    Since Instagram doesn’t allow images of over 1080 pixels to be uploaded, the image’s compression might deprive users of some important aspects of the picture. Nonetheless, the composition can be appreciated owing to the crisp colour balance, darkness and highlights.

    Nokia’s Penta lens setup has been the talk of the town since its revelation last year. With a distinctive arrangement, the 5 camera lenses may use computational photography to generate high quality images. The HMD Global owned brand teamed up with Zeiss to patent a ‘miniaturized zoom camera’ system, which forms the basis of the Nokia 9’s camera. 

    Expected Specifications

    The Nokia 9 may sport a 5.99 inch AMOLED display with a 2960×1440 px resolution. The smartphone will have Gorilla Glass protection which will safeguard it against scratches and accidental drops. It will run on the Snapdragon 845 chipset, which consists of an octa-core CPU paired with an Adreno 630 GPU. The smartphone is speculated to be available in 4GB and 6GB RAM variants which will be paired with 128GB of internal storage. Reportedly it will be powered a 4150 mAh battery which will be charged via a USB Type-C port. Past leaks have claimed that the smartphone will also have an in-display fingerprint scanner and IP68 dust and water resistance.

    Sony Partners With Light To Make Multi-Camera Modules For Smartphones

    Smartphone photography has seen an exponential increase in quality over the last few years. With devices like Google’s Pixel, Apple’s iPhone and Huawei flagships continuously pushing the boundaries of innovation in mobile photography. One such company, Light tried to push the envelope even further with their L16 model in 2017. Noteworthy, the device had 16 cameras at the back. It relied on computational photography to take high quality, detailed pictures. According to a press release, the company has collaborated with Sony to make multi-camera modules for smartphones.

    Changing The Future Of Smartphones

    Nokia 10

    This collaboration will make use of Sony’s image sensors and Light’s computational photography to make use in smartphones with four or more cameras on one side. This will not be exclusive to either one of the two companies but will be provided to any manufacturer for use in their devices. Interestingly, many smartphones today use Sony’s imaging sensors. The latest product from the company includes the IMX586, a 48MP sensor for smartphones last seen in the Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 9.

    Light is not a new name in the smartphone business. Last year, it provided the computation photography in phones like the Huawei P20 Pro. The rumoured Nokia 9 PureView, is also rumoured to sport Light’s technology for its Penta-rear camera setup. The multiple cameras in a smartphone may be used for many different purposes, like providing optical zoom and ultra-wide angle capabilities. But, the company uses these multiple sensors as RGB and Monochrome sensors to produce images with enhanced quality and detail.

  • Apple Will Use 5nm Processors For iPhones Starting 2020

    Apple Will Use 5nm Processors For iPhones Starting 2020

    Apple is best known for making premium smartphones which offer top of the charts performance. Though many other OEM’s have taken a lead in the design and optics department, none of them has even come close to the processing power Apple’s A-series of SoC’s have. Its latest chipset, the Apple A12 is reported to be a full generation ahead of Qualcomm and Huawei’s offering, the Snapdragon 855 and the Kirin 980 respectively. Fresh reports state that Apple is planning to use 5nm processors in iPhones starting the year 2020.

    Apple’s 5nm Processors

    Reports state that Apple’s chipset supplier, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company(TSMC) will announce its 5nm fabrication process in a few days. The event will take place on February 25 at the Mobile World Congress(MWC) in Barcelona. Apple will reportedly soon place an order for the manufacturing of 5nm chipsets which will be used in the 2020 iPhones. This chipset is expected to be called the A14 Bionic and would support 5G and enhanced machine learning capabilities.

    Apple’s new 5nm chipsets will be made using a new technology called Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography, developed by TSMC. This technology would allow the company to pack more transistors in a confined space, making the chip smaller. This would then result in increased performance and efficiency of the new smartphones. TSMC claims that it will be able to mass produce these chipsets by 2020, confirming the reports. There were also reports claiming Apple would release a 5G iPhone next year. This device is expected to have an Intel modem to support the new communication standard.

    Apple was one of the first company’s to unveil a 7nm chipset, the A12 Bionic in 2018; when they announced the current generation of iPhones . Other chipset manufacturers, like Qualcomm and Huawei also started manufacturing SoC’s using the 7nm fabrication process; but their products weren’t at par with Apple’s offering. In almost all the benchmarks, the Apple A12 Bionic has the Kirin 980 and the Snapdragon 855 beat. Unlike Apple, the competition isn’t likely to switch to 5nm chipsets as soon as next year, so they may release devices with 5nm chips in or after the year 2021.

    A good camera is a prerequisite for premium smartphones these days. An average smartphone can be deemed as a good smartphone if the camera of the device performs up to the mark. Flagship smartphones such as Google Pixel 3 and the Apple iPhone XS hold the top spots when it’s about camera performance. However, with the release of newer devices which are challenging this niche at a much lower price, improvements in the camera become very necessary. Xiaomi Mi 9 and Samsung Galaxy S10+ are the latest smartphones to get their cameras examined by DxOMark, the pioneers in camera benchmarking.

    Xiaomi Mi 9

    Xiaomi released the Mi 9 in China on February 20, and it has been the talk of the town since its launch. With flagship-level specifications at almost half the price of premium smartphones, there are high expectations from the camera of the Mi 9.

    As per DxOMark, Mi 9 is the best Xiaomi device they have tested to date. It almost secured the top spot in their smartphone camera ranking list. A score of 112 points clearly displayed the camera’s ability to take high-quality images. Also, the Mi 9’s camera scored 99 points when it was tested for video recording, which is the best video score so far.

    Samsung Galaxy S10+

    The Samsung Galaxy S10+ also passed the DxOMark test, and it did so by claiming the first rank next to the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro. The device was launched on February 21 and was given the title of “the best front camera performance for both still images and video” by DxOMark.

    The device sports a triple rear camera setup which consists of a 12MP (f/1.5- f/2.4) primary sensor, 12MP (f/2.4) telephoto sensor and a third 16 MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide sensor. The smartphone also has a dual front camera module, which is a combination of a 10MP (f/1.9) sensor and an 8MP (f/2.2) sensor housed in the punch-hole display.

  • Samsung Will Finally Allow Users To Remap The Bixby Button

    Samsung Will Finally Allow Users To Remap The Bixby Button

    Samsung has time and again proved its hardware prowess with its flagship smartphones. The devices offer cutting-edge design and features but they always had an Achilles heel, their software. The software that the company provides with the handsets has not always fared well with the audience. Introducing Bixby in 2017 made their problems worse as they gave users a voice assistant they didn’t ask for. The company also added a non-remappable button to the mix, making problems worse. But Samsung has announced that its flagships running Samsung’s latest OneUI will get an option to remap the infamous Bixby Button.

    Samsung Bixby Remapping

    Samsung recently started updating its yesteryear’s flagships to Android Pie based OneUI. These devices include the Galaxy S8 and S8+, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9 and S9+ and Galaxy Note 9. These devices are also set to get the option to remap the Bixby Button to a third party app. The option is currently only available in the latest Galaxy S10 series of smartphones. Notably, the Bixby button works via three methods, a single press, a double press and a long press on the button activates the voice assistant. After the update, it will be possible to remap it to a third party app using any of the above functions. For example, if you set a single press on the button to open the camera, a double and a long press would still activate Bixby.

    Samsung’s decision to allow the Bixby button to be remapped may come as a reason to rejoice for many users. It is expected to make using the company’s flagships convenient by providing the ability to remap the button to any app. Bixby as a voice assistant has not seen the popularity that Samsung may have expected it to be. According to a study, the users of the assistant are as low as 4% in the US. Unfortunately, the company has not provided any information about the timeline of the update for older devices, but it is expected to arrive in a few weeks.

    The Galaxy S10 5G runs on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC which is manufactured using 7nm fabrication process. It has an Octa-core CPU and Adreno 640 GPU. The device features the Qualcomm X50 modem for 5G support. In terms of storage, it features 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. There is no support for memory expansion via MicroSD.

    The Galaxy S10 5G is powered by a 4,500mAh battery, larger than the 4100mAh present on the Galaxy S10+. The device supports 25W fast charging via the bottom mounted USB Type-C Port. Noteworthy, the premium smartphone also supports wireless charging. Like its siblings, it also has a reverse wireless charging feature.
