Nokia Penta-Lens Camera Smartphone Rumoured Ahead of HMD Globa's MWC 2018 Reveal



  • New penta-lens Nokia smartphone is already prototyped

  • HMD Global is reportedly set to bring the new smartphone in late 2018
  • It is rumoured to have five camera sensors and two LED flashlights

While the world is anticipating the launch of new Nokia smartphones that are debuting at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, it has now been reported that HMD Global is preparing a new model with a penta-lens camera. The new Nokia smartphone is likely to be quite similar to the Nokia OZO camera that was debuted with eight lenses back in July 2015. The Finnish company previously disrupted the mobile handset market by bringing the Nokia 808 PureView and Windows Phone-running Lumia 1020 that both had featured a 1/1.2-inch, 41-megapixel camera sensor.
As per a report by China's VTech, sources familiar with Foxconn's R&D developments have revealed the plans for the new penta-lens camera smartphone. The Nokia handset in question is said to be already prototyped by HMD and is expected to go on sale sometime by the end of this year. Its launch is so far depending upon the mass production capabilities at Foxconn as embedding five camera lenses doesn't sound as easy as adding dual camera setups that you can see on many existing Android offerings.
The penta-lens camera system on the mysterious Nokia device is reported to come in a circular form with not five, but seven holes. Five of these holes will include camera lenses, while the remaining two are said to have two LED flashlights. It appears that this whole new camera setup may enable the new Nokia smartphone to capture splendid shots, irrespective of lighting and environmental conditions. Further, the rumoured handset is reported to have a fullscreen, thin-bezel display.
Features supporting the penta-lens camera setup are yet to surface online. However, we've already seen the presence of the Nokia brand on models such as Nokia 7 and Nokia 8 with built-in Ozo spatial audio technology. HMD also last year tied upwith German optics maker ZEISS to bring its Android smartphones with distinct imaging technologies. The Nokia 8 already brought a clear example of the partnership by offering an enhanced dual camera setup that features optical image stabilisation, monochrome sensor, wide-angle lens, and a telephoto lens.
Last week, HMD Global Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas teased a major showcasing plan for the MWC 2018. The executive didn't reveal any details, but some of the recent reports confirm that the company is expanding the Nokia family with the launch of the Nokia 1, Nokia 4, Nokia 7, Nokia 8 (2018), and Nokia 9. Among the new models, the Nokia 9 is expected to be the new flagship offering by the Finland-headquartered company. It is likely to have a dual selfie camera setup and a thin-bezel, 5.5-inch OLED display. The smartphone is also rumoured to come with 12-megapixel and 13-megapixel camera sensors on the back and a 3250mAh battery.
The Nokia lineup at the forthcoming MWC is also likely to get the affordable, Nokia 1 that is so far rumoured to be one of the first Android Go smartphones. It is expected to come with an HD IPS display, 1GB RAM, and 8GB onboard storage. Also, the handset is reported to go on sale in Russia with a price tag of RUB 5,999 (roughly Rs. 6,750).
HMD Global is hosting a press conference on February 25 to announce its new Nokia models before MWC. But there are no concrete details about the new penta-camera smartphone.

Google Will Pay Apple $9 Billion In 2018, And $12 Billion In 2019 As Default Search In Safari

Google might be the king of search right now, but it's not an easy task staying at the top. Aside from being efficient enough to convince users to come to them, Google also occasionally has to make sacrifices. Sometimes, that's a $9 billion sacrifice to maintain its monopoly. According to a Business Insider report, courtesy of Goldman Sachs analyst Rod Hall, Google will pay Apple approximately Rs 65,000 crore in 2018 in order to remain the Safari browser's default search engine. That number will also climb to $12 billion in 2019 (approximately Rs 87,000 crore). If that seems like an unreasonable amount to pay for such intangible benefits, think again. After all, Safari is the default browser on everything from the iPhone, to the iPad and Mac. A lot of those users actually prefer Apple's browser to other options, meaning Google would in turn be generating a really high amount of ad revenue from searches. According to Goldman Sachs, the fee Google pays ends up be...
