A leaked image (again from Ice Universe) shows what could be a screen protector for a Samsung smartphone with a corner camera cutout, presumably the Galaxy A8s. Samsung has confirmed that it's indeed working on such a display, which it calls the "Infinity-O," and Huawei told The Verge that the teaser image above is genuine -- so both of these leaks have essentially been confirmed. It may be the world's first hole in the screen smartphone: Galaxy A8s pic.twitter.com/dBQfgUXed2 — Ice universe (@UniverseIce) November 24, 2018Visually, there's no doubt that this minimal approach to a front-facing smartphone is, er, infinitely better than a notch. At the same time, it eliminates the possibility of dual cameras, front depth sensors and other fancy imaging doodads. We could see "hole-screen" cutouts as early as December, but in the meantime, let us know your thoughts.
Patent images for Asus smartphone show pop-up camera and camera hole
Asus could be working on some interesting smartphone designs, according to patents filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) that have been unearthed by LetsGoDigital. Some of the images show a device with a pop-up camera in three different sizes. Other images contained in the design patents feature a smartphone with a camera hole in the display. Some of the more intriguing images show three smartphones from a diagonal viewpoint demonstrating how a pop-up camera could be integrated. Three further drawings focus on the possible size of the pop-up camera: small size in the center, medium size occupying around a third of the device's width, and a long pop-up camera taking up the majority of the top edge.
Samsung caught (again) using DSLR photo to advertise smartphone camera
referring to Djudjic suspects that Samsung licensed the picture from her through the photo site EyeEm, so payment isn't necessarily a problem. But Djudjic does say that the photo wasn't taken with an A8 Star. Djudjic's photo was also edited for use on the A8 Star page. If the A8 Star doesn't take good enough pictures to advertise, maybe Samsung just shouldn't bother. Update December 5th, 10:55AM ET: Since attention was drawn to the page, Samsung has updated it with a small note saying the image is "simulated for demo purpose."Samsung may introduce a revolutionary night mode for smartphone camera
According to XDA Developers, Samsung has been working on a new low-light camera mode called Bright Night that may make an appearance in the upcoming S10 lineup. OnePlus brought Nightscape mode to their newest flagship, the Google Pixel 3's Night Sight mode can make low-light shots look like they've been taken in the daytime, and now Samsung, too, has put a revolutionary night camera mode on the docket. Better late than never. Like other leading phone manufacturers, Bright Night mode will allegedly work by taking several pictures for one shot and combining them into one brighter, clearer, correctly-exposed image without relying on an LED flash — at least according to the code for the latest version of Android Pie for the Galaxy Note 9. The first S10 is expected to arrive in February 2019, possibly at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona.
