Idea - Phone 4a Pro - Glyph doubles as a Camera Ring Flash

teqteq

OK, 4a is old news now :-) So taking inspiration from the 4a glyph Litmus Paper, and from the round camera island of 3a Pro, clearly for the 4a Pro the glyph should be a circular single ring spanning the full circumference of the camera island, so it doesn’t stand out to non-nerds as a glyph, and appeals to the mainstream and photographers as a very functional ring flash (guess you better maker sure it has a decent macro capability too).

BUT, the ring is not a single LED, but an LED strip capable of complex animations, similar to addressable LED strips in stage lighting and installation. A frosted LED ring with detailed and smooth LED animation. And complex control for photography also.

teqteq I can see the intro already. All focused on this awesome ring flash that you can’t believe no phone maker ever thought of before, but the flash smoothly fades out then BAM! Flashes back looking exactly like the glyphs of old because of the detailed addressability of the LED strip, able to imitate the curves of the old glyphs. And then those glyphes start rotating, overlapping, rippling. And the crowd goes wild because all of their dreams have come true.
