What is a liquid lens? The tech that could revolutionize camera phones explained | TechRadar

Lenses and liquids are generally best kept separate, yet the future of photography could lie in combining the two with, you guessed it, liquid lenses.
The average camera phone lens today is restricted to a fixed focal length. Adding versatility means either adding more lenses – or switching to a larger camera with adjustable optical elements.
Not so with liquid lenses: they use a small pocket of fluid instead of physical discs, changing shape to direct and focus light. They’re small, super-fast and sturdy, too. And they could change the world of smartphone photography.
