Xiaomi officially confirmed that the company is going to unveil Redmi Note 12 series on October 27, 2022. And the official announced that the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ would use Samsung “HX” flagship rear camera sensor.
It means that ahead of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, you will surely get the review of this camera sensor from other smartphones.
Samsung ISOCELL HPX 200MP Camera
Samsung’s new ISOCELL HPX 200MP camera sensor can maintain 12.5MP sharpness even when enlarged to four times the size of the original image. However, the new 200MP ISOCELL HPX continues the Korean tech giant’s smallest 0.56μm pixel.
Furthermore, the 0.56μm pixel size can reduce the area of the camera module by up to 20%, making the smartphone body thinner and smaller to keep the flagship’s design.
The Samsung Isocell HPX can automatically switch to 3 lighting modes using Tetra²pixel (sixteen pixels in one) technology. It provides users with different video shooting options as part of allowing users to shoot 8K video at 30fps and supports seamless dual HDR (High Dynamic Range) in 4K and FHD (Full HD) modes.
Honor will introduce the Magic Vs clamshell foldable smartphone at the Mobile World Congress 2023. Ahead of the event, Honor posted an ad taking a jibe at Samsung for its Galaxy Z Fold/Flip foldable smartphones launched between 2019 to 2022.
Since Honor ad has been posted to criticize Samsung, it shows that the Chinese brand admits Galaxy Z Fold and Flip line is far ahead of its first foldable (clamshell) product. In the ad, Honor showcased that its upcoming flip phone has no gap around the crease area, which can be easily seen in Samsung’s foldables.

In its recent Twitter post, Honor targeted the gap seen in the Galaxy Z Flip foldable smartphones in the folded state. So far, Samsung used a U-type hinge design, which results in a gap at the mid-spot (the area where the display folds/hinge).
The Chinese company featured four Galaxy foldable smartphones including the Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Flip released in 2019 to 2022. The motive of Honor is to criticize Samsung and show itself as a great brand, but, it’s not happening at all!

Honor is exposed! The company ad is revealing that it has deeply studied what Samsung did in the evolution of the Galaxy Z Flip foldable smartphones. The latest Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a great-selling device in the global market, which is praised for its stylish design and durability.
The South Korean tech giant would introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphones at the August Unpacked 2023. Ahead of this, seasonal moths are trying their luck outside the boundaries of mainland China, it’s not the case, customers know where to trust.
Just a thing, Samsung’s foldable phones launched in and after 2021 are capable of surviving against water, thanks to the IPX8 rating. Leaving copyable apart, water resistance and durability features can’t be copied easily, so boy (of course Honor) get ready to witness the Galaxy Z Flip 5 this August.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra are two of Samsung’s top-end flagship devices. The company launched both flagships in 2020, featuring pro-grade hardware capabilities. Meanwhile, there’s bad news for consumers of Galaxy S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra, about Jio True 5G support in India.
According to our research, the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G smartphones don’t support Jio True 5G network in India. Jio deploying a 5G network with Stand Alone architecture in India to offer powerful features like low latency, 5G voice, Edge computing, and network slicing.

Stand Alone 5G is a software-centric approach, which requires smartphone vendors to release a special firmware update for the device to unlock the 5G network support. Meanwhile, vendors are somewhat cheating here with older models taking advantage of the “hardware limitation” phrase.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphones are equipped with Samsung’s own made Exynos 990 (7nm) processor. Both of these devices are sold as 5G capable phones in the country, but now, consumers have to switch their carrier to Airtel or forget about 5G.
Jio confirmed to SammyFans that the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is not listed to feature True 5G support in India. The OEM can not release 5G-supported firmware updates due to application processor limitations.
By the way, it doesn’t mean your device won’t run the 5G network at all. You can switch to another carrier (such as Airtel), which is featuring non-standalone architecture. It doesn’t require any software update or support from the smartphone manufacturer but might lag behind Jio’s True 5G in some cases.
Galaxy S20 FE supports Jio True 5G, here’s why
Samsung released the Galaxy S20 FE 4G with the same Exynos processor as the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series in India. Later on, the company brought a 5G-supported Galaxy S20 FE, which uses Snapdragon 865 processor. Jio True 5G is supported on this device and users can enjoy the benefits post-SA update.
