In an interesting turn of events, Samsung has released a new software update for the Galaxy Note 8 and brought over two unique camera features from the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy Note 9. One of them is AR Emoji and the other is super slow-mo videos, although it's called Super Slow-motion on the Note […]
Update: As per our suspicions, the leaked spec sheet contained a typo and the Galaxy Note 20 does not have a ToF 3D sensor. In fact, according to the same source, neither the Galaxy Note 20 nor the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will have a ToF sensor, but the latter model will apparently take advantage […]
Preliminary reports hint at the Galaxy S11 series adopting a 108-megapixel main camera, namely the ISOCELL Bright HMX which was developed in collaboration with Xiaomi. However, the Galaxy S11+ (at least) could sport an ‘exclusive custom' 108MP sensor that has a higher production cost. Presumably, this would be a spin-off of the existing 108MP solution, […]
The Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) are Samsung's first smartphones with dual front cameras, which, as we noted in our review, impressed us with their performance. On the back, the 16-megapixel sensor has carried over with the same megapixel count from the A5 (2017) and A7 (2017), but now has a larger aperture […]
For a long time now, Samsung has been at the top of its game when it comes to smartphone cameras. The Galaxy S7 had the best overall phone camera on the market for quite a long time, and with the Galaxy S8, Samsung has made minor changes to further improve the quality of images captured […]
Every retailer and carrier has special deals on mobile devices going on during Black Friday, but what exactly is Samsung itself offering on this holiday weekend? Well, sadly, the Korean firm doesn't have any deals on its phones, but you can get the rather costly Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition for $50 less than the […]
We knew the Galaxy S4 Zoom was headed for an AT&T launch, and today the carrier has officially announced that it will be carrying Samsung's camera-cum-phone, with availability set to begin from November 8th. The price has been set at $199 on a two-year contract, or $25 a month on AT&T's Next program; you'll also […]
Samsung will soon release its first smartphone with a quintuple-camera setup, i.e. one carrying five separate cameras on the back. That honor won't go to one of its flagships but a decisively mid-range offering in the form of the Galaxy A72, a sequel to this year's Galaxy A71 which originally hit the market back in January. […]
Samsung unveiled its new Gear 360 (2017) VR camera alongside the Galaxy S8 back in March this year. It's capable of shooting true 4K video in 360-degrees. The camera's predecessor could only shoot 360-degree video in “near-4K.” The Gear 360 (2017) became available for purchase just a few months ago. It's now being offered as […]
Smartphone cameras have come a long way over the years. Whether it's daylight photography or capturing moments in the night, phone cameras are pretty capable these days. It's also common for smartphones to feature primary cameras with high megapixel counts, with current Samsung Galaxy phones featuring cameras with anywhere between 48 megapixels to a whopping […]
Welcome to a new entry in our weekly series, where we explore Samsung apps and services in detail. If you missed yesterday's article, we're dedicating this week to the Samsung Camera app. And today, we're talking about the watermark feature. Samsung added the option to pre-set a watermark for photos captured with the Camera app […]
Mobile photography has been a staple of the mobile phone experience ever since smartphones became a reality and shook the market. Smartphones have more or less replaced traditional point-and-shoot cameras, and mobile manufacturers are continuing to improve their camera hardware and software every year. In 2023, Samsung's Camera app suite consists of more than one […]
In theory, the Galaxy Z Flip 5's camera configuration is nothing to write home about. However, in practice, the foldable flip phone punches way above its weight class thanks to Samsung's balanced use of hardware, clever AI, and fantastic image processing. The main thing holding it back is the lack of a zoom camera. Independent […]
Samsung's Expert RAW app is an excellent alternative camera app for those who own a supported Galaxy smartphone (which includes most of the company's flagships launched in the last four years) and want more control over the process of capturing photos. Expert RAW, as the name suggests, saves images in both JPG and RAW format. […]
Lately, Samsung's changelogs for firmware and app updates have been hit-and-miss. Some prevalent issues are that changelogs for device updates don't always go into detail, and app updates often borrow old changelogs for new releases. Thankfully, Samsung seems to be at least somewhat aware of its shortcomings in this area. And at least as far […]
