The small, lightweight, inexpensive camcorder was a great liberator for filmmaking. Not only did it mark a significant leap in accessibility, it also made it easier for filmmakers to achieve the kind of raw, immediate visual language that had been established by directors like Spike Jonze in Video Days (1991).

The Poco C81 will feature a 6,300mAh battery with 15W wired charging and 7.5W wired reverse charging support, along with a 13MP primary rear camera.

Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra wasn't the first phone to feature a periscopic telephoto lens - both Huawei and Oppo beat the Korean company to it - but it was the first in the US to make such a big deal about it. Almost all of Samsung's marketing for the S20 Ultra centered on its so-called Space Zoom, its 5x optical folded periscope lens, capable of digitally zooming much further.

Despite achieving 28% year-on-year growth, the Pixel still only accounted for 6.1% of the $600-and-up smartphone market in the U.S., which is dominated by Apple.

In recent years, smartphone photography has become increasingly dominated by software. Computational imaging, AI processing, and post-capture optimisation now play a central role in how images are produced. Yet as these techniques become more widespread, camera hardware is once again emerging as a key differentiator. The REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G Series reflects this shift clearly, placing renewed emphasis on sensor capability and optical fundamentals rather than relying solely on software to define image quality.

The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to debut later this year and will likely comprise a standard model alongside the Xiaomi 18 Pro. While details about the lineup remain scarce, a new leak suggests that the devices could feature a dual 200MP camera setup. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, an upcoming compact flagship with a 6.3-inch display is tipped to feature dual 200MP rear cameras.

Platform lock-in is a thing, and Apple has it better than most. Apple provides an entire ecosystem of devices and cross-device functionality that most other OEMs can't match. It's not that Samsung doesn't have an ecosystem of its own, but Apple's devices are designed from the ground up to work together. They're on a level of detail that other ecosystems -- including Samsung's -- can't really compete with.
