Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phONE

Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phone




A month ago, I wrote about the iPhone's camera and how instrumental it is to many of the things that make that bestselling device so appealing. Today, Apple's most direct competitor, Samsung, has reiterated its long history of developing cameraphones and promised to deliver nothing less than "the future of cameras." In a post by Samsung's camera R&D chief DongHoon Jang, the company promises its 2015 flagship phone "will be intelligent and do all the thinking for users, allowing them to take amazing pictures under any conditions, without having to worry about anything more than just pressing the shutter button."
Imaging technology has been a traditional strength for Samsung's flagship smartphones, and the latest Galaxy Note 4 has marked an appreciable upgrade after a couple of years of relative stagnation in image quality. Now Samsung seems intent to step things up another notch, with the blog post also discussing the rising importance of the front-facing camera for taking selfies. Much of this sounds like what LG is already doing with the G3 and G Flex 2: both feature an interface-free camera mode where just tapping on the screen focuses and takes the picture. Samsung's promising a similar level of automated simplicity, while also hinting at an increase in its camera resolution by pointing to the progressive increase in megapixels in its Galaxy S line.

It's a little disheartening to see Samsung define its camera progress by the number of megapixels in each year's model. The thing that makes the iPhone so popular is its ease and quickness of use, which Samsung is evidently looking to address, though perhaps not to an extent where that might compromise its usual push to be a spec leader as well. On the other hand, it's good see Samsung putting an emphasis on the camera as a leading feature in a device that's expected to have an all-new metal design and three-sided screen. The sixth-generation Galaxy S is set to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress on March 1st, which is when we'll find out exactly how many mega pixels it has and what sort of images they can capture.

Huawei P30 release date

The Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro are set to be the next flagship smartphones from the Chinese brand, which has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro rivaled the likes of the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, Pixel 3 XL and new iPhones, and the P30 duo (or potentially trio) will certainly have the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus in their sights. We say potentially trio, as Apple launched three new phones back in September, and Samsung did the same in February, so we wouldn't be surprised if Huawei followed suit with a new trio of its own under the P30 name. Huawei has even teased the arrival of the handsets, with a video posted on Twitter confirming the March 26 launch date for the "P30 series" - suggesting we'll definitely see more than one phone with the P30 name attached to it.

Samsung Note 5 Review

The Galaxy Note 5 is a big-screen dream machine for those looking to do more with their phones. It packs a powerful octa-core Exynos processor and a long-lasting battery, but what sets this phablet apart is its enhanced S Pen, which lets you take notes even when the display is off. Starting at a somewhat steep $700 for the 32GB version (or $29.99 a month), the Note 5 also sports the same elegant, glass-and-metal styling as the even more premium S6 Edge Plus, but without the dual curved screen. Yes, the Note 5 loses the microSD card slot and replaceable battery found on the Note 4, but overall this phone is the king of productivity. Design: Better, but baby don't have a  (#removable) back NOTE 5 IS REAL The Note 5 looks more elegant than its predecessor. Samsung retired the notepad aesthetic, ditching the Note 4's faux-leather removable back in favor of a sealed glass enclosure. The rounded glass edges provided a surprisingly sturdy grip, while the alum...
