Sony Ready 21MP Four Thirds Image Sensor Capable of Shooting Full Resolution 120fps Video
Sony Semiconductor Solutions has released specifications for a 21.46MP Four Thirds (21.77mm diagonal) CMOS sensor. At the moment, the IMX472-AAJK is the first known serial sensor with a multi-layer layout. It features a 27dB programmable gain amplifier, 12-bit A / D converter and 14-bit SLVS-EC scalable interface. This allowed for impressive opportunities.
So, in full resolution of 5280 x 3956 pixels with 12-bit representation, you can shoot at 121 fps. By choosing 10-bit representation, you can increase the frequency to 158.4 fps. By decreasing the resolution, you can also increase the frequency. So, when shooting with a resolution of 1760 x 1318 pixels, you can calculate not the frequencies of 358.7 fps and 465.7 fps with 12-bit and 10-bit data representation, respectively. The complete table of reading modes is shown below:
The sensor description says the AAJK variant is a Quad Bayer sensor. This does not exclude the possibility of releasing a version with a conventional Bayer filter. For packaging, we chose an LGA package with dimensions of 20.58 x 16.45 mm with 216 pins.

No Apple Watch, Xiaomi, Amazfit or Huawei on the leaderboard, although Samsung has squeezed its way through. India’s smartwatch market looks very unusual and is changing rapidly

The Indian market is often different from the global one, and the smartwatch market is no exception. Here the leaders are not at all Apple, Garmin or Huawei.
According to Counterpoint analysts, the Indian smartwatch market grew by an incredible 312% in the second quarter. How much it is in quantitative terms, unfortunately, is not reported.
And the leaders here are almost never found companies that are leaders in many other markets or globally. Moreover, in just one year, the smartwatch market in India has changed a lot.
The leader here now is Fire-Bolt with 27.7%, while a year earlier it occupied only 8.9%! Noise moved to second place with 26%, Boat rounded out the top three with 19.5%. All other companies have not even overcome the threshold of 4%. The top five also includes Samsung with 3.3% and Dizo with 2.5%.
If we talk about other companies, Realme increased sales by 76%, but fell to seventh place. Apple came in eighth with a 197% increase in sales, and interestingly enough, Pebble watches, which is now owned by Mensa, are in ninth.
Of course, the above data is exactly that, because the source refers to smart watches all activity trackers that are made in the appropriate form factor. The lion’s share of them is not a full-fledged smart watch with an operating system.

Xiaomi is in big trouble. The company’s net profit for the last quarter collapsed by 83%

Xiaomi has been hit hard by the decline in demand in the smartphone market. As the company’s latest financial report showed, its net income has plummeted an incredible 83% to $204 million. This turned out to be even lower than the company’s own forecasts.
At the same time, revenue fell much less: by 20%, to $10.3 billion, and this is insignificant, but higher than forecasts.
In China, shipments of Xiaomi smartphones fell by 22% last quarter, while the overall market there fell by 14.7%. The fall of Xiaomi was the most significant among the market leaders.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra will indeed get a 200MP camera. Samsung allegedly confirmed this to its partners

Samsung will indeed equip the flagship smartphone Galaxy S23 Ultra with its 200-megapixel sensor for the main camera.
The source claims that Samsung has already confirmed this information to its partners. Recall that we have heard such rumors before. At the same time, it is not yet clear which sensor the Korean giant will use, but rumors said that this would be a solution that has not yet been announced.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra will be the only flagship device with such a camera, but that’s to be expected, as the latest generation S2x Ultra models have always had a different camera than the younger versions. At the same time, it is possible that the Galaxy S23 / S23 + can get 108-megapixel sensors, previously reserved for Ultra versions.
Recall, the other day Motorola introduced the first smartphone with a 200-megapixel camera. The Moto X30 Pro features the first of its kind Samsung ISOCELL HP1 sensor.
