Microsoft will announce a new webcam this spring alongside the Surface Laptop 4 and other devices, according to a recent report. Petri’s Brad Sams reports that Microsoft will announce a new webcam alongside a new Surface Laptop and other peripherals.
The webcam appears to be aimed at business and everyday use. It reportedly supports HDR video and has a privacy shutter. According to Sams’ sources, the new webcam will not support 4K, though he does not specify what resolution it will support.
Webcams don’t have to support 4K to deliver good video quality. In fact, many of the best webcams only support up to 1080p.
Even if we had the specs of the webcam, it wouldn’t paint the full picture in terms of image quality. There are good and bad 1080p webcams, and the age and quality of the sensor makes a large difference. We’ll have to see what Microsoft shares this spring and then get our hands on the device to see how it stacks up.
The most recent reports state that Microsoft will also announce the Surface Laptop 4 this spring. The alleged specs of the Surface Laptop 4 recently leaked online. There are a few specs that seem to be off, but they give us a clearer picture of the upcoming laptop.
We don’t have an exact date for the upcoming announcements, but they will likely be sometime in April.
