“The S11 camera will bring something that has never been seen before.”
S11? What?
It’s about the next Samsung phone.
He means the S10+ 5G right? DxOMark number 1 for video.
How do you know it’s a he?
I … don’t?
These are the words of Ice universe.
That sounds like a warehouse store chain where you can buy any kind of ice imaginable.
What? Ice universe is a popular Samsung insider.
I was joking. Where’s your sense of humour?
Ice says, “Samsung fans, if you care about the camera, please skip Note10”.
Fo your ears only, I guess.
No, look…
The S11 camera will bring something that has never been seen before. Samsung fans, if you care about the camera, please skip Note10

Oh yeah. Anything revealing in the comments?
Cheese Magnet suggests liquid lenses.
What the holy flippy screen is a liquid lens.
Shall I Google it?
Yep.
Right… uh…
“Liquid lenses allow imaging systems to overcome Depth of Field (DOF) limitations by allowing the focus to be electronically adjusted without requiring any mechanical movement.”
Sweet. Oh, Cheese Magnet says, “with liquid lens you can change focal lengths without mechanical parts. For instance, you could have optical zoom and wide angle all on one sensor.”
No idea.
Sounds good though.
Well, don’t you think Cheese Magnet just wants an excuse to show off his liquid lens knowledge?
I guess. Any other interesting comments?
They just seem to be arguing over Huawei vs Samsung.
People still argue about that?
Apparently.
Huawei s–
–I know.
Well, check out his other tweets?
Who?
Ice whatsit.
How do you know it–
–Sorry! Sorry! Ice universe.
Check this out…
Someone asked about the Galaxy S11, there are four things that can be confirmed:
1. Codename “Picasso”
2. The camera has a substantial upgrade
3.Based on Android Q One UI 2.x
4.Hole in display is smaller than Note10
Other than that, it is unknown.— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) July 29, 2019
Ohh, intriguing.
Codename “Picasso”.
Yeah, what could that mean?
A Cubist smartphone?
Lol, someone suggests the hole will be in the middle.
Lol.
Oh look, apparently they think there will be no headphone jack.
Like iPhone. That sucks. We can’t be smug anymore about not having to use an adapter for mics.
Sucks. That reminds me. I wanted to ask you: what are the best microphones for smartphone filmmaking?
Have you seen this website?
No?
They are great for listing and reviewing all the kit you need. You should subscribe to their email. Just once a week, no spam or anything.
Sweet. You got a link to that?
Well, you can find it via the previous link.
I know but…
Oh, jeez. Ok, well here:
