Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is likely to launch sooner than expected, to get a 200MP camera

Earlier this year, we reported that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will get a massive upgrade over the existing Galaxy S22 Ultra, in the form of its main camera. Samsung has now all but confirmed that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be getting their latest Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor, which comes with a resolution of 200MP.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is likely to launch sooner than expected, to get a 200MP camera

To be clear, Samsung certainly won’t be the first smartphone manufacturer to give users a 200MP camera. Motorola, as well as Xiaomi, have already beaten Samsung to the 200MP milestone. However, both of the devices from these two smartphone brands use the older, and slightly inferior Samsung ISOCELL HP1 sensor. 

The Samsung ISOCELL HP3 is a much better and refined version of the Samsung ISOCELL HP1, and therefore, is capable of much better photos and videos, even when you omit the software-based processing.

South Korea’s Korea IT News reported, that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will use the ISOCELL HP3 200MP sensor as its primary camera. It will be limited to the Ultra variant only, replacing the current-gen 108MP that has been in use for two generations now since the S20 Ultra.

The report also states that Samsung reportedly has asked its major camera partners about its move to commission a 200MP sensor on the upcoming Ultra model. It includes Samsung Electronics and Samsung Electro-Mechanics which are Samsung’s only wings to produce the 200MP sensors for its smartphones.

We may see the 200MP ISOCELL HP3 sensor trickle down to other budget-friendly devices in the years to come, but for now, the sensor has been limited only to Samsung’s flagship devices, starting with the S23 Ultra. The ISOCELL HP1 on the other hand may be found on some of the more budget-friendly mid-range devices from other manufacturers in about 6-8 months.

In other news, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will be launching sooner than expected. Earlier it was reported that the Galaxy S23 Ultra would launch by the end of February 2023. However, recent reports suggest that the Galaxy S23 Ultra may be launched as early as the 31 January, 2023. 

Samsung is planning for a global launch, which means Samsung’s patrons in India may be getting the Galaxy S23 Ultra at the same time as everyone in the world. However, given that Samsung hasn’t made any official statement about the S23 Ultra as of yet, there is a good chance that a few details around the launch may get changed.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
