Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ may get triple camera setup with 50MP as main camera

Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ rumors haven’t begun arriving by the dozen just yet as it’s simply too early, but you simply can’t stop the floodgates about Samsung’s next flagships. Now, Twitter tipster FrontTron may have dished out some Galaxy S22 and S22+ camera details. The leaker alleges that a “Samsung Rainbow” series will offer a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide shooter, and a 12MP 3X telephoto sensor. The source also cautions that the information should be taken with a pinch of salt.

FrontTron previously alleged that the Galaxy S22 series was called Rainbow, and that the models are called red (standard S22), green (S22 Plus), and blue (S22 Ultra). This information was seemingly corroborated by a Korean blog post. So the mention of “Rainbow” and “R/G” in the latest tweet indeed lines up with the S22 and S22 Plus.

This latest bit of information isn’t anything totally new. We’ve known about Samsung’s new 50MP ISOCELL GN2 sensor that has 1.4μm-sized pixels ever since its announcement this February, and from the looks of it, this sensor or an eventual successor could be snapping pics on a Galaxy near you next year.

A 50MP sensor will also allow for 8K video recording via the main camera, which should deliver better low-light video in theory compared to the S21 and S21 Plus. These models shoot 8K video via the 64MP hybrid telephoto camera, which has reduced low-light performance on paper.

Speaking of hybrid telephoto cameras, there’s no word on whether the apparent 12MP 3X telephoto camera listed by the leaker is a full-blown telephoto camera or another hybrid camera. Hopefully, Samsung switches to proper telephoto cameras on the upcoming devices for improved image quality.

Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ specs (Expected)

As far as some other S22-series specs are concerned, we expect a Galaxy S22 with a 6.06″ display, an S22+ with a 6.55″ one, and an S22 Ultra with a LTPO 6.81″, which will allow for a superior spread of the variable refresh rate, likely between 1Hz and 120Hz like the S21 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is likely to be powered by an Exynos 2100 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Under the hood, it should run on Android 12 and pack a 4,500mAh battery with fast-charging support.

Buffon explains the reason behind Barcelona snub

One of the best goalkeepers of all time the Serie A legend Gianluigi Buffon has signed for his boyhood club Parma Calcio 1913. He has further confirmed that there were several European clubs who are part of the upcoming Champions League campaign that had offered the Italian shot-stopper a contract among which were FC Barcelona as well.

In the past as well in 2018 Gianluigi Buffon had left Juventus for the French Giants Paris Saint-Germain but returned to the Turin club after completing just one season.

Buffon sets record 648th Serie A appearance! - Juventus
via Juventus

Buffon has made a total mammoth 930 appearances in Europe and managed to keep an impressive 416 clean sheets.

The legendary goalkeeper explained the reason behind subbing FC Barcelona saying that he was tired of being a substitute and wanted more first-team football and it’s fair that a player with having experience as him should be on the pitch making a difference.

Buffon had made a mere 14 appearances this season for Juventus, so it’s natural for him to seek more game time.

He further stated “I had two big offers, but I didn’t want to be a substitute again, I was tired of being the second choice. I did it at Juve because of the link I have with the club, but to be honest I didn’t want to do it again, not like the last two years.”

“I had other interesting offers, even from teams in the Champions League, but the emotional implication (with Parma) made my mind up. That emotion is the only way to keep playing at a high level. I knew Parma could give me something no other team would. I am happy with the affection shown to me. I feel at home. I love it here.”

Parma will highly benefit from Buffon’s arrival and they will be under the fan’s watch this coming season.

Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the highest international goalscorer after matching Ali Daei’s record

0

Cristiano Ronaldo is now the joint highest international goalscorer, after converting two penalties against France in Portugal’s last match of the group stage. The result was ultimately a 2-2 draw, but the defending champions qualified thanks to their captain.

The first penalty was conceded after Danilo was outright punched by Hugo Lloris in an attempt to clear a set piece. Ronaldo shot left, as the French captain dived right and Portugal took the lead. 

The second came from a handball conceded by Joules Kounde in the second half. A cool and composed Portugese captain beat his French counterpart once more to level things up for good in the match. Iran legend Ali Daei took to Instagram to congratulate the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner, saying he is honoured that the record will belong to Cristiano. 

Converting two penalties is never an easy task, especially when your country’s qualification is at stake. And CR7 made no mistake either time as he beat Lloris twice to deny France a victory in Budapest. 

With 5 goals in the competition so far, Ronaldo also leads the scoring charts in Euro 2020. Three of those goals have been from penalties, with one coming against Hungary and two against France. Only Michel Platini has scored more goals than Ronaldo in the group stage, with 7 to his name in comparison to Ronaldo’s five. 

The Portugal captain will have the chance to surpass Ali Daei in the Round of 16, as they go up against the world’s number 1 ranked team, Belgium. 

Euro 2020 – Group F: France and Portugal qualify as Germany join the party with a late equalizer

Deemed as the group of death, group F didn’t fail to live up to the hype it amassed at the time of the draws. With France, Germany, and Portugal in the same group, it was always destined to showcase the most mouthwatering of fixtures. With the qualification saga going down to the last matchday of the group stages, the standings kept on changing throughout the 90 minutes. Germany, who entered the tournament as the lesser of the three, ended up finishing second by securing a draw against Hungary.

The first matchday saw France and Portugal secure three points against Germany and Hungary respectively. The group looked along the lines of the collective prediction. Hungary, who put in a convincing defensive display, were eventually penetrated. On the other side, Germany looked far from satisfactory in terms of attack.

However, the second matchday brought drama to the picture. France were held at a 1-1 by Hungary in Budapest, a result which was fortunate for the world champions, as they were the ones who went a goal down early on. Meanwhile, Portugal took an early lead against the Germans through Cristiano Ronaldo’s third goal of the tournament. However, it didn’t provide relief for long, as the ever so dominant Germany made a first half comeback, before adding two in the second half as well. Although the defending championships pulled one back to make it 2-4, they stood outclassed by the 2014 world champions.

The third matchday was supposed to put Portugal and France in a tough spot, but it was Germany who were really in a sticky situation. After conceding early at the Allianz Arena, they found it difficult to get the equalizer. However, when they did equalize, a defensive blunder followed to give Hungry the lead again with Germany’s reply coming just two minutes ago.

Portugal and France went on to play a 2-2 draw, which saw them both qualify. The real dilemma lied in the German ranks, with them being on fourth with the 1-2 score line. However, the four-time world champions were relentless in their search for a goal, which served them with the result. Substitute Leon Goretzka buried a powerful shot in the net with time running out.

With them leapfrogging from 4th to 2nd, it shaped up an extremely dramatic ride over the three games. France are set to face Switzerland, while Germany will visit Wembley to go up against England. Portugal, who finished third, will be facing Belgium in the round of 16.

The New NVIDIA Canvas App (Beta)

Releasing today in beta, the new NVIDIA Canvas app lets creators paint by material rather than color, using RTX-accelerated AI to turn brushstrokes into lifelike images. The tool also allows artists to use style filters, changing an image in-progress to adopt the style of a particular painter. RTX users can download the Canvas beta, take it for a test drive and provide feedback on the NVIDIA forums.

  • Substance 3D Stager is the new app for assembling, lighting and rendering photorealistic scenes. It lets artists place and adjust objects in real time. Interactive ray tracing, which is accelerated on RTX GPUs today, helps remove guesswork.
  • Substance 3D Modeler (private beta), available soon, will allow artists to create and combine 3D models at every stage of the creative process, be it concept art, sketching or prototyping. This application uses the cross-platform Vulkan API to access the power of RTX GPUs.
  • Substance 3D Sampler (previously known as Alchemist) converts physical samples and photos into high quality, ready-to-use 3D materials, saving valuable time from having to build materials from scratch.

June Studio Driver – New Features and More Performance 

NVIDIA’s June update is the first Studio Driver to add support for several key features: 

  • Resizable BAR boosts performance on GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs by allowing the CPU to more efficiently access graphics memory. 
  • Dynamic Boost 2.0, which uses AI to balance power between the CPU, GPU and GPU memory on Ampere notebooks, is now optimized for creative apps.
  • Support for virtualization on GeForce GPUs, allowing users on a Linux host PC to enable GPU passthrough on a virtual Windows guest OS.

The latest Studio Driver also includes improved performance and reliability in the Adobe Substance 3D apps, NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA Canvas beta, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Lightroom and more.

All the Details About Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

0

Team Ninja’s new action RPG, Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, was in highlights of E3 2021 multiple times. The game came up with an awful trailer, where a trio of characters dives into a quest to “Kill Chaos”.

Having some cringe-worthy dialogue and a painfully self-serious tone, it was truly the most confusing moment of this year’s show. Here we have brought all the details regarding Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.

Release Date

There is no release date has been announced for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, but Team Ninja has informed that the game will release sometime in 2022.

Reveal Trailer

After watching some impressive trailers at E3, I don’t know what will be your reaction after watching this one. It’s clearly a bizarre reveal for a game.

Gameplay Demo

In the gameplay, I can say that it seems an entertaining action game rather than a showcase of memes. But don’t think it was needed to show extensive navigation of menus and tutorial textboxes.

Storyline

This one is a pseudo-remake of the very first Final Fantasy. Stranger of Paradise takes place in the same fantasy world as that title and roughly features the premise and certain plot points of that game.

stranger of paradise FF 2 All the Details About Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

The creative producer, Tetsuya Nomura has described that Stranger of Paradise “is not a direct continuation to FF1’s story, but a new story inspired by it.” He added, “The game was inspired by FF1. The setting is based on FF1 as well. Where did the Warriors of Light come from and who are they? This is something you find out in the ending of FF1.”

The Character You Will Play

A character named Jack. Jack is the leader of the Warriors of Light. Really? Jack? A name of the lead in video-game-like Final Fantasy. He crushes the enemies into bloody crystals while screaming something like “I’ll crush you!” and “Feel the pain!”
