vivo has co-developed a custom image sensor with Sony for the vivo X100 series

vivo is working on custom silicon designs to power its next-generation of camera phones. The company just revealed that it has partnered with Sony’s Lytia division to create a customized version of the LYT800 sensor for the vivo X100 series. The LYT800 makes use of Sony’s stacked design, which separates the photodiodes and the transistors that read them into two layers (normally they are side by side). This opens up more room so the 1/1.43” Lytia LYT800 sensor is expected to have a low-light performance similar to 1” sensors. The LYT800 will have a 53MP resolution. There’s more –...

Samsung unveiled its new flagship foldables, smartwatches, and tablets this week. It happens to be the earliest unveil of a Galaxy Z Fold ever by nearly a month.

Weekly poll results: the ZTE nubia Z50S Pro wins is a potential hit

Last week’s poll shows that the ZTE nubia Z50S Pro has a lot of potential – some are holding off until they can see what this phone can do before making their mind up, but for the most part people love the new Pro. Its gaming-focused cousin, the Red Magic 8S Pro didn’t draw as much interest and that’s no surprise, it’s more of a niche phone. The nubia is an all-round powerhouse with a unique camera. It’s a bit odd then that the main criticism of the phone is about its cameras. First, some were unhappy with the downgrade on the telephoto module – it went from a 64MP 85mm camera on the...

Counterpoint: US smartphone shipments fell by 24% compared to Q2 2022

According to market research carried out by Counterpoint, the US smartphone market shrunk by a whopping 24% year-over-year in Q2 this year.

Samsung is expecting the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 to outsell their predecessors by 50%

Recently, TM Roh, the head of Samsung’s mobile division, revealed that the company sold just under 10 million foldable phones last year (60% of which were Galaxy Z Flip4s, 40% Z Fold4s).
