Established way back in February 2011, WIKO is a French smartphone company with its head office in Marseille, France. Unlike Samsung, Apple and Xiaomi, WIKO is not a prominent phone maker, but it could gain market in China as an exclusive Huawei alternative with 5G network and HarmonyOS.

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra smartphone debuted with 108MP ISOCELL HM1 camera, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra utilizes the HM3 variant with same resolution. For non-Galaxy devices, Samsung’s ISOCELL division produced the HM2 version with 108 megapixel resolution.
Samsung 200MP beast is on its way
In February, Samsung will introduce the Galaxy S23 series of flagship smartphones. The upcoming smartphone lineup will set an example in mobile photography with the Ultra variant equipped with cutting-edge 200MP camera sensor developed by Samsung.
We’ve seen the leaked camera shots, which look promising with significant upgrades in color details and accuracy. For the S23 Ultra, the Korean tech giant is reportedly working on the production of ISOCELL HP2 sensor that packs additional goodness for Samsung Elec.
At SID 2023, Samsung unveiled next-gen display technologies and showcased them through device prototypes. I like Rollable Flex the most, while the Flex In and Out and Sensor OLED Display panels are stunningly wonderful. Check the next-gen Samsung Display prototypes below:
Rollable Flex
Rollable Flex expands more than five times, from 49 mm to 254.4 mm in length. While conventional foldable or slidable form factors offer up to three times the scalability, Rollable Flex overcomes such limitations by enabling the display to be rolled and unrolled on an O-shaped axis like a scroll.
Flex In & Out
This new foldable phone concept can be folded both inward and outward 360 degrees.
The ‘in-folding’ form factor, which can only be folded inward, requires a separate external panel to view information while folded, but the Flex In & Out is able to overcome that, opening up the possibility of lighter and thinner foldable phones.
Sensor OLED Display
Samsung Display unveiled a new Sensor OLED Display that can recognize fingerprints anywhere on the screen and even check cardiovascular health at SID Display Week 2023. It can measure the user’s heart rate, blood pressure and stress level simply with the touch of two fingers.
