Apple to keep the periscope telephoto camera exclusive to the iPhone Pro models next year

Apple unveiled the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max in September, with only the Pro versions featuring periscope telephoto cameras. And if you were expecting next year's non-Pro iPhone 17 models to sport periscope units, that's not happening. The word comes from South Korean publication The Elec, which claims the periscope telephoto camera will remain exclusive to the Pro models in next year's lineup, even though LG Innotek - that makes iPhone camera modules - is investing in new facilities, possibly for the upgraded iPhone 17 series camera...

More affordable Snapdragon X chip coming to Windows devices

During Investor Day, Qualcomm teased an upcoming Snapdragon X chipset aimed at affordable Windows-powered devices priced around $600. The name isn't final, but we suspect it will just be Snapdragon X. Right now, the company is offering the Snapdragon X Elite with 12-core CPU configurations and the Snapdragon X Plus with 8- or 10-core CPUs. Thus, the vanilla Snapdragon X will likely adopt a 6-core CPU, although Qualcomm has yet to confirm this. The company teased that its powerful NPU chip, used in the rest of the Snapdragon X SoCs, will also be employed in the cheaper Snapdragon X....

ChatGPT could take central role in Samsung's Galaxy AI on phones

According to a report by The Information, Samsung and OpenAI are in talks to form a partnership and potentially integrate ChatGPT into Samsung's Galaxy AI services. As of now, Samsung uses its own LLM and Google's Gemini AI to power its Galaxy AI features. It will be interesting to see how ChatGPT fits in all of this. For instance, Apple leverages OpenAI's ChatGPT for its own Apple Intelligence, but only when the on-device models aren't sufficient for the task at hand. That's when the system asks ChatGPT for help. We could see a similar implementation in Galaxy AI or use...

Samsung ISOCELL's All Lenses on Prism (ALoP) is a new and better periscope design

Samsung's imaging team has come up with a new design for a folded telephoto camera module that would allow for a brighter lens (f/2.58 at 80mm) and a thinner overall footprint. Called ALoP (All Lenses on Prism), it essentially moves the lens array on top of the periscope prism, instead of in between the prism and the imaging sensor, as it is in a conventional folded design. This is because in a typical folded telephoto module design, increasing the pupil diameter of the lens (making it wider and brighter) would increase the module's height. With ALoP technology, you can have a wider...

The global variant of the Xiaomi 15, “24129PN74G”, was spotted in the Geekbench database, specifically the AI test section. The results are all over the place, so it’s too early to compare its Snapdragon 8 Elite versus the 8 Gen 3 of the Xiaomi 14. Plus, these tests were run only on the CPU rather than...
