The revolutionary Hasselblad camera in the OnePlus 9 smartphone is presented
OnePlus held a press conference this afternoon and announced a strategic partnership with Hasselblad to help improve the Chinese manufacturer’s smartphone camera capabilities. It was also confirmed during the press conference that the OnePlus 9 will be the first smartphone on the market with a Hasselblad camera. It supports shooting in RAW at 12-bit color depth, and also simulates Hasselblad’s unique mechanical shutter sound.
OnePlus said it has invested more than $ 150 million in the development of mobile imaging technologies over the past three years. In addition to the Hasselblad collaboration announcement, OnePlus also announced four imaging technologies, including a 140 ° ultra-wide-angle sensor camera, freeform lens, a new autofocus system, and an IMX789 sensor.
The 140 ° ultra wide angle sensor camera consists of two wide angle cameras and a triangular prism. Two cameras take pictures at the same time, after which a single image is obtained without distortion.
The new autofocus system is comparable in speed to the human eye, the speed has been reduced to 1 ms, which is 5-10 times faster than modern cameras. A camera with this system can focus quickly even when shaken.
In response to the distortion issue of ultra-wide-angle lenses, OnePlus also introduced free-form lens technology. With conventional aspherical lenses, distortion reaches 10-20%. The new technology can reduce distortion as low as 1%.
Also introduced was the Sony IMX789 image sensor, which is said to be the most expensive sensor ever. It supports 4K HDR video recording at 120 fps. The larger sensor area allows for more light and better image quality. All details about the sensor will be announced later.

It turned out that in Android 13, the search giant fixed a huge number of bugs that existed in Pixel smartphones. More specifically, the list includes 151 issues that Google has fixed in the update.
In particular, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have a much better in-display fingerprint scanner, the slowness of which many have complained about. We also fixed the issue with double-tap to wake up the screen, Always-On Display, auto-brightness, auto-rotate the screen, and more. Users of the new Pixels say that smartphones have simply become faster and more stable.

The cameras of the iPhone X, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro were compared in a general image
Less than a month is left before the release of the iPhone 14 series, while insiders leaked the design of the smartphone a long time ago, and the exact drawings that fell into the hands of accessory manufacturers made it possible to create three-dimensional models of new devices.
The main innovation of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be new screens that will abandon the bangs that appeared in the iPhone X and get two small holes. We have already published a comparison of the screens of the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro.
However, new smartphones will also receive once again an enlarged main camera unit. This time, it will not only be large in area, but also protrude more strongly above the surface of the rear panel (by as much as 4.17 mm).
The source published a comparison of the main camera modules of five generations of Apple smartphones: iPhone X, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro.
Recall that the size of the main camera block of the iPhone 14 Pro will be increased, in particular, due to the use of a new 48-megapixel camera.
According to rumors, new smartphones will be presented on September 7th.
