poLight ASA announced that the company has confirmed the high performance of the front-facing autofocus selfie camera enabled by TLens®? on the MEIZU 20 Infinity smartphone, that clearly demonstrates exceptional image quality replicating the human eye as reported during the company's last quarterly earnings presentation. The MEIZU 20Infinity smartphone, which began shipping in volume in June, features a 32MP camera leveraging the poLight TLens®?, providing instantaneous focus up to 10x faster than competing technologies.

Its sharp, fast, constant field of view functionality is ideal for continuous video capture, All-In-Focus or Light Field Capture without additional image editing software, setting the MEIZU 20 Infinity smartphones ahead of the competition as consumers' desire for optimal selfie video and picture taking continues to grow. During the product unveiling event in Shanghai, China, March 30, 2023, MEIZU's executive highlighted the TLens®?tunable optics technology as the driving force behind the MEIZU 20 Infinity selfie camera functionality. Smartphones dominate photo capture, driven by selfies, Millennials and image-based applications.

According to Phot tutorials, of the 1.72 trillion photos taken every year, 92.5% of all photos taken in 2023 will be captured by a smartphone, and one in every third will be a selfie. By region, the average United States citizen takes 20.2 photos per day, followed by Asia-Pacific with 15 photos per day, Latin America with 11.8 photos per day, and Europe with 4.9 photos per day. This age group is expected to take 25,000 selfies during their lifetime, spending 38 hours each year taking those selfies according to a Luster survey of 1,000 U.S. millennials.

Selfie imaging-based social media application platforms continue to dominate social networks with seven out of the top 10 relying on photos, with BeReal usage growing 315% in 2022 and increasing to six million people accessing the app daily in March 2023. Smartphones that excel in capturing selfies will support this in-demand application. Tunable optics technology drives innovation: poLight's TLens®?
