DxOMark recently unveiled the DXOMARK Display Score, which will be used to determine which smartphone has the best display. With that being said, DXOMARK has determined that the top 3 smartphones with the best displays go to the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra, Galaxy S20 Ultra, as well as the OnePlus 8 Pro which scored 89, 87, and 88 points respectively.

Last week, Samsung have launched 5 different gadgets at the Unpacked event. The gadgets include the Galaxy Note20 series, Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Watch3, Galaxy Tab S7, and Galaxy Fold 2. On top of that, there are also a few nice colour options on the Galaxy Note20 series.

IceUniverse has recently tweeted on his Twitter account stating that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, is expected to come equipped with up to 3 variable aperture modes such as f/1.5, f/1.8, and f/2.4. To the uninitiated, a lower value f-number will allow more light into the sensor, providing a brighter image while resulting in shallower focus which blurs out the background of the subject. A higher f-number value, on the other hand, allows less light into the sensor but provides a longer focal length that lets more of the scene, including the subject remain in focus.

DxOMark has recently announced that from 22 January 2019 onwards, they will start benchmarking the front-facing selfie cameras which are found on modern day smartphones using similar testing procedures and methodologies that were used to test the rear primary cameras.

Last week was crazy busy as Honor started it with a bang and their officially announced Honor Note 8 and Honor 5 Play. Samsung subsequently skipped numbers and officially announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with their new Gear VR. ASUS soon followed suit with their full range of ASUS ZenFone 3, ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra, ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max and ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser smartphones along with their ASUS ZenBook 3, ASUS Transformer 3 and ASUS Transformer 3 Pro, all for Malaysia.

Samsung Malaysia has just confirmed the pricing and sent out the invites for the Malaysia launching of their latest Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 5. According to Samsung Malaysia the launch will be on 3 September 2015 but both will be available on 4 September 2015. The Galaxy S6 edge+ will be priced at RM3099 (inclusive of 6% GST) with 32GB storage and come in black and gold. The Galaxy Note 5 on the other hand will be priced at RM2699 (again inclusive of 6% GST) with 32GB storage and in gold or white. While both feature nearly the same tech specs, the Galaxy Note 5 features the latest in S Pen stylus technology, while the Galaxy S6 edge+ offers a larger 5.7-inch dual edge curved display with 2K resolution. Both feature a more premium design of metal and glass along with the latest ISOCELL camera technology. Stay tuned for more details and information as we'll be covering the launch come 3 September 2015.

In line with the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 here in Malaysia, Samsung Malaysia will be offering several promotions along with a 3-day roadshow across Malaysia. The first 100 customers who purchase a GALAXY Note 4 at participating Samsung Experience Stores and authorised dealers will receive a complimentary Gear Circle bluetooth headphones while the roadshow will be happening from 17 October 2014 to 19 October 2014 at the following Samsung Experience Stores:

Confirming earlier rumours, Samsung has just sent out invites for an UNPACKED 2014 event right before IFA 2014 where they will unveil the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phablet. Tech specs still have not been confirmed for the Galaxy Note 4 but many are thinking it may offer a Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB RAM, 5.7-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, 16MP camera with OIS, an ultraviolet sensor and Andoid 4.4 KitKat. We're still hoping that the RAM could get an increase to 4GB but this seems unlikely now. Other devices are also expected including the metal-body Samsung Galaxy Alpha and more (including some new wearable devices). No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but we should find out in another month so stay tuned for more developments.

Today's latest smartphones can now record 4K video and this includes the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Wanting to see just how far today's smartphone cameras have gone, photographer Alec Weinstein paired up the Galaxy Note 3's 13MP camera against a Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR with a SIGMA 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Bear in mind that the EOS 5D Mark III has been tweaked somewhat to get similar colour, contrast, saturation and sharpening, but the results are still decidedly better for the Galaxy Note 3. Granted, the Galaxy Note 3 is recording in 4K video but the resulting video has been downsized to 1080p and that the EOS 5D Mark III is definitely an excellent camera. Check out the video for yourself below and marvel with us at how far cameraphones have got:
