  • The camera hardware on the Huawei Mate 20 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro might not be much different to the P20 range, but it sounds like the software could be getting upgraded, as there’s evidence of an Underwater Mode, AI Zoom and more.

  • Samsung has just announced its first phone with a triple-lens camera and it’s not a flagship, rather it’s the mid-range Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018). Despite the three lenses we wouldn’t expect this camera to match the snappers on the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus or Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but its existence makes the rumors of a triple-lens Samsung Galaxy S10 that much more believable.

  • We already know that the OnePlus 6T is set to drop the headphone jack and include an in-display fingerprint scanner, but until now we are yet to learn much about the rear camera.
