Samsung’s latest 50MP GN2 camera sensor will debut with Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra next week
Last month, Samsung introduced its second-generation 50MP ISOCELL GN2 image sensor with large 1.4-micrometer (μm)-sized pixels. This new camera sensor offers up to 100-megapixel imaging, powerful staggered HDR, improved auto-focusing through Dual Pixel Pro technology, and vivid results through Smart ISO Pro.
According to the latest information, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra will become the world’s first smartphone equipped with Samsung ISOCELL GN2 CMOS, with a 1/1.12″ inch ultra-outsole. Moreover, the Chinese phone maker said that each pixel of 50MP reaches 1.4μm, which is an unprecedented 2.8μm after fusion.
However, Xiaomi will hold its next launch conference on March 29 where it will unveil its new Mi 11 series flagships including the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra. Ahead of the event, the company officially explained the imaging system of the Mi 11 Ultra with “revisiting the boundary of the dark night” which suggests, it should have an impressive night imaging effect.
In terms of camera capabilities, Mi 11 Ultra equips a triple rear camera setup including a combination of dual main cameras + periscope lens. Just for remind, it will be the first handset to debut with the world’s largest Samsung ISOCELL GN2 image sensor and support up to 120x zoom shooting.

Samsung SmartThings is collaborating with YouTube Music. The latest collaboration reiterates that the company continues to elevate the SmartThings experiences further.
Following the partnership with YouTube Music, Samsung SmartThings can tailor the Music Sync experience more effectively to users’ needs regardless of the setting or time of day.

Samsung News app is getting upgraded with the arrival of a popular trivia game, The Six. As part of growing the Samsung News platform, the company is bringing a fun upgrade that will elevate your feed to a whole new level.
The Six is now available to play on the Samsung News app in North America and Canada. The company is raising this new format by expanding its interactive gaming experience from Smart TVs directly to Galaxy devices.

LIVE DEMO: Samsung, Google and Qualcomm’s Apple Vision Pro Killer Is Here
Samsung yesterday unveiled Project Moohan (Galaxy XR headset). Google also introduced the Android XR crafted for next-gen XR devices. We now have an official live demo of Android XR featuring the Samsung Galaxy XR headset.
The official live demo video of Android XR and Samsung Project Moohan (Galaxy XR headset) has been recently posted by an X user and former Google Product Manager named Bilawal Sidhu (via AndroidAuthority).
It showcases two Google representatives demoing an Android XR headset and its capabilities. Samsung will launch the XR device next year, and it’s unclear whether the product used for the demo is a prototype or a final version.
Samsung is set to usher in a new era of spatial computing segment. The first device could be a headset rather than the rumored glasses. It will be a direct competitor to Apple’s Vision Pro, which was released earlier this year.
The headset has an indicator on the interface that shows when Gemini is active in a multimodal conversational experience. The demonstrator also scrolled a webpage with hands, the same experience as a trackpad or a touchscreen.
Android XR features “spatial windows” that allow users to move and resize them in their field of view using hand gestures. Google TV experience also showcased that lets users scroll through titles that appear floating above the real world.
Samsung’s headset could prefer Gemini over Google Assistant, given the demonstrator heard using the “Hey Gemini” hotword. Users will also be able to watch spatial VR videos and take advantage of newly built immersive map experiences.
Samsung and Google announced to further elevate the XR experience. The headset could be introduced in the latter half of the next year. The launch is far while you can enjoy a sneak peek at what’s coming to shelves next year.
First ever live demo of Samsung’s mixed reality headset running Android XR!
Gemini AI built right in, the Google apps you know and love with a very intuitive UX.
Also cool to see Google maps immersive view playing a key role which I cofounded & led product for while at Google! pic.twitter.com/kUHclfxGge
