Nokia Smartphone With Triple Cameras And Notch-Less Display Leaked

HMD Global has almost made a comeback to the smartphone market with its extensive lineup of smartphones. The Nokia phones now cover every segment from budget phones to flagship phones. The company is not holding back in terms of design and features when it comes to their phones. A latest leak points at more of the same. An upcoming smartphone from Nokia, most probably a flagship phone has been leaked in images. The phone has a triple rear camera setup and what appears to be a bezel less and notch less display.

The images surfaced on Weibo, the Chinese social networking site and are what appear to be hands-on images of a Nokia smartphone. The phone sports a glass back with a vertically arranges triple rear camera and an LED flash right below that module. The back also houses the Nokia branding. While the triple rear camera is not very surprising in today’s day and age, it is a step up from the current Nokia design language which has only dual rear cameras.

However, the most interesting part of the leak is the front of the device. The display sports thick bezels on each side, including a really thick bottom chin. However, it lacks a notch or camera cutout of any sort and it is not clear as to where the front camera is located. It is therefore logical to assume that Nokia has also jumped on to the sliding camera bandwagon with this phone.

This means that a sliding panel beneath the display will house the front facing camera and the associated sensors. It could also point towards a pop up camera, which was seen on the Vivo Nex. Another striking feature is the lack of a physical fingerprint reader on the back. This hints at an in-display fingerprint sensor fitted into the phone.

However, the leak does not look totally convincing. For starters, the phone does not carry the Zeiss branding along with the camera setup. Being a flagship level phone, it is obvious that this Nokia should have Zeiss optics. Another issue is the odd design which has extremely thick bezels and and a massive chin. If the company has put in so much effort into this phone, it surely wouldn’t bring out such a dated design. But then again, that is what we thought about the high notch and the Pixel 3 XL and that turned out to be true!

Huawei P30 To Feature A 40 MP Triple Rear Camera

The Huawei P20 Pro had made a mark in the smartphone industry with its unique triple rear camera setup. It consisted of a primary 40 MP lens and had great camera performance. Huawei is expected to keep up this camera performance with the upcoming P30. Earlier leaks had suggested the presence of a quad rear camera on the P30 Pro. But nothing much was known about the non-pro version. Now, a leaker has revealed that the P30 will have a triple rear camera and will be a camera-centric phone.

The Leak

According to a popular leaker, the Huawei P30 has a triple rear camera. This includes a 40 MP sensor and also, 5x lossless zoom. Along with this, it is said to have a 24 MP front facing camera. The source also mentions that he go this information from someone who has seen the device in person, making the leak credible. At least, that is what he claims.

The Huawei P30 promises to be another imaging powerhouse, according to someone who's seen one: triple rear camera, with a maximum resolution of 40MP and 5x lossless zoom, plus a 24MP selfie cam. And this isn't even the Pro variant.

Considering the fact that the P20 Pro had a 40 MP , 20 MP and 8 MP triple camera setup, we can expect the P30 to have something similar to this. The 40 MP sensor had an f/1.8 aperture while the 20 MP sensor had an f/1.6 aperture. The 8 MP depth sensor had 3x optical zoom. Considering that the P30 is said to have 5x zoom, we can expect a better depth sensor on the phone. Additionally, the 24 MP front facing camera and the rear camera, might both have great AI capabilities, just like the recently launched Mate 20 Pro.

While Huawei’s camera prowess is always appreciated, their phones always fall behind competition due to slower processors or hard-to-use UI’s. However, the company is now working on the issue and has already made the world’s first 7nm Android chipset, beating most of its competition. With a little more focus on its UI and some more tweaks here and there, Huawei’s upcoming phones can surely cause a stir in the smartphone market.

Apple iPhone In 2019 To Feature Triple Camera Setup With 3D Sensors

Back in early-April, there was a report about Apple incorporating a triple-camera setup on the 2019 iPhone. It appears that it wasn’t a one-off prediction as a result of boredom and this might actually happen. A new report claims that Apple will indeed use a third lens on the back of the iPhone but, for enhancing AR experience.

[amazon_link asins=’B072LPF91D’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’igyaan-21′ marketplace=’IN’ link_id=’c5e0c3e8-63f1-11e8-8cb9-6d4304f75268′]

The report falls in line with the April report by Taiwan’s Economic Daily News mentioning longer focal length, but says that the third lens would also be used to provide enhanced AR capabilities. Last year, Bloomberg reported that Apple would use a 3D sensor in at least one of the 2019 iPhones to provide more accurate 3D modelling with the rear cameras.

This, if true, would be an interesting take on a triple-camera setup. The report from last month essentially said that Apple would imitate the Huawei P20 Pro which hasn’t been Apple’s forte. The company has stuck to its guns and let other companies experiment with technology and only implement something new if the company feels it can perfect it. The iPhone X is a great example, wherein Apple introduced a nearly bezel-less design long after other brands had already done it. However, the iPhone X has been appreciated for its design, especially with the company eliminating the chin completely, something no other OEM has been able to do.

In 2013, Apple launched the iPhone 5s with Touch ID. Here again, the company was late to the fingerprint sensor party but, Touch ID, even on the iPhone 5s, was much more advanced than its competition. With Apple investing heavily in AR, it seems plausible that the company would want to take it to the next level with its flagship iPhone next year. However, whether the company will take this new route or just stick to software implementation for the time being is yet to be seen.

It’s May 2018 right now and certainly feels too early to predict what Apple will do in 2019. The 2018 iPhone lineup looks promising and we will see many more leaked about it once the WWDC 2018 concludes in early-June.

Apple iPhone To Launch Next Year With Triple Camera Setup

Huawei launched the P20 Pro on March 27th making it the first smartphone with a triple camera setup on the rear. The smartphone borrowed a couple of design cues from the iPhone X like its notch and placing the cameras vertically on the back. However, it appears that Apple might take a hint or two from Huawei for its 2019 iPhone lineup.

iPhone X

According to Taipei Times, Apple is likely to launch a new iPhone with a triple-camera setup in the second half of next year. The report cites a research note from Yuanta Securities analyst Jeff Pu that does not mention any other details about the cameras. A report from the Economic Daily News last month suggested the camera setup will have a 6P lens design with up to 5X zoom and at least one 12MP lens.

This means that the camera setup might be very similar to the one found on the Huawei P20 Pro. The third lens’ addition would mean that the user will have the ability optically zoom in up to 3X without losing any data. Optical zoom means that users can zoom in without seeing any graininess or blurriness in the image, as opposed to a digital zoom. The iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X can optically zoom up to 2X.

Huawei P20 Pro

The P20 Pro, on the other hand, already has these features and has been grabbing the headlines ever since its launch. It has a 40MP primary sensor, which supports 5x hybrid zoom. There is a secondary 8MP sensor, which offers 3x optical zoom, which also helps to create portrait mode. Similarly, there is a third sensor with 20MP resolution. Unlike the other two sensors, this is a monochrome sensor which helps to capture contrast and sharpness. Another mindboggling feature of this camera setup is a maximum ISO of 102,400.

It is still early to predict the details of the 2018 lineup, let alone the 2019 iPhone lineup. However, it will be interesting to see if Apple does go the same route as the Huawei P20 Pro or put their own spin on it.
