Xiaomi put a huge camera sensor in its new Mi 12S Ultra flagship smartphone - The Verge Posted: 04 Jul 2022 08:33 AM PDT Xiaomi is introducing a trio of new smartphones today, and one of them comes with a pretty huge new feature: a 1-inch camera sensor, which is relatively giant for a smartphone. Everything about Xiaomi's new flagship smartphone, the Mi 12S Ultra, is big. It has a 6.73-inch OLED display, a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 system on a chip, and a camera-lens shaped bulge on that back that takes up about a third of the phone's rear side. Inside that faux-lens are the phone's three cameras: a 48 megapixel ultrawide, a 48 megapixel telephoto with 5x optical zoom (and "120x" digital zoom that will probably not look very good), and finally, the 50 megapixel main camera, which uses that 1-inch sensor. A few different companies have put 1-inch sensors in their phones before, but it hasn't been very common — you're more likely to find 1-inch sensors in higher-end point-and-shoots like Sony's RX100 series. The larger size allows the sensor to gather more light and capture more detailed images. It won't turn a phone into a DSLR, but it could be a step up from the typical smartphone camera; the iPhone 13 Pro, for instance, has a sensor size of 1/1.65-inch, according to DPReview. (Though for reference, the actual size of a sensor's imaging area is smaller than its stated measurement lets on.) Xiaomi says the phone's camera system was "co-engineered with Leica," and the company told Engadget that it split the cost of developing the 1-inch image sensor with Sony. Sony actually released a phone using a 1-inch sensor late last year, however it only captured on part of the sensor, whereas Xiaomi's phone will reportedly use the whole thing. Camera aside, the Mi 12S Ultra otherwise has the typical hallmarks of a flagship phone. It has IP68 water and dust resistance, a large 4,860 mAh battery, 67W wired fast charging, and a 120Hz refresh rate display. The phone is also supposed to be the first Android device capable of shooting in Dolby Vision HDR. The 12S Ultra will launch first in China. A model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will sell for RMB 5,999 (around $900 USD), while a high-end version with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage will go for RMB 6,999 (around $1,050 USD). In addition to the 12S Ultra, Xiaomi is also introducing two lower-end models: the 12S and 12S Pro. Those two phones have a main camera sensor with a 1/1.28-inch size, which is smaller than the Ultra but still bigger than the typical smartphone sensor. The 12S has a smaller 6.28-inch 120Hz display, while the 12S Pro has a 6.73-inch 120Hz OLED display, like the Ultra. Both get the same Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip. Pricing for the 12S starts at RMB 3,999 ($600 USD) and pricing for the 12S Pro starts at RMB 4,699 ($700 USD). |
Leaked OneDrive client reveals Windows 11-like redesign - Neowin Posted: 03 Jul 2022 01:26 PM PDT Microsoft is working on a new OneDrive client for Windows 11. A preview build of the app has leaked, revealing Windows 11-like redesign for the Settings section that has not received major revamps in many years. Besides the new controls, new navigation, and overhauled visuals, the leaked app does not offer any new features. It lets you personalize sync settings, change notification options, add another account, see your storage quota, etc. Microsoft has not announced the new app yet, so the public preview version might look different compared to the leaked. You can try installing it at your own risk using this link (via @flobo09). It is also worth noting that running the leaked version does not guarantee you will get the new design. We tried installing the app on several machines (Dev and Stable channels), with none receiving the eye candy. In case you missed it, Microsoft recently announced stories coming soon to OneDrive, offering users a new way to share their photos. What do you think about the redesigned OneDrive app for Windows?

Report: Apple Watch Series 8 to feature bigger display - 9to5Mac Posted: 04 Jul 2022 06:51 AM PDT Apple Watch Series 8 rumors are on fire. In a couple of months, Apple will likely unveil three new Apple Watches – the most important upgrade in years, analysts say. With that in mind, the latest predictions show the Apple Watch Series 8 will likely feature a bigger 1.99-inch display. According to analyst Ross Young, the 45mm won't be the larger model available as Apple plans to announce a bigger version, with around 50 mm – or 1.99-inch diagonally. This isn't the first time the analyst said the new lineup could come in three display sizes. As of now, it's unclear whether Apple will offer 41mm, 45mm, and 50mm versions or whether it has something to do with the new extreme sports version rumored to be announced a few months from now. According to MacRumors, analyst Jeff Pu also corroborated this report by saying Apple supplier Luxshare will be the "sole supplier" for a "high-end" 2-inch Apple Watch model. Yesterday, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported both Apple Watch Series 8 and a new rugged edition will feature body-temperature detection. The Apple Watch SE 2, on the other hand, is unlikely to receive this function.
In the newsletter, Bloomberg's journalist said that other hardware changes will "probably" be minor. As reported last week, the Apple Watch Series 8 is rumored to feature the same S6 chip available on the Apple Watch Series 6, making this the first Apple Watch to have the same processor for the third year in a row. Last but not least, Gurman heard internal chatter about updated displays in the new high-end models, which he hopes they get even brighter. Now, this could mean a larger display. Are you excited about the new Apple Watch Series 8? Do you think a redesign could be announced this year? Share your thoughts in the comment section below. |
