1. Top 5 Trendsetting Smartphones Worldwide
It's only the second quarter of 2019, yet the smartphone market is already buzzing with numerous high-end products from various manufacturers. Let's take a look at the names of these smartphones that have been making waves and garnering significant attention in the global smartphone market.
Huawei P30 Pro
The Huawei P30 Pro, a collaborative effort between Huawei and Leica, has captured the attention of the global market with its incredible 50X zoom capability. This is achieved through an innovative periscope-style camera system, allowing for 5X optical zoom while maintaining a remarkably slim profile. Combined with the 40MP primary camera, users can achieve a Hybrid zoom of up to 10x, and with digital zoom added, it can reach up to 50x.
The Huawei P30 Pro boasts not just one but four rear cameras. Its main 40MP f1.6 camera excels in low-light conditions, thanks to innovative sensor technology capable of pushing ISO to over 400,000 while maintaining excellent quality. Additionally, it features a wide-angle camera and a dedicated TOF camera for more natural background blur. With numerous groundbreaking features appearing for the first time on a smartphone, the P30 Pro currently leads the world as the premier camera phone.
The device flaunts a striking dual-tone color-changing back, along with a 6.47-inch FullHD+ display with a waterdrop notch housing the front camera. It also features an in-display fingerprint sensor and the capability for reverse wireless charging for other devices.
Samsung Galaxy S10
The Samsung Galaxy S10, marking the 10th anniversary of the Galaxy smartphone lineup, introduces numerous enhancements over its predecessors. Most notably, it features a hole-punch display technology to house the front camera inside the screen, resulting in uniformly thin bezels. The fingerprint sensor is embedded under the display using ultrasonic fingerprint technology. The camera setup includes a main camera with variable aperture from f1.5 to f2.4, a 123-degree ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2x telephoto camera with f2.4 aperture. Additionally, reverse wireless charging for other devices is also equipped on the back of the device.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3
The Mi Mix 3 impresses with a sliding mechanism reminiscent of phones from years ago. The front camera system of the device is housed inside the body, and when needed, users slide the screen downwards to reveal the dual 24MP front cameras. Unlike phones with automatic sliding mechanisms, the Mi Mix 3 uses a passive sliding mechanism, which the manufacturer claims will be much more durable than using a motor to move the camera module.
Galaxy Fold and Mate X
Both these devices are yet to be officially released, and they both feature foldable screen technology that allows them to transform from a phone to a tablet and vice versa. However, their folding methods differ: the Galaxy Fold folds the screen inward, while the Mate X folds it outward. When folded, the Galaxy Fold utilizes an additional small screen for phone mode.
Both of these devices come with an extremely high price tag, ranging from 2-3 thousand dollars. Despite being introduced to the world several months ago, neither has been officially released yet.
The mobile phone market is currently bustling with the launch of many high-end devices featuring groundbreaking features. A common trend among recent smartphones is a heavy emphasis on camera-related features. It's evident that users are increasingly using mobile phones to capture moments in life, and companies are investing heavily in researching new technologies to bring new photography experiences to smartphones.
