialization of revolutionary neuromorphic vision technology;
Becomes EU’s most well-funded fabless semiconductor startup
Haven't seen so many small transactions this early for a long time.
Maybe the shorters have run out of people to buy off, especially since the last podcast?

Some light reading material on research that aims to one day allow neuromorphic chips to operate 100,000 times faster than the human brain. 
Superconducting hardware could scale up brain-inspired computing
Scientists have long looked to the brain as an inspiration for designing computing systems. Some researchers have recently gone even further by making computer hardware with a brainlike structure. These 'neuromorphic chips' have already shown great promise, but they have used conventional...

And that is why Sony working with Qualcomm is so significant it means that the Prophesee Brainchip solution will not just be in Sony phones.
Pretty simple equation:
Brainchip + Prophesee + Sony + Qualcomm + Samsung = large share of market.
And while Apple iPhones have ruled the latest 14 has had an underwhelming market reception because it offers users and fans nothing new. So much press and analysis around this fact it is hard to know how anyone could have missed it.
My opinion only DYOR or read what others posted here today proving the above connections.
