Smartphone cameras have gotten quite good, but it’s getting harder and harder to improve them because we’ve pretty much reached the limit of what’s possible in the space of a cubic centimeter.

The camera system is new and intriguing, but the phone is overpriced Sony’s new Xperia 1 II smartphone is purpose-built for one very specific thing: to make your phone work a little bit more like a standalone Sony Alpha camera.

This year, Google is finally turning its attention to its video doorbell and security cameras, following the Nest Wifi , Nest Hub smart displays, Nest speakers , and Nest Thermostat that have already made the jump.

9 aspect ratio, and a 90Hz refresh rate, the last of which could make your phone feel smoother in day-to-day use. Marc Levoy, the former Googler who led the development of the computational photography technology in the Pixel phones, even said , “while wide-angle can be fun, we think telephoto is more important.”
It looks the same, but it flies and shoots much better When the first Mavic Mini was introduced, it was clearly created with one purpose: make a drone with an adequate camera that weighs under 250 grams.

A good camera system and top-notch features, but it’s priced too high to recommend The Sony Xperia 1 III is a great phone that I won’t recommend to many people. There are serious photo and video recording capabilities within the native camera apps, but nothing that could be considered unique to Xperia or a must-have.
The 16:10 aspect ratio gives you an extra bit of vertical space, in addition to space on the sides. percent screen-to-body ratio, which Dell says is higher than any competitors. The 2.25mm, 720p camera supports Windows Hello facial recognition, which works just fine, but I was grainy and washed out on video calls. It has a 93.7

The news I’m personally most excited about is the screen shape.
If you have a terrible attention span during movies, it’s also good for scrolling through Twitter or checking IMDb to figure out what TV show that actor was in while watching Netflix, although the second small display is hard to use for any overly complex tasks due to its size and nearly square aspect ratio.
It has many of the same strengths that its ThinkPad siblings do, including the camera shutter, the discrete clickers, the keyboard nub, and the black-and-red color scheme that ThinkPad fans will know and love.

OnePlus has some work to do to catch up to those competitors in the camera department, for one. Its 20:9 aspect ratio is a hair taller than the S22 Plus and Pixel 6 Pro’s displays, and it matches their top refresh rate of 120Hz. There are three rear cameras on the 10 Pro, and they’re broadly the same as last year’s.
It’s kept the same 90 percent screen-to-body ratio.). Microsoft’s Surface devices have been using the 3:2 aspect ratio for years, and I’m glad that the Spectre line is finally making the switch.

And let’s get this out of the way: it is the best consumer drone for video and photography you can buy right now. The new camera module is big.
Yes, Motorola made some compromises to deliver a phone at this low price point, but it still nails all the basics that you should care about: good build quality, good battery life, and good cameras for the price. The Moto G Pure kept it simple with a rear, dual-camera system, rather than add a sub-par ultrawide or macro camera onto the back.
My only gripe with either display is that they have 16:10 aspect ratios and therefore a much smaller surface area than their iPad Pro counterparts.

The ZenFone 8 delivers flagship-level build quality and performance in a small package After a couple of generations making phones with flip-out cameras and increasingly large displays, Asus has taken the ZenFone 8 in a totally different direction: small.

The $190 20SE has a 6.82-inch
inch screen is cramped for a desktop OS like Chrome OS (though it is bright enough to use outdoors, and I appreciate that it has a 16:10 aspect ratio — 16:9 would be unbearable for me at this size). You can take your own view, but I’d rather use an iPad or dedicated tablet for these purposes and have the camera in the right place.
The Flip 3’s 9:22 aspect ratio is taller than most phones, but other than that, it works just like any other modern smartphone. Galaxy Z Flip 3 camera.

Asus says the ZenBook has a new “camera algorithm” to correct exposure and color balance in selfies.
And just like late-2021’s iteration of the Blade 17 , this one has Razer’s fingerprint-resistant coating and a 1080p Windows Hello webcam instead of a 720p camera. It’s a noticeable improvement over the 720p cameras that Razer previously used, but it’s relative. Photography by Cameron Faulkner / The Verge.
Amazon moved the front-facing camera from the short edge, like it is on iPads, to the long edge, so video calls in landscape orientation are much less awkward. The 2-megapixel camera still isn’t very good, with lots of image noise, smeared details, and low color saturation. Photography by Dan Seifert / The Verge.

The Surface-signature 3:2 aspect ratio makes working with documents and browsing websites more comfortable, but it also gives the Laptop Studio a footprint that’s almost as big as a 15-inch laptop. This camera is not as nice as the 5-megapixel sensor in the Surface Pro computers, and it made my face look red in video calls.
You can adjust the monitor’s settings using a tiny five-way control nub underneath the power LED, and it’s remarkable how much you can tweak — including the ability to crop the entire panel to 4:3, 16:9, or 21:9 aspect ratios instead of stretching out the image. The ultrawide aspect ratio didn’t work as well for video as I hoped, though.
