Samsung Teases Galaxy S6 Camera As Reports Of Two All-Metal Models Emerge

// , , , , , , , , , , , 0
Samsung's next lead gadget will be uncovered in simply a couple of short weeks in front of the current year's Versatile World Congress, and the leader of the organization's cam division is now teasing us about its photograph abilities. In an authority blog entry, Samsung SVP DongHoon Jang gave a study of the organization's cell phone cam advance through the years, complete with an outline separating things regarding megapixel rely on both front and back cams from the Universe S, to a year ago's Cosmic system S5. 



Jang spoke a great deal about a percentage of the particular advances made to cell phone cams lately, including specialized traps like High Dynamic Extent (HDR) and stage location auto center. Because of these and different gimmicks, the World S5 has earned a notoriety for being among the best back cams presently accessible on a cell phone, as per Jang. 

In a segment implying at what's to come, Jang highlighted the late work Samsung has done to enhance the front-confronting cam on their gadgets, including the 5 megapixel shooter on Universe A7, A5 and A3 gadgets. That is likely an evidence that the up and coming leader World S6 (or whatever Samsung decides to call it) will have at any rate a 5 megapixel sensor in advance, if not something considerably more-enhanced to serve our developing vanity. 

Jang additionally notes that every new era of cam experiences more than 10,000 photograph catches of testing, in a wide range of lighting, and this is connected to how they're contemplating the up and coming era of versatile cams for their gadgets. He says the cams on the current year's leader will be "shrewd and do all the reasoning for clients, permitting them to take astounding pictures under any conditions" with simply a basic shade press. 

Samsung concentrating on a blockhead verification photograph experience implies they've gained from the best – the iPhone has long been the best cell phone cam available in that it takes the best conceivable photographs with simply a straightforward tap, and of late it doesn't even need a client to tap to concentrate, however it offers extra advanced gimmicks ought to individuals need those. Apple's virtuoso was in verifying that regardless of how hurriedly or gracelessly a client jabs that shade catch, they'll get something usable that in any event catches the minute, and it seems like Samsung acknowledges exactly how critical a segment that is in the general cell phone experience. 

Then, Bloomberg says that Samsung is arranging two adaptations of the up and coming leader, both of which will have all-metal bodies in a first for Samsung's debut offering, and one of which will have a wraparound screen. Both will offer 5.1-inch shows, the report claims. The adaptation with the wraparound will have a show that overflow both right and left edges, dissimilar to the single-sided World Note 4 Edge Samsung presented a year ago. 

In the event that genuine, this sounds like great method for Samsung. The organization has long remain faithful to its plastic stylish, yet the business has changed such that the distinction between a mid-extent and a premium gadget is truly narrowing. By patching up outline with premium materials, Samsung can reinvigorate a brand that has turned into a bit stale – and the wraparound screen offers a touch of specialized peacocking, regardless of the possibility that that winds up being an adaptation just a little fragment of the populace selects to really buy.

Sony i1 Honami Confirms 20-Megapixel Camera Newly Leaked Photos

// , , , , , , , , , , 0

ewly leaked images of Sony’s oft-rumored i1 Honami smartphone reveals the handset’s design in detail, including the dedicated “G” branding for the optics system, an f/2.3 aperture, and confirms the 20.7-megapixel camera sensor making it an imaging powerhouse as Sony looks to compete in the camera phone space against the Lumia 1020from Nokia and Samsung’s Galaxy S4 Zoom.

Images of the Honami were initially published on Esato and re-posted on Phone Arena.

The Honami smartphone is expected to get itsformal debut next month at Berlin’s IFA show. The device is expected to be a premium device that will succeed the current Sony Xperia Z smartphone, a waterproof phone with a slim and elegant design that features a 13-megapixel backside illuminated (BSI) Exmor RS camera sensor from Sony.



The G branding likely refers to the lens system inside the camera of the i1 Honami. Sony uses its G branding for professional grade lenses on its Sony Alpha range of DSLR cameras, though the company also makes Zeiss-branded lenses as well for the range. On smartphones, thus far, Zeiss lenses have primarily been limited to Nokia.



The phone appears to feature a charging connector that may be magnetic. This would allow the phone to be used elegantly in a dark or even a car mount.



In addition to packing more megapixels, the Honami had been rumored in the past to feature a point-and-shoot sized sensor as well. That would give the sensor more surface area for light to hit and the area of the sensor would be larger than that on a smartphone, but would be smaller than on some premium point-and-shoot cameras, like the recently reviewed Sony RX100 MK II.



What’s interesting about the Honami is that it’s rumored to come with a lens attachment that would work with the phone, though you wouldn’t need the lens attachments if you just want to use the Honami’s non-zoom built-in 20-megapixel camera. Sony is rumored to be introducing a zoom lens as well as a premium lens and sensor, like the one on the RX100 MK II, as optional accessories to complement the mobile photographer who uses the Honami.




Rumored lens attachment brings interchangeable lenses to the Sony Honami. Each lens would essentially be self-contained with its own wireless, optical system, camera sensor, and memory card. Images are previewed and transferred to the Honami or another smartphone over an NFC and WiFi link.



With the interchangeable lens camera (ILC) attachment, the Honami essentially becomes the DSLR viewfinder for the lenses and would pair with the lens over WiFi and NFC. The lens themselves are self-contained so they don’t have to screw on or be mounted to the camera on the phone itself. The lens will contain its own camera sensor, optical system, micro SD card for storage, and wireless capabilities.

Crazy Galaxy S4 Zoom combines phone with proper camera lens (pictures)

// , , , , , , , , , , , , 0
LONDON -- The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is arguably more camera than phone. It takes the body and smartphone features of the S4 and marries it with a larger sensor and 10x optical zoom, turning what was already a superb camera phone into more of a phone-camera.















There are compromises, though: its 4.3-inch, 960x540-pixel display and 1.5GHz dual-core processor are much less impressive specs than the standard Galaxy S4. Here's hoping the camera tech it's wielding more than makes up for it.

Samsung hasn't given any word on pricing or availability as yet, but check back for more news as it happens.

Design
Here's an interesting philosophical conundrum: which is the front and which is the back? The front of a camera is where the lens is, but the front of a phone is the screen. It's definitely half and half, but as the S4 Zoom is named after a phone, and you can make calls with it, I'm going to refer to it as a phone, so the screen is the front. (The Galaxy Camera would be the other way round, of course.)

From the back, then, the S4 Zoom looks like any regular compact digital camera. There's really nothing there that indicates that a phone lurks within. A chunky hand grip is off to one side, and the enormous lens barrel sits on the other.

Look at the Zoom from the front, though, and it looks just like you're holding a standard Galaxy S4. There's the same chrome-effect edging, and the same physical Home button on the bottom. Of course, once you wrap your hand around it, the illusion of it being a true S4 is quickly shattered.

Given its camera hardware, it's not surprising that the Zoom is a much chunkier beast than the phone. Even by compact digital camera standards, it's somewhat bulky. It will slide into a pocket -- just -- making it considerably more portable than any dSLR or compact system camera. Even so, you'll have a more difficult time pocketing it than the credit-card-size snappers around.

If you're a truly dedicated shutterbug who never leaves home without a camera slung around your neck, this is probably a practical solution. For the majority of you, though, the increased bulk will likely make it too unwieldy an option for everyday use.


The Zoom as a camera
The S4 Zoom is the only phone -- and it is stretching the definition -- that packs in an optical, as well as a digital zoom. The focal length starts at 24mm, which is quite a wide angle -- allowing you to capture more of a scene in one picture. It zooms to 10x, which should be more than enough magnification to get a lovely shot of that sleeping lion, without needing to get close enough for it to bite your arm clean off.

The zoom is controlled by a ring around the barrel, which can also be set to control different functions or bring up menus. Twist it during a phone call and it'll allow you to snap a shot and instantly send it to whoever you're speaking to via MMS.


Behind the epic zoom barrel is a 16-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor. It's physically bigger than the sensors you'll find inside regular smartphones -- the S4 included -- although not as big as the ones you'll get inside an average dSLR. A bigger sensor means that more light can hit it, which should greatly improve image quality. We'll be putting its skills to the test in the full review soon.

Samsung has bundled in 25 different scene modes to choose from, including "HDR," "panorama," and "night." You can have the phone suggest the best mode for the scene or simply leave it in auto mode for a hassle-free experience.

The screen is a 4.3-inch affair with a disappointing 960x540-pixel resolution. That's a big step down from the full HD display found on the S4 and particularly irritating given the phone's imaging focus, where more pixels will help show off a clearer image. Still, it at least seemed fairly bright and bold in my hands-on time.

The Zoom as a phone
Stuffed inside the body is 1.5GHz dual-core processor -- again, a disappointing downgrade from the monstrous quad-core brute (octo-core in some places) in the true S4. Editing such high-resolution photos and videos would undoubtedly be made a whole lot smoother with a faster chip so I'm not happy to see a lesser chip in place. Again, we'll see how it performs in the review.

It's running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the most recent version of Google's mobile operating system. The interface has been tweaked slightly to make it easier to access camera functions -- similar to the layout you'll see on the Galaxy Camera -- but otherwise things are much the same.

There's 8GB of internal storage as standard, of which 5GB is available for use. That's not going to last long once you start snapping away at full resolution, so you'll need to make use of the microSD card slot. The battery is a fairly capacious 2,330mAh affair, which can be removed via a slot on the side.

Outlook
With its bigger sensor, higher resolution, and 10x optical zoom, the Galaxy S4 Zoom may well be the dedicated shutterbug's phone of choice. It certainly sets a bar for Nokia's rumored EOS camera phone to clear. But its significantly increased size over the standard Galaxy S4, together with its pared-down phone specs, means that it's not likely to find its way into everyone's pockets.
