Spectricity produces a multispectral imager (MSI) sensor, which looks deep into visible light to bring more natural colors and vastly improved white balance to smartphone photos.

The mobile industry hasn’t rushed to adopt the new technology, but the company is adapting.

The S1-A is a combined MSI and camera module that attaches to the back of a tablet and captures 15 channels of visible light.

The sensor is part of the Huawei Mate 70 Pro’s camera, a device not yet released outside China .

In a demonstration, I saw just how effective they can be at balancing colors and white balance in challenging lighting.

It's not a small alteration, and you don’t need to be an expert to see how it improves photos.
