Best Snapdragon 845 smartphones

The Snapdragon 845 is the SoC to beat in 2018. Not only is it extremely fast, Qualcomm’s chip also comes paired with an impressive GPU, the Adreno 630.

The new Snapdragon 845 is a major step forward from its predecessor the Snapdragon 835. Our very own Gary Sims recently put the 845 through its paces and found gains all over the place. One of the more exciting improvements was a gain of 20-40 percent in GPU performance. That increase in performance will keep FPS smooth as more demanding games come to the mobile space, like PUBG Mobile and (eventually) Fortnite.

So what are the best Snapdragon 845 phones out there? Good question.

Released phones

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

The latest phone in the Galaxy Note series has some extremely high-end hardware inside. Even if you get the lowest priced model, you still get a phone with a 6.4-inch display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of onboard storage, a microSD slot for even more storage, and a big 4,000mAh battery that should last you at least a day, or perhaps more, on a full charge. You can even get a model with 8GB of RAM and a massive 512GB of storage.

The S-Pen in the Note 9 has also been revamped, adding Bluetooth LE support. That allows you to use it as a remote controller to open apps, control the camera and more. The Note 9 can also work in a PC desktop mode, thanks to Samsung’s newest version of its DeX technology. You only need to connect the phone to a monitor or TV with a USB-C to HDMI adapter and cable. All of this comes at a cost; you will have to pay $999 to get the 6GB/128GB model and $1,249 for the 8GB/512GB model.

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL

The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are here. While they may not rival the Galaxy Note 9 in terms of specs, these phones improve on the very aspect that made the Pixel 2 so great — the camera.

They still sport the same single rear cameras as the Pixel 2, but there are a ton of camera software improvements here. Top Shot mode will take multiple pictures of your subject and recommend the best one. Night Sight will also arrive for the phones soon, which is supposed to bring next-level low-light photography thanks to computational photography. Finally, there’s a mode called Motion Auto Focus that lets the Pixel 3 focus on a subject in a video, no matter how much they move around.

They both have 18:9 screens (well, 18.5:9 for the XL), yet they still look very different from one another. The Pixel 3 has a 5.5-inch Full HD+ screen that makes it look like a smaller Pixel 2 XL, while the Pixel 3 XL has a big ol’ notch at the top of its screen. Both phones also come with Qi wireless charging support, no headphone jack (womp womp), and still manage to squeeze in front-facing speakers.

The Pixel 3 could be considered the Android iPhone. But is there anything wrong with that?

OnePlus 6T

Despite being almost half the price of the competition, the OnePlus 6T is in the running for phone of the year.

The 6T doesn’t provide the ultra-luxurious experience you’ll get with the Galaxy Note 9 or iPhone Xs, but it does provide 90 percent of what those phones offer for about $550. You get the most top-of-the-line specs out there, fantastic build quality, and decent cameras. The OnePlus 6T is also the first smartphone in the U.S. to include an in-display fingerprint sensor.

If you happen to hate notches, the 6T is probably the closest you’ll get to a notch-less display without going the Samsung route. OnePlus included super sexy waterdrop notch on the 6T that makes it looks like Google didn’t even try with the Pixel 3 XL.

If you’re trying to boycott all of the $1,000 phones out there, or just want a solid smartphone that works well, buy the OnePlus 6T. We don’t think you’ll regret it.

HTC U12 Plus

HTC’s latest flagship, the U12 Plus (there is no U12, by the way) includes a lot of we loved about the HTC U11 Plus but with a few obvious upgrades. Anyone who has used the HTC U11 or U11 Plus will find the latest flagship very familiar. HTC continues its minimalist Liquid Surface design language, giving us a beautiful glass design with IP68 water resistance. The biggest design change can be found in the buttons. Instead of physical keys, they are now pressure-sensitive. While these buttons may not provide a physical click, they do provide haptic feedback to let you know they’ve been triggered.

The HTC U12 Plus offers the latest Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 845. The handset offers 6GB RAM and either 64 or 128GB of internal storage, with microSD expansion. There’s also a big 6-inch Super LCD 6 panel with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,140. The battery on the HTC U12 Plus is a bit smaller, going down to 3,500mAh. BoomSound is back for great audio support but there’s no headphone jack for the U12 Plus

The HTC U12 Plus comes in both translucent blue and ceramic black colors for $799. This base model comes with 64GB of storage. The beefier 128GB model comes in just translucent blue, and is priced at $849.

Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus

Depending on where you are in the world the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus may have a Snapdragon 845. Those in North & Latin Americas, China, Japan will get the Snapdragon 845 because of all the CDMA patents Qualcomm has.

Those looking to buy the phone elsewhere, like in Europe, South Korea, or India, will find Samsung LSI’s Exynos 9810 SoC inside. Generally, benchmarks show the 845 is the one you want. It’s faster in both CPU and GPU benchmarks, with better energy efficiency as well. The Exynos line is slowly catching up to the Snapdragon line, which is encouraging for Samsung, but still a way behind.

The S9 with the 845 leads all benchmarks. It’s the one you’ll want to spend your money on if you’re going for the top of the line.

Buy Galaxy S9/S9 Plus at Amazon

LG G7 ThinQ/G7 Plus ThinQ

The LG G7 ThinQ offers LG flagship specs, boasting the Snapdragon 845, 4 or 6GB of RAM, expandable memory, great new audio features, and an all-around better camera over the G6. Our LG G7 review pointed out that LG deserves more attention for their high-quality phones, but wanted more battery life and wasn’t sure about some of the notch gimmicks, but the phone was no slouch. LG G7 pricing is a little hard to figure out depending on where you live, but the phone will retail in South Korea for 899,800 won (~$833), while the G7 ThinQ Plus will cost 973,500 won (~$900), and T-Mobile just release that they’ll sell it for $750 outright. The phone is coming to most of the carriers so there may be some further deals to explore there if you’re keen.

Sony Xperia XZ2, XZ2 Compact and XZ2 Premium

Sony didn’t mess about with its latest devices when they dropped at MWC 2018. The Sony Xperia XZ2 and smaller Xperia XZ2 Compact both come with the Snapdragon 845. With a fresh water-inspired design, 4GB of RAM, expandable memory on top of 64GB of internal storage, and an 18:9 screen, it’s a top-end phone. XZ2 will be available to those in the U.S. as soon as April. We haven’t had a chance for a full review yet, but our initial XZ2 hands-on was positive for Sony fans.

There’s also a new Xperia XZ2 Premium heading to market, offering a dual-camera setup for the first time from Sony, along with a Bokeh mode.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 flagship was given an iterative improvement in March, upgrading the Mix 2S with a Snapdragon 845 and a major camera update. Our review of the Mi Mix 2S praised its rear camera sensors. The major limitation of the Xiaomi line is availability — you can only get it in China and other parts of Asia for the price of3,299 yuan (~$520), which is a very reasonable price for this phone.

Asus ZenFone 5Z

Asus caught some flack when it unveiled the first in a series of Android phones with a notch. Despite that, the 6.2-inch Asus ZenFone 5Z is packed with value, with a Snapdragon 845, 6GB RAM, 64GB of storage, dual-SIM support, and a 3,300 mAh battery. It’s priced at $499, which sets this up as a solid competitor for companies like OnePlus and Honor. The Asus ZenFone 5Z is available now, unlocked, via Amazon.

Xiaomi Black Shark Gaming Phone

Xiaomi Gaming

Black Shark is a Xiaomi company which announced a brand-new gaming-focused phone, complete with a joystick controller attachment. It’s a 6-inch device with a 2.5D, 2160 x 1080 resolution display, the Snapdragon 845 chipset, up to 8GB of RAM, and up to 128GB storage. Unfortunately, this phone is only available in China, where the price is about $479 for the version with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, while the $559 version includes 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Xiaomi Pocophone F1

The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 may be the biggest value ever for a smartphone. It has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor inside, along with a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display, and a large 4,000mAh battery. You can get this phone with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage in India for the price of just 21,000 rupees, or about $300. Yes, $300 with a phone with the current leader in mobile processors. You can also get the phone in other memory and storage configurations, all the way up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for a still outstanding price of 30,000 rupees (~$430) in India. The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 will be sold in Asia, parts of Europe, the Middle East and parts of South America, but there are unfortunately no plans to sell it in the US.

Oppo Find X

The Oppo Find X is the current winner for a phone with the best body-to-screen ratio (93 percent( with its large 6.42-inch display. It has very little bezel space, thanks to the fact that both the front and rear cameras are hidden inside the phone, and rise up from the top when needed via a mechanical sliding part. In addition to the Snapdragon 845, the Oppo Find X has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s available now in India for the price of ₹59,990 ($875). A special Lamborghini branded addition for the phone, with 512GB of RAM and support for Oppo’s SuperVOOC fast charging battery tech, will launch in Europe for the price of 1,699 euros. The phone won’t be launched in the US.

Vivo Nex

Here’s another phone with a high body-to-screen ratio. The Vivo Nex has a massive 6.59-inch Super AMOLED panel that takes up 91.24 percent of the front display. The front-facing camera pops up when needed for selfie pictures on top of the phone. In addition, this phone has an in-display fingerprint sensor, and the display also doubles as the phone’s external audio source, replacing the standard speaker. All of this, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, is available now in China, and also in India for ₹44,990 ($652). Once again, there are no plans to release the Vivo Nex in the US.

Buy Vivo Nex on Amazon India

Razer Phone 2

Razer got started as a hardcore gaming accessory and hardware company for PCs and consoles. It started this current gaming smartphone trend in 2017 with the launch of the first Razer Phone. Now the company has just launched its successor, the Razer Phone 2, which by all accounts improves on the original in nearly every way.

Like the first Razer Phone, the Razer Phone 2 has 8GB of RAM and a big 5.7-inch display with a 120Ghz refresh rate. Combined with Ultra Motion, which syncs up the phone’s GPU with the high refresh rate, these features allow games made for the phone to have silky smooth framerates with little to no lag or screen tearing. In addition, the screen on the Razer Phone 2 is 50 percent brighter than the first Razer Phone.

Read Next: Hands on with the Asus ROG

The phone has some interesting gaming features. It has three AirTrigger ultrasonic touch sensors to serve as shoulder triggers when holding the phone in landscape. In addition to its USB Type-C port on the bottom, the Asus ROG phone has an extra USB Type-C port on the side, so you can connect the phone up to an optional WiGig gaming dock. Finally, there’s an X Mode, activated by squeezing the sides of the ROG Phone, to increase the hardware performance of the phone.

Asus

Along with the ROG Phone, Asus plans to sell a number of optional accessories made just for this device. The previously mentioned WiGig dock can connect the phone to an external display, or a mouse and keyboard to play games or do other things like on a PC. The AeroActive Cooler will keep the phone nice and cool during long gaming sessions. Asus will also sell a third-party controller for the phone made by GameVice to add analog sticks, shoulder buttons, and other keys on each side of the ROG Phone.

Finally, Asus will sell the TwinView handheld dock, adding a secondary display to let you either play a game with more screen or launch a second app to chat with friends while playing a game. The TwinView will also come with its own 6,000mAh battery.

The Asus ROG Phone in its 128GB version is for sale now on Amazon, and also via Microsoft’s online store, priced at $899. The 512GB version will go on sale in November for $1,099. The phone will ship with the AeroActive Cooler accessory for free. The other accessories will go on sale later this year.

Sony Xperia XZ3

The Sony Xperia XZ3 is a classic example of Sony’s commitment to offering a phone with all the latest features. The phone launched in early October with Android 9 Pie installed, making it the first phone with Pie out of the box, even ahead of Google’s Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. The Xperia XZ3 has a 6-inch Quad HD OLED display with an 18:9 screen ratio and smaller bezels, at least compared to older Xperia phones.

Inside, it has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, along with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of onboard storage. It just has one rear camera sensor, but with a solid 19MP camera it should be an excellent snapper for most folks. It even includes a super slow-mo feature for video clips in 1080p resolution. There’s also a 13MP front-facing camera on board. You can double tap the edges of the phone’s screen to launch a feature called SideSense. Basically, it shows you a small app drawer with the apps that the phone’s machine learning believes you will want to use the most, which can be a handy feature.

All of this comes in a pretty expensive package. The Sony Xperia XZ3 costs $899.99 on Amazon, with your choice of three colors (black, forest green, and white silver). Keep in mind the phone will only work on GSM wireless carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile.

LG V40 ThinQ

The V40 is LG’s latest and greatest smartphone from the OEM. Its biggest feature is the triple camera setup on the back with a standard 12MP lens, a 16MP wide-angle lens, and a 12MP telephoto lens. The flagship also sports two cameras on the front, allowing you to add the bokeh effect to selfies.

In addition to being camera-focused, the device was also designed for music lovers. Not only does it have a headphone jack, which is slowly becoming a thing of the past, it also has a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC for improved audio quality.

The V40 is a large device, sporting a 6.4-inch QHD+ display with a notch. Like many other 2018 flagships, it packs a Snapdragon 845 and 6GB of RAM under the hood. The battery comes in at 3,300mAh, making it quite a bit smaller than the ones of the Galaxy Note 9 and Huawei P20 Pro — both have a 4,000mAh battery. The phone is up for pre-order in the U.S. and will set you back $950.

Huawei P20 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus - Camera Review! | The Tech Chap

New Huawei Smartphone Outguns Galaxy S9, iPhone X

The smartphone camera world looks set to become very exciting later this month. Previous leaks have hinted strongly that Chinese manufacturer, Huawei, could be about to launch a smartphone with a class-leading triple-camera.

Now leaks on Weibo, combined with less-than-subtle hints coming directly from the manufacturer itself, all-but confirm the March 27th launch of the triple-lensed P20 as Huawei’s forthcoming flagship handset.

At the end of February, Huawei started posting a series of teaser videos on Instagram, promoting the P20 with the not-so-subtle tagline “See mooore with AI”, hinting strongly at a triple-camera setup backed up with onboard AI processing. The videos all feature a design made up of three tell-tale circles, echoing the alternative spelling ‘mooore’ in the tagline.

Huawei

Huawei teases the P20 camera on Instagram

If these teasers weren’t confirmation enough, a new leak on Weibo, unearthed by Telefoon Abonnement, provides official-looking images of the front and rear of the P20, showing a Leica-branded triple-lens camera setup on the rear and an iPhone X-style camera notch on the front. The rear camera setup appears to consist of a dual-camera module with a third single-lens module installed alongside it, next to twin flash components.

A triple-camera setup, like a triple-blade razor, may at first appear gimmicky but offers tangible benefits when it comes to light-capturing capabilities and zoom options.

More recent teasers on Instagram indicate how Huawei hopes to challenge the capabilities of DSLR cameras, with one in particular depicting of a pair of DSLR lenses, one of which appears to be telephoto and the other ultra-wide-angle.

Taking to Twitter, Huawei states ‘We’ve gone the extra distance so you can take the shortcut. All the lenses you need, in one.’

If Huawei can pull this off, we should expect to see the P20 near the top of DxOMark’s mobile charts soon, as the tests lean heavily towards cameras able to mimic the zoom and portrait capabilities of DSLRs.

According to serial leaker Evan Blass, the P20 will come in three variants: the P20, P20 Lite and P20 Pro, with the Pro version being the only model to feature the new triple-camera.

Expect to pay a significant premium for the triple-camera model as another leaker, Roland Quandt, tweets European prices of €369 for the P20 Lite and €679 for the standard model, with the P20 Pro coming in at €899.

Despite its innovative technologies, Huawei will have a difficult time selling the P20 in the USA where all major carriers have dropped the company’s phones in response to political pressures and distrust over its Chinese ownership.

All will be revealed on March 27th, but for now, keep an eye on Huawei's P20 mini site for the latest updates.

On the exterior, however, small is likely to alter - the Galaxy S9 is expected to be created of metal and glass curving around the edges, with minimum bezels surrounding its Infinity display. The digital digital camera is rumored to remain a single module, as a dual-digital digital camera establishedup could appear only in the Galaxy S9+. Samsung Galaxy S9 Display and Hardware The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are outfitted with 5.8" and a 6.2" displays respectively - same sizes as final year. The tech hasn't alterd possibly - each are vibrant HDR-ready, Super AMOLED panels with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels. Nevertheless Samsung says it's using a new type of coating on the glass on the front, so the new displays may look somewhat more powerful and punchy to the naked eye, thanks to even deeper blacks, but the distinction shouldn't be too big. #SamsungGalaxyS9 #Samsung #GalaxyS9 Huawei P20 Pro The New Huawei P20 Pro has a huge screen that occupies most of its front, with a notch at the top housing the earpiece and front-facing camera. Huawei P20 Pro Camera The triple camera arrangement is comprised of a massive, 40MP camera for regular shots, a 3X zoom telephoto cam, and a monochrome sensor enabling bokeh effects. On the inside is a powerful Kirin 970 chip, along with plenty of memory and a huge battery. Design Huawei P20 Pro the new Twilight color is simply stunning – offering a gradient of colors that beautifully shimmer from a cool blue at one end, to a warm red tone at the other. If there's a new trendy color scheme to copy, this is absolutely it. Sure, it's highly reflective and can become a magnet for fingerprints, but when it's clean and clear, boy is it an attention grabber. Display Huawei P20 Pro the P20 Pro sizes up with a larger 6.1-inch OLED Display with a resolution of 2240 x 1080 pixels. Technically, they sport 18.7:9 screen aspect ratios, giving them that all-screen appearance. However, there is a notch above the displays, which houses both the earpiece and front-facing 24MP cameras. Huawei P20 Pro Price Huawei P20 Pro will cost around $1000.

13 tecnologías que llegaron para no quedarse en Android: de los móviles modulares al sonido piezo-eléctrico

La historia del smartphone es, como prácticamente cualquier otra historia de aprendizaje, el cúmulo de una serie de aciertos y errores que han derivado en la tecnología que disfrutamos en la actualidad. Resulta curioso aun sabiendo cómo funcionan las cosas el haber visto tecnologías volátiles, características que se prometían como grandes avances y que pocas generaciones posteriores a su anuncio acabaron despareciendo.

Vamos a dar un pequeño repaso por todas esas tecnologías que vinieron para no quedarse, así como a explicar en qué han derivado (en los casos en los que han llegado a derivar en algo) y cómo han influido en el desarrollo de las tecnologías actuales.

Gestos por aire

La historia de los gestos por aire en Android es un cuento de idas y venidas. Una de las marcas que más importancia le dio fue Samsung, quien aprovechó la presentación del Samsung Galaxy S4 para mostrar cómo era posible manejar el móvil "sin manos". La función no tuvo mucho éxito y la compañía no volvió prácticamente a mencionarla en siguientes presentaciones. De hecho, ya hace tiempo que los móviles de Samsung no incluyen esta tecnología. Un minuto de silencio por ellas llamadas que pudieron haberse colgado con un deslizamiento de la mano.

Tan solo LG y Google han querido darle una oportunidad a esta tecnología años después. La propia Samsung, impulsora de esta tecnología, renunció a ella años atrás

Pese a ser una tecnología de poco calado, fabricantes como LG han implementado algo similar, AirMotion. Se trata de un sistema de control por gestos "en aire" similar a lo que propuso Samsung, pero está limitado a unos pocos modelos de la compañía, por lo que es una tecnología que viene y va. Curiosamente, Google también ha apostado por esta tecnología en su Pixel 4, que permite colgar llamadas, silenciar alarmas y demás mediante gestos por aire. Como decíamos, una historia de idas y venidas para una tecnología que no ha logrado convertirse en estándar: los principales creadores de la misma la han desechado, mientras otros fabricantes intentan revivirla.

"Sensor" de ritmo cardíaco

El sensor de ritmo cardíaco fue otra de esas tecnologías volátiles que prometían bastante y acabaron en el olvido. Esta opción estaba ya disponible en el HTC Magic, capaz de medir el ritmo cardíaco mediante el flash de la cámara. Posteriormente, firmas como Samsung llegaron a implementarlo en topes de gama como el Galaxy S5. No se ha vuelto a saber de esta tecnología más allá de unas cuantas aplicaciones en Play Store que prometen realizar este cometido. ¿Alguien la echa de menos?

Materiales autorreparables

Otra de las tecnologías prometedoras que acabaron en el olvido fue la trasera "autorreparable" del LG G Flex. La compañía prometía que el móvil era capaz de repararse solo, haciendo que los arañazos despareciesen de forma automática. Esta tecnología solo se empleó en los LG G Flex y LG G Flex 2, quedando en el olvido en el resto de modelos y no volviendo a saber nada de ella.

Siempre nos quedará ponerle una funda al móvil ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Móviles modulares

Durante unos años un buen número de geeks soñábamos con el tema de los móviles modulares. LG lo intentó con un LG G5 que permitía tanto cambiar la batería de forma sencilla sin retirar la tapa. Este era de los pocos módulos "de uso cotidiano", ya que el resto eran una cara cámara 360º, gafas de realidad virtual, un módulo HiFiy poco más, por lo que el sistema no funcionó.

Google nos hizo soñar con Project Ara. Un móvil de gama alta con módulos intercambiables que llegaría... en algún momento. Aún sigue luciendo espectacular años después

La cosa no quedaba aquí, ya que Google estuvo durante años anunciando su móvil modular, el cual no llegó nunca a materializarse. Project ARA tenía una pinta increíble, planteándose como una propuesta de gama alta a la cual le podríamos cambiar los módulos de RAM, baería e incluso pantalla y cámara. Toda una fantasía para mantener el móvil siempre actualizado, que, por desgracia, no llegó a la vida.

Smart Lock

"Es que el reconocimiento facial ya estaba en Android". Sí, pero a medias. Smart Lock llegó en 2015 como una de las novedades de Lollipop. Desde un principio Smart Lock estuvo bastante oculto en los ajustes y cuando íbamos a activarlo se nos mandaba un aviso diciendo que no era un método seguro. En siguientes versiones de Android se fue escondiendo cada vez más hasta llegar hasta su punto actual, el destierro.

Smart Lock ha servido como base para buena parte de los sistemas de reconocimiento facial que hay actualmente en Android

El lado bueno de Smart Lock es que sirvió para que los fabricantes implementasen sus sistemas de desbloqueo facial. Basándose en esta tecnología pero mejorando mediante su propio software, los fabricantes han creado diversas formas de desbloquear el teléfono bastando con solo una cámara para realizar este proceso.

Sistemas de reconocimiento 3D en Android

Sistema de reconocimiento facial del Xiaomi Mi 8 vs Face ID en iPhone X.

Smart Lock quedó en el olvido en pos de los sistemas de reconocimiento mediante cámara pero, ¿qué pasa con los sistemas de reconocimiento facial avanzado? Apple fue pionera aquí con Face ID, un sistema de reconocimiento facial compuesto de múltiples elementos y en conjunción con medidas adicionales de seguridad vía software. Huawei, Xiaomi y OPPO trataron de emular este sistema en sus respectivos Mi 8, Mate 20 Pro y OPPO Find X, creando dos de los mejores sistemas de reconocimiento facial que ha habido en Android.

Pese al buen funcionamiento de los mismos (aunque seguían por debajo de Face ID), esta tecnología se suma a la lista de las que llegaron para no quedarse. Huawei es la única compañía que apuesta por el reconocimiento 3D, pero tan solo para los Mate 30, la familia P40 apuesta tan solo por un sensor infrarrojo. Respecto a Xiaomi y OPPO, no volvieron a implementar este tipo de sistemas.

Doble apertura

La apertura dual llegó a los móviles de Samsung a partir del Galaxy S9, aunque esta tecnología tan solo duró dos años. El concepto era interesante ya que, sobre el papel, el móvil era capaz de variar la apertura entre f/1.5 o f/2.4 según las condiciones de luz. La realidad fue que esto no funcionó como se esperaba, por lo que no aportó el salto ni la mejora en fotografía que se pudiera esperar al abrir tanto la lente.

Por suerte, Samsung ha apostado por sensores de gran tamaño para obtener más luz a base de potencia bruta. La doble apertura estaba bien sobre el papel, no tanto en la práctica

La solución a Samsung para captar más luz ha sido apostar por la potencia bruta: el aumento del tamaño del sensor. Esta solución parece haber funcionado mejor tanto en los S20 como en el S20 Ultra, que montan sensores de mayor tamaño respecto a generaciones anteriores.

El sonido piezo-eléctrico

Puede que no te suene esto del sonido piezo-eléctrico, pero seguro que te acuerdas del Xiaomi Mi Mix, el móvil que permitió cambiar el diseño actual de los teléfonos Android (el resumen de esta anécdota es que se aceptan formatos de más de 16:9 gracias a que Xiaomi convenció a Google). Cantilever piezoelectric ceramic acoustic technology, este era el nombre de la tecnología de audio que incorporaba el Mi Mix de Xiaomi.

El sistema del Mi Mix contaba con un DAC, una pieza que encontramos en prácticamente todos los smartphones y que se encarga de convertir el audio digital en analógico, que a su vez transmitía ese sonido a una pieza cerámica piezoeléctrica. Esta pieza era la fundamental ya que era la encargada de convertir esa energía eléctrica que llega desde el DAC en energía mecánica. En otras palabras, el sonido del Xiaomi Mi Mix llegaba sin altavoz, toda una revolución teniendo en cuenta que hablamos de un móvil de 2016.

Esta tecnología, aunque interesante, se suma a la lista, ya que solo duró un año. En la siguiente generación de Mi Mix el audio pasó a transmitirse a través de la pantalla mediante un solenoide que la hacía vibrar para transmitir el sonido. Tecnologías llamativas que no han calado en el mercado, pero que nos muestran hasta que punto podemos llegar para evitar el altavoz en un teléfono.

Lentes monocromo para mayor contraste

Huawei apostó bastante fuerte por el sensor monocromo, aunque esta solución tan solo duró dos años. Llegó junto al Huawei P9 y se postulaba como una tecnología para recoger más información, mejorar el contraste y nitidez, ofrecer un modo blanco y negro "puro", etc. La práctica no mostró que este doble sensor (cámara principal + cámara monocromática) ofreciese resultados superiores a los de la competencia y, con la llegada del Huawei P20 y P20 Pro, no volvimos a saber nada sobre esta tecnología.

A día de hoy algún que otro fabricante incorpora sensores monocromo de baja resolución para ofrecer filtros personalizados, pero esto queda bastante lejos del concepto de hacer del sensor monocromo un gran protagonista en los resultados finales de la fotografía.

Modo Instagram

Una de las tecnologías más interesantes que presentó Samsung con los Galaxy S10 fue el modo Instagram. Con este se intentaba paliar la gran diferencia que hay al subir fotos y vídeos en Android respecto a iOS, en colaboración directa con Facebook. Sin razones aparentes, los Samsung Galaxy S20 ya no cuentan con este modo.

Pantallas deslizantes

La moda de las pantallas deslizantes también es curiosa. Algunos fabricantes se sumaron a ella como, por ejemplo, Honor con un Magic 2 que nunca pisó España. Después de este modelo, no se volvió tampoco a ver un mecanismo así en la compañía. El Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 acabó con la tradición de los dos modelos anteriores y también apostó por este mecanismo. Para mala suerte de los fanáticos de esta familia, Xiaomi ya confirmó que no hay más Mi Mix en marcha, ya que ahora la familia Alpha ocupa este puesto.

El último modelo en apostar por esta tecnología ha sido el Samsung Galaxy A90 5G, el único miembro de su familia con pantalla deslizante. Se trata de una forma curiosa de evitar el notch que, si bien no ha logrado convertirse en estándar, quedará en el recuerdo de muchos.

Cámaras mecánicas

Aparte de mecanismos deslizables, en la lista de soluciones algo rocambolescas para evitar el notch encontramos las cámaras mecánicas. OPPO fue una de las marcas pioneras aquí con el OPPO Find X, un terminal con una cámara deslizable que se activaba mediante un mecanismo automático. La cámara estaba dentro del cuerpo del terminal, lo que permitía un buen aprovechamiento frontal. OPPO siguió años después con esta tradición con los OPPO Reno, los móviles con "aleta de tiburón". No nos engañemos, era algo molón y curioso, pero no era el método más rápido ni para desbloquear ni para hacernos un selfie. A partir del OPPO Reno 3 la compañía dijo adiós a estos mecanismos.

La cámara pop-up ha durado tan solo un año, los agujeros en pantalla han llegado como un reemplazado bastante más rentable

2019 fue también el año de las cámaras pop-up, móviles tan populares como el Xiaomi Mi 9T o el OnePlus 7 Pro apostaron por estos mecanismos para lograr buenos aprovechamientos de pantalla y evitar el notch. Esta tecnología se ha perdido en lo que llevamos de 2020, siendo sustituida por el (mucho más barato) agujero en pantalla. De nuevo, un minuto de silencio por esas cámaras que emergían del cuerpo del terminal iluminándose y haciendo un ruido muy asiático (desactivable, por suerte).

¿Qué está pasando con el teleobjetivo?

Muchas cámaras pero ningún teleobjetivo. Sustituirlo por un sensor macro y otro de profundidad empieza a ser práctica habitual.

Tranquilo, el teleobjetivo no está muriendo, al menos en la gama alta premium. Sin embargo, está siendo reemplazado por sensores de dudosa utilidad como son los sensores macro y sensores de profundidad. Móviles con un precio de partida alto como el Xiaomi Mi 10 o el OnePlus 8 han renunciado al teleobjetivo que vimos las generaciones pasadas a favor de este tipo de sensores secundarios. Del mismo modo en la gama media se está democratizando la cámara cuádruple con la siguiente combinación.

Sensor principal de muchos megapíxeles con Pixel Binning

Gran angular de 8 MP

Macro de 2 MP

Profundidad de 2 MP

Como siempre, bienvenida sea la versatilidad, aunque perder el teleobjetivo en modelos de gama media-alta no es la mejor forma, en nuestra opinión, de mejorar el apartado fotográfico. Por suerte en la gama más alta sigue la guerra por el zoom, con fabricantes como Samsung o Huawei apostando por teleobjetivos de varios aumentos.
