Samsung’s next big smartphone coming in 2021 is rumoured to have a camera with over 100 megapixels. Samsung is expected to invest heavily in the camera optics department in the coming years if they want to compete successfully with more cost-effective Chinese brands. Their latest cooperation with Xiaomi marks a new segment where Samsung plans to provide more camera modules to Chinese manufacturers vs. just designing and producing smartphones. According to the latest rumours, Samsung 108 megapixel primary camera is expected to be better than the 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HMX sensor found in Xiaomi’s Mi Note 10 and Mi MIX Alpha.
The handsets are also expected to have 5x optical zoom, Deep Fusion-like technology, and camera features such as Single Take Photo, Director’s View, Night Hyperlapse, Vertical Panoramas, an impressive 8K video recording, and other features. The Samsung Galaxy S11 series is also expected to have three screen sizes. The affordable low-cost Galaxy S11e is said to have a 6.3-inch/6.4-inch screen, while the Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11 Pro could possibly have a 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch displays. The panels will most likely be Dynamic AMOLED, sport punch-hole for selfie cameras, offer HDR10+ support, have up to QHD+ resolution, and feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
In addition, all three models are expected to come with both 4G and 5G connectivity, powered with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC/ Exynos 990 SoC running under Android 10-based One UI 2.0 custom skin to take care of the software side of things.

The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max come with impressive ultra-wide angle and telephoto lenses, though those are the least of the enhancements Apple has made to its newest flagships. The real innovation has been done in apple’s software. Apple’s Night Mode sets a new level for low-light photography within the industry, implementing a new Smart HDR technology that utilizes a breakthrough machine learning technique called semantic rendering to selectively over-or underexpose specific areas of the scene differently. For example, highlights in a subject’s face might be left mostly intact, while highlights in the background are reduced more aggressively.
On the video front, all three of the iPhone 11 Pro’s rear cameras are capable of recording at 4K resolution and 60 frames-per-second, and even the front-facing shooter captures slow-motion clips for dynamic and dramatic “selfies.” Both the regular 5.8-inch model and the 6.5-inch Max variant feature the same cameras, while the cheaper 6.1-inch iPhone 11 ditches the telephoto lens, but can still capture the same quality photos otherwise.

HUAWEI P40 PRO
Huawei P40 Pro is not only rumoured to be equipped with a 5500 mAh battery and uses graphene technology, but also the so-called 65w super fast charge head spy photos are exposed on the network.

If possible, increase battery capacity.
As for Huawei, no similar information has been disclosed in the industry chain for the time being, but considering that the biggest feature of graphene batteries is fast charging speed and higher security, and Huawei has one minute to win the second prize of the National Natural Science Award. The charging technology patent that is full of 80% of the power, so if the Huawei P40 Pro can charge to 71% in only 10 minutes as rumoured, then it is still possible to use graphene battery technology.
