Samsung smartphone with four cameras coming this year

Samsung may be readying a device with four cameras on the back and it won't be a Galaxy Note nor a Galaxy S (nor the foldable Galaxy F) phone. The information comes from Twitter user and popular leakster Ice universe.

In his tweet Ice universe makes clear we're talking about a device that will launch in 2018 with four cameras, although no details were provided.

So, what could it be? If we had to guess we would take a pick among Samsung's A series and say that it could be a Galaxy A9 device for 2019 - those typically launch at the end of previous year. Since the current A-series have dual front cameras it's not hard to imagine that the next gen will also pack dual rear ones as they often inherit Galaxy S flagship features.

Face ID in iOS 12 can now recognize two different people

Apple appears to be readying multi-user Face ID support in iOS 12. 9to5Mac reports that the recent iOS 12 beta lets iPhone X users setup an “Alternative Appearance” in Face ID settings. “In addition to continuously learning how you look, Face ID can recognize an alternative appearance,” reads Apple’s own note on the feature. Touch ID, used on older iPhones, supports fingerprints from different people, but Face ID has been restricted to just a single user so far. While the new iOS 12 feature is clearly designed to recognize a different appearance (possibly for hats etc), testers have found it works on an entirely different face. 9to5Mac speculates that this feature could be related to an iPad with Face ID that’s also referenced in the iOS 12 beta. Several reports have suggested Apple is readying a new iPad with Face ID and no home button for later this year. An additional face for Face ID might be useful for a new iPad, but it’s also a feature tha...

Apple starts building iPhone 6S in India to lower costs

Apple has started to manufacture iPhone 6S units in India in an effort to lower costs for the phone. The 6S joins the iPhone SE, which Apple began manufacturing in the country last year, according to The Economic Times . Importcosts saw a 15 to 20 percent increase due to tariffs from India’s government back in February. By building the devices in India, Apple hopes to be able to defray some of those costs to better compete in the Indian market. According to The Economic Times , it’ll take some time for Apple to get manufacturing capacity up to speed, so the company will continue to import devices from outside the country, too. So Indian customers shouldn’t expect any price cuts — at least for now.

A camera inside the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 S Pen, Here's what is other special stuff inside it

Back in February, patent number 10,198,649 filed with the USPTO gave us a glimpse of what the future may hold for Samsung's Galaxy Note series. Spotted by Patently Mobile, the documents describe what certainly looks like an S Pen – an S Pen with a built-in camera. The patented camera system resides in the upper portion of the stylus. Light enters through a lens placed either on the side of the S Pen or on the top of the stylus, where the clicker is currently found. Moreover, the camera is described as having optical zooming abilities. Cool stuff, right? The description of patent 10,198,649 reads 'The electric pen device includes an optical system including a lens and an image sensor configured to convert an image signal of light that has passed through the optical system to an electrical signal. The electric pen device includes a control board configured to interact with an electronic device and a communication module configured to communicate by wire or wir...
