What will the Pixel Ultra be capable of with an inch sensor in the main camera? The latest rumors talk about the possible release of such a smartphone
Google appears to be ready to release three more Pixel smartphones in the near future.
We’ve heard about the foldable Pixel Fold or Pixel Notepad before, the Pixel 7a is also expected, and now we’ve got rumors about the Pixel 7 Ultra (or just the Pixel Ultra). And this smartphone will allegedly receive a main camera with an inch sensor.
The Pixel 7 Pro is already the best camera phone on the market, according to DxOMark, and the one-inch sensor could take Google’s new smartphone to the next level. However, these are all just probabilities, and there are nuances regarding the smartphone itself.
The fact is that information about the Pixel Ultra was shared by a reliable insider Ice Universe, who, among other things, was the first to tell exactly about the new trend for smartphones with waterfall screens, about the bangs in the iPhone X, about the new design of the iPhone 14 and about the 200-megapixel sensor Samsung images. At the same time, the insider Kuba Wojciechowski, who does not have such a track record, but previously correctly indicated the characteristics of the Tensor G2 and was the first to indicate that Xiaomi would start using the JLQ platforms, shared data on Pixel novelties not based on some of his sources, but taking them from the Android code at the next update.
According to these data, Google is working on two models codenamed Lynx and Felix. This information is not new, and it was previously believed that the Lynx is a foldable smartphone, and Felix is a Pixel 7a. Now, an insider says the Felix is likely a foldable Pixel, and the Lynx is supposed to be the Pixel Ultra. But for this smartphone, image sensors are already registered in the system code, and there is no inch one. We are talking about Samsung GN1, like Pixel 6/Pixel 7, Sony IMX787 for telephoto and IMX712 for ultra-wide.
In general, it is clear so far that various sources have started talking about the Pixel Ultra model, but it is completely unclear what it will be like. If you look at the parameters of the same Pixel 7 Pro, it has a 120Hz screen with a resolution of 1440p, and up to 12 GB of RAM, and a top-end camera, and a large battery, so what should the Pixel Ultra be like to take it one step higher, for now dont clear.

OnePlus 12 will have an OLED BOE X1 panel with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels. One of the pictures below compares this panel with the 2K CSOT panel. The frame rate will be 120 Hz, the PWM adjustment frequency will be 2160 Hz.
The official premiere of OnePlus 12 will take place on December 5. The smartphone will receive a heavily updated Hasselblad camera (you can see sample photos here) and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately report the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12.

Xiaomi introduced the inexpensive Redmi K70E – the first smartphone with MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra and HyperOS
In addition to Redmi K70, Redmi K70 Pro and Redmi K70 Pro Champion Edition, Xiaomi today presented the junior model in the “anniversary” series Redmi K70 in honor of the 10th anniversary of the Redmi brand. As expected, it was Redmi K70E.
Redmi K70E is positioned as the first smartphone with the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra hardware platform, as well as the HyperOS operating system based on Android 14 right out of the box.
Prices for Redmi K70E start at $282 – and this is for the version with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal flash memory. Sales have already begun.
Redmi K70E is equipped with a 5500 mAh battery with support for 90 W charging. The smartphone is quite thin – 8.05 mm, and it weighs 198 grams. Other characteristics include a 6.67-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1.5K (2712 x 1220 pixels) and a frame rate of 120 Hz, a triple main camera (64 MP module with OIS, 8 MP ultra-wide-angle and 2 MP macro), front 32 MP camera, 5G and NFC support.

Redmi K70 Pro presented: an AI smartphone with a super-bright, flicker-free screen, record-breaking (for Redmi) performance and a brand new camera
Today in China, Redmi officially introduced the new flagship Redmi K70 Pro. This is the brand’s first smartphone based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 single-chip system.
Accordingly, this is the most powerful Redmi in history. In AnTuTu, Redmi K70 Pro scores 2.247 million points – on par with Xiaomi 14 and other flagships on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (except for Red Magic 9 Pro). A very large vapor chamber is responsible for cooling the SoC and components.
The temperature of the components is monitored by 9 sensors, and they are located not only in the area of the SoC and battery, but also in the main camera modules. Data from these sensors is analyzed by AI. In general, AI is used almost everywhere in the Redmi K70 Pro (this also applies to scenarios for using the smartphone by the user, and analysis of shooting conditions, and optimization of performance in games), so it can well be called an AI smartphone. Sorry, Samsung.
The OLED C8 screen, jointly developed by TCL and Redmi, is characterized by a diagonal of 6.67 inches and a resolution of 2K. An important feature of the display is ultra-high brightness of 4000 cd/sq.m. In terms of peak brightness, Redmi K70 Pro has surpassed all smartphones currently on the market. But OnePlus 12 will have higher peak brightness.
The main sensor of the Redmi K70 Pro main camera is a 50-megapixel Light and Shadow Hunter 800 optical format 1/1.55 inches with large pixels measuring 2 microns. The module with it includes a wide-angle lens with an F/1.6 aperture and an optical image stabilization system.
The module with a telephoto lens (it provides 2x optical zoom) uses a 50-megapixel sensor, and the third module uses a 12-megapixel sensor and an ultra-wide-angle lens with a viewing angle of 120°.
The Redmi K70 Pro battery capacity is 5000 mAh and supports 120 W charging. Redmi K70 Pro is the brand’s first model with HyperOS based on Android 14 out of the box.
Prices for the version with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory are $460. Redmi K70 Pro has become the most affordable smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3; other flagships are about $100 more expensive.
