Hello pinchers! It's tech-news time.
So it looks like with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung is going after Huawei, their powerhouse the Huawei P40 Pro plus to be exact. South Korean publication has gotten the camera details of the Galaxy S21 Ultra which shows that Samsung is making one big significant change in the camera department. One notable trend we've seen in the last year or so has been the focus on the zoom capabilities on a smartphone.

Huawei introduced this concept on the P30 Pro, Samsung followed it on the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 Ultra. But with the P40 Pro Plus Huawei went ahead of Samsung by offering not one but two telephoto cameras. One is a periscope zoom and another is a traditional zoom camera. Samsung, however, doesn't want to give Huawei any competitive advantage and that's the reason they are also doing the same and that is including two telephoto cameras. Now, you wonder why two telephoto cameras? Well, as seen on the P30 Pro, since it has a single 5x periscope zoom camera, the zoomed image quality anything below 5x tends to suffer since it combines images from the main camera and the periscope camera. It does a great job at 5x but anything below that the quality tends to suffer.
The same is the case for Samsung. And that's the reason Samsung is including two telephoto cameras on the S21 Ultra. One for the short-range zoom and another for long-range zoom. Also, the P40 Pro Plus has a 10x periscope zoom camera as opposed to 5x on the Note 20 Ultra. The good thing is, South Korean media says Samsung will include more than 5x periscope camera and 3x telephoto camera. Now, we'll have to wait and see what exactly do they mean by more than 5x? Anyway, the rest camera setup includes an improved 108MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 40MP selfie camera. Basically the S21 Ultra will pack a quad-camera setup at the back assisted by a laser auto focusing system. And it's going to remain the same.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra will have a 5000mAh battery same as its predecessor. That's according to Galaxy Club one of the most reputed sources out there. So this means we have the accurate battery capacities of all the Galaxy S21 variants next year. The S21 will have a 4000mAh battery, 4800mAh on the S21 Plus, and a 5000mAh on the S21 ultra Here's something really awkward. The US customs seized 2000 counterfeit Apple Air Pods at a JFK International Airport cargo facility and proudly tweeted “THAT’S NOT AN APPLE,” saying that it would have been valued at $398,000 "had it been genuine." There was only one problem. It was genuine: They were OnePlus Buds and clearly it was mentioned on the box itself.
To be fair on their part, OnePlus buds area total ripoff of Apple AirPods and anyone can confuse them for AirPods. But in this situation googling would at least have informed the officers that the product is already widespread in established shops and that it might be a good idea to get a second opinion and more investigation before pulling the trigger. I mean it certainly looks like those officers can do math just fine and can even use the internet to tweet but somehow don’t know how to Google a company name before deciding if the company is legitimate or not. Anyway let me know what do you think down in the comments. Till then, keep pinching.
