Samsung Galaxy Note20+ to have a 108 MP sensor, 50X zoom



Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Note20 lineup in August, and rumors are already starting to get very specific. According to prolific leakster IceUniverse on Twitter and Weibo, the Galaxy Note20+ smartphone will have a 108MP sensor, while the ToF will be replaced by a laser focus sensor, assisting the main cam.

The sensor will be the 1/1.33" Samsung Bright HM1 - the very same seen in the Galaxy S20 Ultra. The additional laser focus sensor will assist the main camera, instead of having a static ToF sensor that analyzes the foreground and background.

The sensor behind the ultrawide-angle lens will be a 12MP ISOCELL Fast 2L3, which is 1/2.55” in size and comes with PDAF. According to the leakster, there will also be a periscope telephoto lens, but it have a 13MP Samsung Slim 3M5 - official numbers say it is 1/3”, while Universe Ice suggests it is 1/3.4”. With the smaller sensor compared to the Galaxy S20 Ultra the zoom will be limited to 50X - Samsung won’t pursue the 100X benchmark anymore.

Around  300 apps have been withdrawn  from Google’s Play Store after they were found to be secretly hijacking Android devices to supply traffic for wide-scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, as noted by  Gizmodo . Google removed apps that offered services like ringtones and storage managers after security researchers uncovered the “WireX” botnet was behind the ploy. Malware was hidden inside the affected apps, and as long as the device remained switched on it was used in DDoS attacks. Researchers at cloud services provider Akamai discovered WireX after a hospitality company suffered from a DDoS attack involving hundreds of thousands of IP addresses. DDoS attacks work by overwhelming a target with large amounts of data from multiple IP addresses, and they’re effective at taking down websites and services that can’t cope with a data influx. Google said in a statement it’s currently in the process of removing the malicious apps from affected devices, an...

HTC Desire 20 Pro certified by Google Play, NCC

HTC’s glory days are well in the past, but the Taiwanese company is trying to stay relevant in the smartphone world. As spotted by a vigilant Twitter user, the Desire 20 Pro has been certified at NCC and Google Play Support. Previously the same phone appeared on Geekbench and in leaked schematics . The Google Play Support page mentions the same HTC 2Q9J1000 model number we saw earlier. Seeing how this is a Pro there is likely to be a vanilla version in the pipeline as well, but we haven't heard anything about it. HTC Desire 20 Pro certifications When the phones eventually arrive, they will be a follow-up of the Desire 19 lineup that brought us the Desire 19s and Desire 19+ . Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...
