Netflix breathes new life into the stale Terminator franchise with an animated series

After the travesty that was Terminator: Dark Fate, fans have all but abandoned the franchise. Created by James Cameron in the 80s, The Terminator was a dark look at a future war that spills out on to our timeline. The film saw massive success and a sequel pished the limits of filmmaking even further. T2: Judgement Day is one of the greatest films ever made, and it's easy to see why. The direction, writing, story and special effects all come together to create a sci-fi masterpiece. But, alas, the subsequent sequels toned down the violence to a PG-13 rating and forever ruined the franchise. But, there seems to be a sea change coming. Variety has just reported that there is a Terminator animated Netflix series in the works. 

Terminator animated series announced by Netflix

There is no word on the production yet as it is still in its early stages of development. But, we do know that the series will be produced by Skydance. The project will also feature IG productions who have worked on Ghost in the Shell and Eden of the East. In a statement to Variety, John Derderian, Netflix’s vice president of Japan and anime said, “Terminator is one of the most iconic sci-fi stories ever created–and has only grown more relevant to our world over time. The new animated series will explore this universe in a way that has never been done before. We can’t wait for fans to experience this amazing new chapter in the epic battle between machines and humans.”

It’s clear that Netflix are looking at really breaking the anime market with original shows like Castlevania and Dragon’s Dogma being some of the best on the platform. We’re also getting a new Pacific Rim animated series on Netflix. If you’re a fan of anime, we’ve also got a list of the best anime shows that you should definitely check out.

PS Plus subscribers to receive four free PS4 and PS5 games for the month of March

If you’ve managed to snag a sweet PS5 or own a reliable PS4, there are four reasons that should cheer you up. For subscribers of PS Plus, there are a whopping four games for free on the service for the month of March. Just last month we got Destruction AllStars, Control Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie. This month though, Sony is giving PS Plus subscribers four great games such as the Final Fantasy 7 remake, Maquette, Remnant: From the Ashes and a VR game called Farpoint. 

Final Fantasy 7 Remake: 

A remake of one of the most beloved titles in gaming, FF7 is a joy to play. The game will be available for both the PS4 and PS5 (vis backwards compatibility). But, there is a bit of a downside to this offer though. The upgraded version for the PS will not be available for free and players will have to purchase the upgrade to experience the next-gen version of the game. For us PS4 plebs, we’re free to play the entire game. 

Remnant: From the Ashes

If you’re a fan of mindless monster shoot’em up action, then you will love Remnant. The gameplay is solid, and it’s got great enemy design as well as some cool bosses. It is a co-op shooter, so you can call on a friend to kick some creature butt. The game will be playable on both the PS4 and the PS5. 

Farpoint:

Farpoint is a VR FPS game that can be played using a DualShock controller. Blast your way through alien worlds and hideous enemies in a single-player campaign. After that, you can jump into multiplayer mode as well. The game is best played with the Aim controller. 

Maquette:

Exclusive to the PS5, Maquette is a puzzle game with a first-person perspective. Developed by Annapurna Studios, you can expect a bit of pretentiousness and arty-farty nonsense with this game. If you’re into that sort of thing.

OnePlus 9 Pro camera interface and key specs leaked in screenshots

After a series of leaks on the OnePlus 9, now some key details of the OnePlus 9 Pro have been leaked online. The leaks come in the form of screenshots that are allegedly taken on the OnePlus 9 Pro. The leak not only reveals some key specifications but also adds weight to the possibility of its existence alongside the upcoming OnePlus 9.

The new OnePlus 9 phones are expected to launch in mid-March, and the anticipation among Indians is as high as always. Rumours indicate that there will be three models of the phone - OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, and a cheaper 9E/9Lite/9R. You can get all the scoop about the upcoming OnePlus 9 series here. 

Coming back to the latest leak, a Greek publication Techmniacs.gr has shared screenshots of the 'About Phone' screen and camera app of the OnePlus 9 Pro. As per the screenshot, the OnePlus 9 Pro will have a 6.7-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The information is already known that it will have a Snapdragon 888 chipset. However, it does reveal that is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

OnePlus 9 Pro leaked screenshots revealing key details

The image also shows that the OnePlus 9 Pro will have four rear cameras – a 48MP + 50MP + 8MP + 2MP. It does not mention the details of the front camera, but we expect it to be the same as it will be on the OnePlus 9 - a 16MP selfie shooter. Previous reports have claimed that the OnePlus 9 Pro will feature a Hasselblad powered rear camera.

Lastly, it also revealed that the OnePlus 9 Pro will run Android 11 out of the box.

While the first screenshot reveals some of the specifications, the other two images show that there could some tweaking in the camera app's design. As per the image, the settings menu has been moved to the top and from the bottom. The redesigned video settings menu will allow users to switch between frame rates, resolutions, and aspect ratios.

Looking closely, you will also find a key camera feature - support for 8K video recording at 30 frames per second and 4K video recording at 120 frames per second.

That's all that the new leak has revealed about the OnePlus 9 Pro. With the launch date approaching, we're likely to see more details of the phone pouring in.

Sony experiences outages on the PlayStation Network with problems still persisting on select games

If you’ve been having difficulties starting up games on your PS4 or PS5, then the problem isn’t at your end. The PlayStation Network suffered an outage that began on Friday and seems to still be causing a few problems. If you own a PS Vita, PS4 or a brand-new PS5, just know that these platforms are going to be affected by the outage. According to reports by Engadget and The Verge, it seems that some games are affected while others remain fully playable. 

Sony's PlayStation Network experiences outages on Friday and Saturday

An update on the PlayStation Network page states that ‘some services are experiencing issues’. Account management and the PlayStation store seem to be safe. The only category that seems to still be experiencing issues is Gaming and Social. Sony has had a few problems with the PlayStation Network, with the most notable being the 2011 PSN hack. While this isn't at the level of that issue, it is still a big problem. Engadget has reported that games like Minecraft and Call of Duty: Warzone were not accessible. On the other hand, Fortnite seemed to be running just fine. 

 

Sony had also earlier experienced a short outage on PSN on February 10th. We’re not sure how bad the issue is, at the moment, but we should be hearing something regarding the problem soon. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a PS5 in India, you could be waiting till the second half of the year. You may want to read more about that here. And, in case you’ve already bought your PS5, you’ll be happy to hear that Sony is looking to grant users access to the locked M.2 expansion slot this summer via a firmware update. You can read more about that here.

Everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Lite

Recently, an alleged Geekbench listing of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Lite was spotted on the benchmarking platform. The listing reveals some key details about the tablet that is supposedly a toned-down variant of the premium Galaxy Tab S7. 

According to the listing, first spotted by MySmartPrice, the tablet will run Android 11 and will be powered by an octa-core chipset along with 4GB RAM. However, the listing does not come as a surprise as the tablet has been mentioned in other reports as well. One of such reports claimed that Samsung has been working on a mid-range tablet that will come in Wi-Fi, LTE and 5G variants.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Lite leaked specifications

Thanks to previous reports combined with the recent Geekbench listing reveal, we now have a clear picture of what the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite might offer.

The alleged Geekbench listing of model number SM-T736B corroborates with the previous report, which claimed that the 5G model of the tablet will have the same model number. It also revealed that other models are said to be named SM-T730 (Wi-Fi) and SM-T735 (LTE). 

The Geekbench listing reveals that the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite 5G has scored 650 points in single and 1694 points in multi-core tests, respectively. As already mentioned, the listing also reveals that the Galaxy Tab 7 Lite will have 4GB of RAM and will run Android 11. 

Other known specifications as per multiple reports include an Adreno 619 GPU and the CPU has a max clock speed of 2.21GHz, which drops a hint at Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chipset as it also falls in the mid-range category. 

There are some speculations making rounds that the tab might be named Tab S8e instead of S7 Lite 5G. Also, it is reported that Samsung may also launch a bigger variant of the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite as a Plus variant. The larger variant, however, is said to have the same hardware as the alleged Galaxy Tab S7 Lite, but a bigger display. For those unaware, Samsung launched the Plus variant of its flagship Tab S7 tablet as well. The Galaxy Tab S7 Lite is speculated to come out sometime in June this year.

Samsung currently has a dominant position in the Android tablet market, and especially premium tablets. In the past, we've seen multiple tablet options across segments from Samsung, which makes the existence of the S7 Lite even more likely.

Xiaomi is all set to launch the Redmi Note 10 series on March 4. The series is likely to feature three new phones, the Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 10 Pro and Note 10 Pro Max. Ahead of the launch, the phone maker has teased the series, with the company's India CEO Manu Kumar Jain taking to Twitter to show off the Redmi Note 10's box. 

The teaser image reveals key specifications and features of the upcoming budget smartphone, with the box showing the Redmi Note 10 in orange gradient colour. The teaser also reveals other details about the devices, with the box confirming the top-end Note 10 will get a 108-megapixel lens. In another teaser, Jain has also confirmed that the Redmi Note 10 will support 120Hz display.

— Manu Kumar Jain (@manukumarjain) February 28, 2021

 

Apart from this, Xiaomi has officially announced that the Redmi Note 10 series will be powered by Qualcomm's premium mid-range Snapdragon processors. While the company is yet to reveal the exact details about the processors powering the Redmi Note 10 series, it is expected that the Snapdragon 732G chip could make an appearance on one of the phones in the lineup. Reports suggest the standard Redmi Note 10 could be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 processor which was launched back in December 2020. 

Previous leaks have indicated that the Redmi Note 10 will arrive in three colours: White, Green and Grey and in two configurations of 4GB/6GB RAM and 6GB storage. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 10 Pro is expected to be offered with 6GB/8GB RAM and 64GB/128GB storage options to choose from. The third phone on the list, the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, is expected to be offered in black, bronze and blue colours with 6GB/8GB RAM and upto 128GB storage options.

As mentioned above, one of the phones in the Redmi Note 10 series will be the 108MP camera in the line-up. This will be part of a quad-camera set-up. However, we don't have any detail about the other lenses on the set-up. According to previous reports, the Redmi Note 10 Pro could have a 64MP camera lens based set-up.

Facebook introduces new music app inspired by TikTok called BARS

In a bid to capture the TikTok market, Facebook has introduced an app called BARS. Developed by the company’s NPE team, the app will function much like TikTok. It will give users the ability to record music with almost studio-like quality. Users will also have access to drum beats and loops that they can spit rhymes over. If it wasn't clear already, Facebook is looking at targeting the younger  demographic that listens to rap music. Even the term ‘bars’ refers to the lyrical content in a rap song. If anything, considering the popularity of hip-hop in India, we could see the app taking off. 

Facebook introduces BARS, a TikTok-like app

The app also comes with an auto-suggest feature that will help rappers come up with better rhymes. It truly is the commodification of music, but what can you do? This was bound to happen at some point. The app will also come with auto-tune and other post-processing effects to really sell the ‘studio-like’ audio quality claim. Even as recently as June 2020, Facebook launched an app called Collab as a beta test on iOS. The app allowed different users to collaborate with each other on their music. It looks like Facebook is really going all in on the music aspect of these apps. How it actually turns out, only time will tell. 

It is understandable that Facebook would work on apps like BARS and Collab, given that most people have been working remotely for the past year. The pandemic has completely changed modern society and Facebook is looking at capitalizing on that. BARS is up on the Apple App store as closed beta. Only members of the team have uploaded videos to the app but anyone who wants to learn more about the app can download the app and sign up to have their name reserved for when it does fully launch.

Interestingly, an image of the retail box of the smartphone has also been shared by former OPPO VP Brian Shen. 

As for the device itself, the handset had previously appeared at AnTuTu. This listing also revealed that the device is going to be a flagship phone and will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC. Apart from this, the device is tipped to come with a massive 5000mAh battery with support for 125W fast-charging. It is also expected to have a 6.8-inch 160Hz OLED display, and speculations suggest we could also see a version with a 120Hz display. 

Other speculated specifications of the device include an in-display fingerprint sensor, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and Android 11 with Realme UI 2.0 overlaying it. Apart from this, the phone could also get a quad-camera setup with a 64MP primary camera. The smartphone is expected to have a punch-hole camera in the top left of the display. There is no information on the price of the smartphone or for the matter its India launch date. However, if previous Realme releases are anything to go by, we can expect it to launch in India soon after its international debut on March 4.

Vivo S9 teased ahead of March 3 launch, colour variants and 44MP rear camera confirmed

It is no secret that the Vivo S9 is scheduled to launch on March 3. And ahead of its launch, the company has teased the device revealing the rear panel design of the Vivo S9 arriving on March 3. A quick look at the teaser reveals that the smartphone is similar in design to the Vivo S7 5G and sports a triple camera setup. The company has also confirmed that the phone will bring with itself a 44-megapixel selfie shooter.

Interestingly, the teaser also reveals details about another device, the Vivo S9e. The poster confirms that the company will launch the Vivo S9e with a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The teaser, however, does not confirm the launch date of the phone but since it has been teased alongside the S9, it is quite possible that it may be launched alongside the debut with the vanilla S9 on March 3.

Apart from this, the teaser also reveals other details about the Vivo S9, including the fact that it will be available in two colors. However, we've also seen the Vivo S9 being listed on the company's official China website before which confirmed that there will also be a third white-colored variant as well.

It is interesting to note that Vivo hasn't revealed the front design of both phones, or for the matter other specs of the device. All this still remains under wraps. However, reports have suggested that the Vivo S9 will come with a wide-notch. It could be a similar display to the one seen on its predecessor Vivo S7 5G. The Vivo S9e is expected to get a slightly different display with reports suggesting a waterdrop notch screen for the device. However, the displays on both phones are expected to feature FHD+ AMOLED panels with 90Hz refresh rate support.

Other than this, the Vivo S9 5G is expected to house a Dimensity 1100 chipset under the hood. This could be paired with up to 12 GB of RAM, and a 4,000mAh battery. In comparison, the Vivo S9e may feature a Dimensity 820 SoC, 8 GB of RAM, and a 4,100mAh battery. For battery, both will support 33W fast charging.

Govt frames new rules for OTTs such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hotstar

The Government of India has announced plans for a new regulatory framework to govern OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hotstar. Under the new rules, these popular streaming services will face stricter rules over the content they can host on their platforms. The regulatory framework called Information Technology (Guidelines for Intermediaries and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 makes a number of suggestions, among which is a 3-tier content classification model for regulating OTTs.

Self-regulation for OTTs: How it will work

Under this, the streaming platforms will have to self-classify content under U (universal), 7+, 13+, 16+, and A (adult) categories. Apart from the classification of content, platforms will also be required to implement parental locks for content classified as U/1 13+ or higher. They will also have to put in place a reliable age verification mechanism for Adult rated content. 

The framework also suggests the setting up of a regulatory body for grievance redressal. This body, the government suggests, should be headed by a "retired Supreme Court, High Court Judge or a very eminent person in this category". Although this panel won't take any action, it will oversee the censoring of content available on web streaming platforms. 

The power to take down content will rest with the regulatory officer who will form the tip of this 3-tier system. This regulatory officer working on the suggestions of the panel mentioned above can order the taking down any show or movie streamed on a social media platform. For now, the government has announced a timeline for the implementation of this draft framework. However, considering the process has been set in motion, we can expect swift progress in the next few weeks. 

Further, the central government has also announced new rules to govern social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. The new rules will regulate social media content and most importantly require platforms to take unlawful content quicker. As per the new rules, the government will ask the platform to reveal the originator of a post or tweet and take the objectionable post down within 24-hours of the order. The government has also proposed voluntary verification of users and a compliance officer as well as grievance officer. Further, it has also asked the social media platforms to appoint a 24x7 point of contact.

Twitter will soon let you charge your followers for your tweets with Super Follows

Twitter has been dabbling with the idea of introducing a subscription model and a "tipping" option to have more meaningful revenue streams for its platform. This has been one area in which it has been lagging behind its competitors. Now, the company has confirmed that it is indeed working on some new products to fill this gap.

Super Follows

During Twitter's virtual Analyst Day, the company announced that it is bringing a new feature called 'Super Follows'. This is essentially a paid subscription model that charges members for exclusive content from accounts they follow.

With this feature, for instance, a user can pay a set amount of money to receive perks like exclusive tweets, subscribers-only newsletters, and more. Twitter gave an example of how an influencer can compile a bunch of tweets that would only be pushed out to their Super Followers.

It's a very good way to make for both veterans Twitter users with huge following and influence, as well as for Twitter. We can totally see this feature being used extensively by influencers to, say, give a sneak-peak to their followers of upcoming products. Twitter will most likely tie-up its other features like the new Twitter Spaces, etc. to this new model and allow people to make money off their content.

Communities

In addition to the 'Super Follows', Twitter also announced 'Communities', which is similar to Facebook Groups. With Communities, Twitter will allow its users to follow and engage with a particular topic more easily. If you want to be a part of a particular conversation like cats, social justice, etc. then this new feature will prove to be very useful. 

Twitter announces Communities, like Facebook Groups but on Twitter (they’ve started working on it in the web app since at least few weeks ago) https://t.co/5YBmEfgsUn pic.twitter.com/JlkrZNjLBo

— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) February 25, 2021

This feature will also easily tie into Super Follows and allow users to be a part of an exclusive influencer community. 

Twitter hasn't given us an exact timeline for the release of these new features just yet. But given how prompt they are with pushing out the new features like voice DMs to their users, we expect these new products to arrive sooner rather than later.

Geoff Keighleys Summer Game Fest Gears Up For Second Round

Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, the online digital, industry-wide summer celebration of video games is all set to return for 2021. The event made its initial debut last year, in response to the cancellation of major gaming events and conventions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

 

New year. New colors.

— Summer Game Fest (@summergamefest) February 8, 2021

 

The news comes from an official Summer Game Fest tweet, which simply announces a change in colour scheme for the new season. "New year. New colors.", it says. As it stands, there is no news on what events or showcases to expect this year. But what we do know is that the festival will be "more condensed" than the debut year, which ran for 4 long months.

 

Less than 1 month

— Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) February 8, 2021

 

A common criticism that gamers around the world brought up was the fact that the first iteration was drawn-out for way too long. And that it never felt like an actual convention. This also contributed to unwanted hype building, every week, from within the community. In response to a fan's question about this year's length, Geoff replied by saying that the entire SGF 2021 event will be packaged into a single month. Which is good, considering a lot of announcements last year also felt extremely jumbled. In a subsequent tweet, Geoff also stated that the debut year was "tough with COVID", which contributed to a bit of a disorganized venture.

The news about Summer Game Fest season 2 comes in the wake of reports that E3 2021 will be returning as an online digital event. And is currently set to take place between 15-17 June. Geoff Keighley, who quit E3 last year due to disagreements over direction will not be involved again, and will be fully focused on SGF 2021. You can read more on that here.

During the 4-month-long time span last year, Summer Game Fest brought with it a whole bunch of game-related content and world premieres. Some of the key highlights were the Unreal Engine 5 showcase, the PlayStation 5 reveal, and the much-awaited gameplay footage for The Last of Us Part 2, etc. This year's festival is still in its early stages of development, and will take quite some time before the new schedule and other details appear on their official website. Until then, we wait.

How to watch PS4, PS5 State of Play event live

Sony is holding a State of Play broadcast on Thursday, February 25 at 2:00 pm Pacific Time which translates to 3:30 AM Friday, February 26, India time. On the PlayStation Blog, Sid Shuman, Senior Director, SIE Content Communications, said, “Time for another State of Play! This Thursday, a State of Play broadcast will serve up new updates and deep dives for 10 games coming to PS4 and PS5, including new game announcements and updates on some of the third-party and indie titles you last saw in June’s PS5 showcase”. 

He goes on to say, “The show is clocking it at 30 minutes or so, give or take. Can’t wait to hear what you think! And a quick note: there won’t be PlayStation hardware or business-focused updates in this show. We’re focusing on great games set to come out in the months ahead”.

So, it is clear that we will not get any new information on the recently teased second-generation PSVR headset, nor will we hear numbers and statistics on how many PS5 units Sony has sold. This showcase will be about games and games only. As mentioned above, we will see ten games during the showcase, and since the broadcast will be 30 minutes, we can expect each game to have 2-4 minutes of screen time. 

What to expect from the PlayStation State of Play?

Sony has hinted that we will get updates on some party games shown off during the June event. So, we can expect to see some information on Kena: Bridge of Spirits which is slated to launch in March 2021. Hopefully, a release date? We could also get some more details on Returnal, which got a new trailer last night. Maybe see some more gameplay for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart?

LG opens its WebOS platform to other TV manufacturers, could give Android TV some serious competition

LG has announced that its WebOS platform will now be available on TVs that are not made by LG. The South Korean tech giant has announced that the WebOS TV platform ecosystem will be licensed to other brands. More than 20 TV manufacturers from around the world have “committed to the webOS partnership, including brands such as RCA, Ayonz and Konka with more partners expected to join in the future”. 

At CES 2021, LG unveiled WebOS 6, the newest version of its TV OS which will be available on LG’s 2021 TV lineup. 

Will LG WebOS 6 be licensed to OEMs?

According to the Verge, “the “powered by webOS TV” platform is based on webOS 5.0. So it’ll look just the same as LG TVs from the last several years”. While this is the same UI we have seen on TVs like the LG GX (review) and LG C9 (review), it is still a good and fluid UI for TVs. It has a card like layout which occupies the bottom of the screen giving you access to apps and services. 

LG’s WebOS offers access to a voice assistant and also supports LG’s Magic Remote which makes navigating the UI a breeze. The UI also has a home dashboard, letting you control smart home appliances from the comfort of the TV. You can also configure IFTTT devices to the home dashboard.  

In India, we have a lot of budget TVs dominated by Android TV UI. We have also seen some TVs like the Akai 43-inch TV (review) running on the Fire TV UI. Xiaomi offers customers PatchWall and Android TV UI. It will be interesting to see how LG’s WebOS competes with Android, especially in the budget segment, where we have seen Android TV lag on some TVs. While Android TVs do have the advantage of the app ecosystem, we may see more developers optimizing and porting their apps to WebOS to ensure a wider reach.

PS4 exclusive Days Gone remastered for PS5, now coming to PC

Ever wanted to play an exclusive PlayStation game but don’t own a PS4 or PS5? Well, there’s good news for you as a whole slate of PlayStation games are heading to the PC. This news comes after a GQ interview with SIEA (Sony Interactive Entertainment America) CEO, Jim Ryan where he revealed that some PlayStation exclusives are coming to the PC. These include the zombie/open world game Days Gone (review). We have already got Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding (review) on the PC, but it looks like Sony is finally embracing other gaming platforms. The developers of Days Gone, Bend Studios also posted a tweet reacting to the announcement.

Surprise. #DaysGone comes to PC this spring. Stay tuned for more details. pic.twitter.com/vcSYSKgOtn

— Bend Studio #DaysGone (@BendStudio) February 23, 2021 PlayStation exclusive Days Gone will finally come to PC

There were already rumours floating around that a few PlayStation exclusives were making their way to the PC. On a more personal level, we really hope that Bloodborne comes to the PC in glorious 60 fps. The game is currently available on the PS4 and can be played on the PS5 via backwards compatibility. It has not received any next-gen upgrades and still plays at 30fps. We’re hoping that it comes to the PC, so we can finally explore Yharnam in sweet, sweet 4K 60 fps. Also, can you imagine God of War 2018 on a PC? Be still our beating hearts. Other games that could make their way to the PC include the Persona series, the older God of War games and much more. We will only find out more in the coming months.

All these games are actually playable on the PS5 as well, via backwards compatibility. Most of these PS4 games will also come with a next-gen upgrade, giving players access to higher frame rates and resolutions. If you did not manage to get a PS5 when it launched in India, here is when the PS5 could be restocked in India. You can also check out our review of the console in the video below.

Samsung unveils new 50MP ISOCELL GN2 sensor with true-to-life autofocusing

South Korean tech giant, Samsung, has launched the new ISOCELL GN2. The new 50MP imaging sensor offers large 1.4-micrometer (μm)-sized pixels. Developed by its System LSI Business, this new sensor promises more true-to-life autofocus function for performance that is similar to how the human eye operates. Further, with enhancements over its predecessor, the ISOCELL GN1, the GN2 offers up to 100MP imaging, improved auto-focusing through Dual Pixel Pro technology, staggered HDR, and overall better results in multiple lighting conditions through Smart ISO Pro.    “ISOCELL image sensors and its technologies have made vast improvements to deliver the quality and performance one would expect from top-tier prograde cameras,” said Duckhyun Chang, executive vice president of sensor business at Samsung Electronics. “Our new ISOCELL GN2 features Dual Pixel Pro, an innovative all-direction auto-focusing solution that elevates the agility to capture moments as they unfold. Adding on Smart ISO Pro and a variety of advanced pixel technologies, pictures from GN2 are more true-to-life than ever.”

Samsung GN2: What makes it special?

As Samsung explains, the ISOCELL GN2 is Samsung’s first image sensor to offer Dual Pixel Pro technology. It is touted to be the company’s most advanced phase-detection auto-focus solution yet. Among the many benefits of using this new technology are the improved low-light focusing and tracking of moving objects. 

The new sensor also promises improved performance in mixed-light environments, such as sunsets or indoors with daylight coming through a window. For these, the new ISOCELL GN2 increases its dynamic range with a staggered-HDR feature that "uses rolling shutters over the same pixel arrays to capture multiple frames in short, middle, and long exposures." Further, staggered-HDR also promises to reduce energy consumption by up to 24-percent when compared to the predecessor’s real-time HDR mode. 

As mentioned above, the ISOCELL GN2 promises detailed photographs in regular settings. However, Samsung claims that in low-lit environments such as indoors, the sensor can "simulate a larger 2.8μm-pixel with four-pixel-binning technology to absorb more light, delivering brighter and sharper images." The new GN2 also offers an option to take pictures higher than the available 50MP resolutions through a special mode to produce a single ultra-high 100Mp resolution photograph.
