Samsung Galaxy S2 will have a super smooth 12Hz display

Looks like S20 will have 120refresh rate as well.

Our eyes can't even detect 120hz bro.

This is getting out of hand now. 🤣

Specs of the S20 are out. Only the S20 has a decent size (6.2"). The Plus (6.7") and Ultra (6.9") are way too big.

Only the Ultra gets the best cameras (108 MP main camera, 10x telephoto). Not sure if the S20 will have significantly better sensors than the Note 10.

Width is same as my note9. Good enough

4K/60 or 8K looks really tempting...

I wonder if the file system will still cut files every 4GB

With the possibly big 16gb memory and ufs3.0. I think it should be unlimited with the onboard system storage. The microsd will be the bottleneck.

4GB video is a file system issue, same as the GoPro...

then the second issue is wala naman Movie Editor na maayos ang Android...

buti pa yung iPhone, nung lumabas yung 4K recording nila, biglang update din ng iMovie to support 4K.

Successfully blocked a lot Xiaomi servers from my Mi 9T Pro using netguard. God damn Xiaomi's MIUI contact many of their servers all the time. And it's coming within deep inside the system root and service frameworks. Didn't experienced this with oneplus.

^Yung free version lang NetGuard mo or yung paid version? Had NetGuard before pero yung free lang. If ip or domain blocking I think yung paid version tama ba? Nagtry ako before ng isang free app that can do domain blocking. Lakas sa battery. Hehe

The free version has blocking if you upload and append a host file to it.


Then there are features you have to pay for to use.


I paid ₱115 for seeing the log.


And ₱229 for to be able to filter traffic per app.

Blokada is pretty good for ads/access blocking, and works without needing root.
What it does is create a local VPN and route your traffic through it. Ad servers are blocked through custom hosts and/or DNS servers
Completely free and open source too.

Yup, I'm using this, easy to use, barely register in battery usage and free.

Drool. I like already. Probably more expensive than my gaming laptop though.

One drawback of having 108MP squeezed into a small phone sensor is that you only get 0.7 micron pixel size.

This is much smaller than the 1.8 micron pixels of the 12MP Sony IMX555 sensors on the lower end S20 variants.

For comparison, a Canon 6D has 6.55 micron pixels. Bigger pixels = more detail per pixel.

Edit: The Ultra will still have an output of 12MP with the use of pixel-binning to generate a 2.4 micron pixel. Looks promising.

wala talagang stock nang Oppo Reno 2 sa Globe. I opted for Huawei Nova 5T.. better chipset at Kirin 980.

I travel a lot and take tons of pictures and videos. The 10x optical zoom is gonna come in handy for a lot of shots (i.e. am on the shore, kids are in the water, etc)

Disadvantage of having 4k or 8k is the high memory.

90 minutes of 4k video is 6000gb... 8k will eat 18000 gb.




How Much Bigger is 8K? | Signiant File Transfer Software

You will need a 75" inch 8k TV screen to see any advantage, which won't fit most homes of mere mortals.

Consumer phones dont do 16bit+ 4k raw.

Even the upcoming s20 is only 10bit..
