Qemfor: The Phone with Four Cameras on Four Sides

Revolutionizing Mobile Photography with 360-Degree Recording

Social media has become an integral part of our lives, allowing us to capture and share our memories, works, and emotions. With the rise of live streaming and video services, having good camera features on our phones has become more important than ever.

Introducing Qemfor, a groundbreaking phone designed by Mr. Sadik Patel that features four inbuilt cameras on all four sides. This innovative design allows for efficient recording from the front, back, left, and right directions, providing users with a 360-degree view of their surroundings.

Each camera is strategically placed on a different side of the phone, offering individual or simultaneous use. Qemfor's unique feature eliminates the need to constantly adjust the camera direction when recording moving objects, as it covers maximum areas of the surroundings from different angles, resulting in stunning 3D images.

One of the main advantages of Qemfor is its ability to capture recordings from the side cameras without the need to turn the body towards the car window or any other direction. This feature is particularly useful for travelers who often miss out on capturing recordings from the other side of the car, leading to discomfort and potential neck and back pain. With Qemfor, users can simply keep the mobile screen straight towards their faces and still capture recordings from the side cameras.

Another remarkable feature of Qemfor is its hands-free recording capability. Once the camera is set in recording mode, the side cameras continue to record even if the phone is unattended or placed flat on a desk or floor.

The technology behind Qemfor allows users to take side recordings by utilizing the left and right cameras, which cover areas not captured by the front and back cameras. Users have the flexibility to use one, two, three, or all four cameras simultaneously, with an adjustable screen ratio. For privacy purposes, users can also turn off the cameras they do not wish to use.

All four cameras in Qemfor have different definitions, resolutions, lens qualities, or sensors, ensuring a balance between cost and quality. This design consideration allows for a versatile range of options to suit different user preferences and requirements.

Operating Qemfor is a breeze with its user-friendly software. Users have full control over all cameras, enabling them to choose between single or multiple camera usage for video shoots or still images. The size of the screens can be adjusted to provide a larger or smaller vision, and settings such as zoom, brightness, contrast, and time-lapse can be easily configured through the phone software.

The Qemfor project was initiated in July 2016 in London and completed by December 2016. Throughout the design process, Mr. Sadik Patel conducted extensive research, observing how people hold their phones, their body movements, and the challenges they face when recording moving objects. This research formed the foundation for the unique and functional features of Qemfor.

Overcoming various creative, technical, and research challenges, Qemfor successfully expanded camera coverage while maintaining a compact size, lightweight design, and affordability. By incorporating two internal cameras on the left and right sides of the phone, the design team achieved a well-balanced, steady, and professional recording experience.

Qemfor's functional features and innovative design have garnered recognition in the industry. In 2017, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements, contributing to a better world.

Qemfor, with its four cameras on four sides, is revolutionizing mobile photography and providing users with a whole new level of recording capabilities. Whether capturing memories, creating content, or simply expressing oneself, Qemfor is the ultimate tool for capturing life from every angle.
