Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Front Camera

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone uses a 12MP front camera, it’s hard to believe, but, appears to be becoming reality as cited by TheElec. The company introduced a massive 40MP front camera with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, later followed by Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Notably, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is going to become the first Samsung smartphone to be packed with a monstrous 200MP primary camera sensor. However, it turns out that the company is cutting the costs of this flagship by downgrading other aspects.

TheElec is known as a trusted source for Samsung news, as the biggest advantage is that it’s based in South Korea, the home ground of Samsung. As the blog revealed details of all Galaxy S23 Ultra camera sensors and suppliers, it also mentioned that the “front camera will be 12MP.”

In Samsung, megapixel counts don’t matter, but, no doubt, it’s a big marketing viewpoint. One more thing, the difference between speculated and rumored camera megapixel is too high (40MP > 12MP) and it will surely affect the imaging capability of the S23 Ultra if the report is correct.

12MP or 10MP?

The report claims that the Galaxy S23 Ultra uses a front camera of 12MP resolution. At the same time, with the suppliers’ information, it is mentioned that Namuga and Powerlogics are suppliers for the 10MP front camera. There are two different front camera res mentioned in the same report, which also ends up with confusion.

Quick Flashback: The Galaxy S10+ uses a dual front camera of 10MP and 8MP, S20 Ultra uses a 40MP 1/2.65-inch Quad-Bayer sensor, S21 Ultra uses a primary 40MP sensor with 0.7µm pixels and the S22 Ultra uses 40MP 1/2.82″ sensor.

What do you think about it, will Samsung introduce the Galaxy S23 Ultra with a 12MP or 10MP front camera? Let us know through social media.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US model packs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.

Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.

The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.

The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.

This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.

Samsung’s new 5G modem fuels satellite connectivity in Google Pixel 9 series

Pixel 9 samsung modem

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.

According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability

The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.

Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.

One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,

  • What happened?
  • [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
  • In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
  • What best describes your situation?
  • What is on fire?
  • Are there weapons involved?

Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
