Samsung's Upcoming Galaxy S Phone Will Sport Six Cameras and Support 5G, Report Says (wsj.com)

Posted by msmash on from the shape-of-things-to-come dept.

Samsung is planning a major upgrade for its 10th anniversary flagship phones next year, including next-generation 5G network speeds, bigger screens and more cameras, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. From the report: Samsung, the world's largest smartphone maker by volume, is preparing three versions of its next flagship Galaxy S10 smartphone, with displays that range in size from 5.8 inches to 6.4 inches, the people said, versus two variants in previous years. Those three phones are set to debut in February next year, they added. In addition, the South Korean technology giant is developing a fourth variant of the Galaxy S10 that will be 5G-enabled and is internally code-named "Beyond X," [Editor's note: the link may be paywalled; alternative source] some of these people said.

The 5G phone, slated for a spring release in the U.S. and South Korea, would sport an even larger screen, measuring 6.7 inches diagonally, and pack in a whopping six cameras -- two in the front and four in the back, these people said, which promise richer photos and better spatial perception.

    The new Samsung Bixby(TM) artificial intelligence processes all six images then finds the one of them that doesn't have your fat fingers covering the lens. Then through a generative adversarial quantum neural net filter is learns to reconstruct the missing data in the photos containing your finger.

      You are so fucking stupid it's a miracle that you have the technical know how to sign in to /.

      It pisses me off when people pretend to know shit when their narrative clearly demonstrates otherwise.

      How can that possibly work without blockchain?

      Quantum Deep Learning social networks apply middle-out compression through a on-line JIT Gig-economy stored in a continuously shared webscale Mongo DB and thus have no need to use blockchain.

      I'm so embarrassed.

      I googled my criticism before posting as part of due diligence and still missed the "JIT Gig-economy" nullification of blockchain which would not only be redundant, it would be disruptive to the 6-core AI virtual reality algorithm when we all know Al Gore ain't got no rhythm.

      I apologize for my shortcomings.

    6 cameras are required because the average human only has 5 fingers he can put in front of the lens to ruin the picture.
