Sony Xperia XZ4 to have 52MP sensor

Yesterday, we heard about some specs for the Sony Xperia XZ4 leak ahead of an official announcement. Just a few hours later, a wonky report surfaced claiming that the Xperia XZ4 will have a 52MP sensor, the highest of any smartphone right now. The current record is held by the Honor View 20, which has a 48MP sensor. The camera system in question is comprised of three cameras. The first is a 16MP telephoto camera with an f/2.6 aperture lens. The middle camera is the 52MP camera with f/1.6.The last camera at the bottom is a 0.3MP ToF sensor with an f/1.4.

iPhone XS Max successor to look the same, have three rear cameras

Apple is planning to keep the successors to the iPhone XS and XS Max looking pretty much the same. However, the bigger model will ship with three rear cameras, according to a new report from "people familiar with the plans". The third shooter is likely to be a wide-angle camera, complementing the normal one and the telephoto lens nicely, allowing for a higher range of zoom. There will be some assorted software magic too, with one possible feature being automatic repairing of videos or photos to fit in a subject that may have been accidentally cut off from the initial shot.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 teardown shows the magnets of its unique sliding mechanism

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 uses a unique sliding mechanism that relies on two pairs of strong neodymium magnets to hold the phone in the up and down positions and also provide the "springy" feeling in between. If you're curious about how that works, you can watch Zack from JerryRigEverything take the phone apart. You can see two magnets at 2:35, but that's only half of them. The other half are behind the screen - they line up perfectly when the Mi Mix 3 is closed and push each other away when it is open.

Canalys: Apple ships fewer iPhones in 2018, Samsung misses targets too

The smartphone market is past its peak, say analysts from Canalys. The two big players, Apple and Samsung, both slipped down. Apple was the top smartphone vendor in the final quarter of 2018, however it's in second place for the full year. It fell about 7% in Q4, which put it very close to Samsung (down 5%) and the market shares of the two giants are within a percentage point. Meanwhile, Chinese brands gained ground.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro's AI finishes a symphony from two centuries ago

Schubert wrote two movements of his Symphony No. 8 back in 1822, but left it unfinished. Huawei has decided that 197 years of waiting is long enough and has tapped into the AI powers of the Mate 20 Pro to deliver the final two movements. The dual NPU of the phone was used to analyze the timbre, pitch and meter of the existing movements in order to generate a melody for the next two. That melody was then used by Emmy award-winning composer Lucas Cantor to arrange an orchestral score. The finished symphony will be performed live at Cadogan Hall in London on February 4.

Bluetooth 5.1 comes to boost indoor navigation, tracker tags

Indoor navigation and tracker tags will become much better in the near future thanks to the direction finding feature of Bluetooth 5.1.

With v5.1 it will have two ways to sense the direction by using multiple antennas (either on the phone or on the transmitter).

The Apple App Store's developers payout exceeds $120B

Apple's App Store is doing quite well and by extension its developers are doing well too. Since its establishment in 2008 the App Store has generated more than $120B in developer earnings - that's without Apple's own 30% cut of the revenues. The App Store is growing faster than ever, generating more than $30B in developer earnings in the last 12 months alone. The revenue figures for developers' earnings include downloads, in-app purchases and subscriptions, meaning some developers might earn even more from in-app ads.
