Samsung Galaxy S21

Around three years ago, Sirin Labs made its debut in the smartphone market with its first attempt by launching the world’s first blockchain smartphone called Finney. Moving on, the company has recently launched its second smartphone named Sirin V3.

According to the info, Sirin V3 features almost the same configuration and features like Samsung’s latest Galaxy S21 flagship but it is equipped with the highest level of security. Consumers can regard it as a rebranded Galaxy S21 that comes with a price tag of $2650.

The new Sirin V3 is said to offer top-level information security and network protection capabilities including dual identity functions, which allows users to seamlessly switch between personal mode and confidential workspace mode.

Sirin V3 incorporates two totally separated and protected zones with its Dual-Persona solution. Personal space ( on the left) for the user to install apps from Google Play Store only for his own personal usage.

At the same time, Secured space ( on the right) – a highly secured and encrypted partition. In this space, no apps can be installed except for the pre-loaded apps. It contains a military-grade anonymous encrypted call app ( end to end ).

Aside from this, consumers can also download apps in personal mode, restrict whitelist or blacklist applications, and prohibit some potentially risky behaviors, such as keyboard replacement, USB debugging, safe mode, factory reset, and download mode at startup.

It is important to mention that the military-grade security performance of the Sirin V3 smartphone is its main selling point. Besides, this device also has a multi-layer network security suite, including a behavior and machine learning-based intrusion prevention system (IPS) for real-time active network protection.

Sorry Sony, Apple iPhone set to use 48MP Samsung camera

Samsung Apple Canalys q4 2023

After OLED, Samsung is entering Apple’s CIS supply chain. Ming-Chi Kuo today revealed that Samsung could start shipping 48MP camera for Apple iPhone models as early as 2026. It’s a big blow to Apple’s conventional image supplier, Sony.

For years, Sony has dominated Apple’s iPhone camera supply chain. The entry of Samsung in the Apple iPhone 48MP camera supply is certain in early 2026. The source mentioned that Samsung had to form a dedicated team to serve Apple.

As Samsung’s supply could start in 2026, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 may still use Sony sensors. As the Korean tech giant preps for supply, Apple may have considered completing its agreement/contract with Sony for the iPhone camera.

Ming-Chi Kuo’s article reads:

  • Samsung is expected to begin shipping 1/2.6-inch 48MP ultra-wide CMOS image sensors (CIS) to Apple for iPhones as early as 2026, breaking Sony’s years-long monopoly on supplying CIS to Apple. To this end, Samsung has established a dedicated team to serve Apple.

The gap of nearly two years would result in some changes in camera supply. The iPhone maker may also opt for a multi-vendor strategy to freeze prices. Having more than a single supply chain partner empowers the manufacturer during price negotiation.

Kuo notes that Samsung will supply a 1/2.6-inch image sensor for iPhone. The product will have a 48-megapixel resolution. It will likely be used as an ultra-wide camera in future iPhones, while others will still be from Sony.

Honor Magic V3

Samsung announced its most anticipated foldable phones on July 10 in Paris. Yesterday, Honor launched the new Magic V3, which challenges the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a thinner design and some cool specs. The new Honor foldable is considerably thin compared to the phones available.

Honor’s new Magic V3 measures 9.2mm (camera bump not included) in its folded state. It goes further slimmer to 4.35mm when you unfold its 7.92-inch main screen. Oops, there’s a clearly visible hole for the camera on the inner display, with Galaxy Z Fold 6 featuring UDC for years.

The Chinese vendor managed to make its new foldable slimmer with an upgraded hinge of 2.84mm thickness. It won’t break before 500,000 folds while the frame is made from 7-series aluminum alloy. It’s the most highlighting spec that makes it superior to its Samsung counterpart.

Samsung reduced the weight of the Z Fold 6 to 239 grams but the Magic V3 weighs just 226 grams. Honor also brought IPX8 water resistance to the Magic V3, making it the first in the lineup to feature official protection against water insertion.

Honor Magic V3

Galaxy Z Fold 6 packs a 4400mAh battery, but Honor’s Magic V3 has an edge here too. It boasts a 5150mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both devices use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, offering robust performance and efficiency.

Honor Magic V3 comes with a 6.43-inch LTPO cover screen with FHD+ resolution. It’s also rated for 2,500 nits peak brightness and supports stylus input. Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 also supports S Pen input but on the inner panel only with a special pen crafted by Samsung.

In terms of optics, the Magic V3 features a 50MP primary with OIS, a 50MP Periscope with 3.5x optical zoom, and a 40MP ultrawide camera. The cover and main screens also house 20MP front-facing cameras. It lacks under-display camera technology which arrived 3rd time on a Samsung Fold.
