Smartphone with “impossible surface”. Oppo Find X3 Coming In March
Yesterday, high-quality renders of the new Oppo Find X3 Pro smartphone appeared on the Web, which looks rather unusual. The designers smoothly connected the back of the smartphone with the protruding camera unit, giving the device a unique look.
Then the company Oppo published on its page in the social network Weibo a statement that the smartphone “impossible surface” will be presented in March this year. Attached to this post are the aforementioned renders of the Oppo Find X3 Pro.
According to previous leaks, the smartphone will receive a Snapdragon 888 SoC, a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Oppo Find X3 Pro will receive a rechargeable battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh, which supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging and 30W VOOC Air wireless charging.
The highlight of the smartphone will be the quad camera, which will include two 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensors with conventional and ultra-wide-angle lenses. The 13-megapixel camera will provide 2x optical zoom. There will also be a 3MP macro camera that will provide 25x zoom. Oppo Find X3 Pro will receive an OFILM lens, which will surpass all previously released smartphones in zoom capabilities. It is compared to a microscope.

Camera comparison Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs Galaxy S22 Ultra shows that the new one is better, but sometimes you need to look for the difference

The authors of the GSM Arena resource compared the photo capabilities of the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with its predecessor. Unlike the previous comparison, this time we have shots in high enough quality that allow you to compare the details. However, unfortunately, there are not many photos.
To begin with, it is worth noting that in low or poor lighting, the new model really shows itself better. True, this is partly due to the sharpening of images, which not everyone likes.
As for the comparison in good lighting, there is no particular difference, except that the pictures on the new smartphone are less contrasting and saturated in colors.
If we compare photos in 200 and 50 megapixel modes, we can note not only higher detail in the first case, but also increased contrast.
Recall also, we have already seen the comparison of the Galaxy S23 Ultra with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Sony in their repertoire. In the first photo, the flagship smartphone Xperia 1 V is very similar to the previous several generations

Sony may present its next-generation flagship smartphone at the end of this month at the MWC 2023 event, but today the first photo of the Xperia 1 V has hit the Web.
As you can see, Sony will continue to use the same design that they switched to with the Xperia 1 II in 2020. Compared to the current model, there are some changes in the design of the camera, but they are minor. It also seems that the module itself has become larger, although compared to some modern devices, it is still very tiny.
You can also see that the lower camera, as in the current generation, will be a periscope module. According to the leaks, the Xperia 1 V will receive a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is logical. Given the parameters of past models of the line, we can also expect a large amount of memory and not the largest screen by modern standards.

85% of all profits in the smartphone market came from Apple, and this is a new record

Apple’s last quarter was the first quarter in years that the company recorded a year-on-year decline in revenue and profit. However, Apple still earns the most in the smartphone market, and 2022 was a record year for it. According to Counterpoint, 85% of all profits in the smartphone market came from Apple.
First, it means that Apple made more money than everyone else combined. Secondly, this is a record figure for the company. But that’s not all. At the end of last year, Apple also accounted for 48% of all revenue in the smartphone market, and this is also a record value for the company. And even in terms of deliveries, the Cupertino giant set its own record, taking 18% of the entire market.
As you can see from the graphs, shipments as a percentage have not changed much since at least 2015, but Apple’s profit and revenue in recent years relative to the market as a whole have grown significantly. That is, the average selling price of a smartphone from a company is growing.
In total, about 1.2 billion smartphones were sold in the world last year, which corresponds to a fall of 12%. And this is the lowest figure in almost 10 years.
Smartphone revenue fell 9% to $409 billion. This is the lowest figure since 2017. The increase in the average selling price of a smartphone last year was 5%. Given the statistics, probably thanks to Apple.
