Previously available for Samsung's more recent flagships like the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Expert RAW photography app is now gaining full support for more devices. The trio that joins the list consists of Galaxy S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Fold 2.

With Leica switching allegiances to Xiaomi, it should come as no surprise to see Huawei revise the P50 Pro and remove any references to the German camera company. Reportedly, Huawei has also ditched the power supply from its latest flagship smartphone too.

DJI has introduced the Mavic 3E and Mavic 3T, the sole members of the new Mavic 3 Enterprise series. Building on the regular Mavic 3 series, the Mavic 3E and Mavic 3T offer up to 45-minute flight times and even a thermal camera in the case of the Mavic 3T.

The C3W Pro is the latest security camera from EZVIZ, of the Wi-Fi-capable form-factor intended to be installed outside. As such, it packs the OEM's latest color night-vision features, including automatic activation in response to movement. Its 1080p resolution and 2MP streaming mode allow it to hit a potentially attractive price-point.

Xiaomi is geared to launch its next smartphone in China next week. This device, the Xiaomi Civi 2, will have the honor of being the first smartphone to copy Apple's centered pill as seen on the iPhone 14 Pro models. It will, however, opt for two 32 MP selfie cameras instead.

DJI is preparing to release even more drones, having only just announced the Avata. While the Avata is a first-person view drone, DJI will use its 'Rise to the Call' event to showcase new enterprise drones. Rumoured to be the Mavic 3 Thermal and the Mavic 3 Enterprise, the pair will build on the existing Mavic 3 series.

DJI has confirmed another launch event, this time billed as helping 'Unfold Your Creativity'. Scheduled for September 22, several leaks have confirmed that the devices to be presented will be the OM 6 and the Osmo Mobile SE, a pair of smartphone gimbals. Prices for the pair have also emerged, as have their specifications.

GoPro has unveiled the Hero 11 Black, an action camera that it also available as the Hero 11 Black Creator Edition. Available to order now, the Hero 11 Black has GoPro's latest 27 MP camera sensor, plus a 1,720 mAh battery but the same GoPro GP2 processor as its predecessor. The Hero 11 Black starts at US$399.98 or US$579.98 for GoPro subscribers if you opt for the Creator Edition.

GoPro has unveiled the Hero 11 Black Mini globally, its first delve into a new form factor since the Hero Max. Equipped with more or less the same internals as the Hero 11 Black and the Hero 11 Black Creator Edition, the Hero 11 Black Mini is the most compact of the trio and is closer to the DJI Action 2's footprint, which has now been superseded by the Osmo Action 3.

DJI has beaten GoPro to the punch by unveiling the Osmo Action 3, which arrives just ahead of the Hero 11 Black and the Hero 11 Black Mini. Eschewing last year's modular design, the Osmo Action 3 has an additional front-facing touchscreen display, as well as superior image stabilisation and long battery life than the Action 2, among other changes.

GoPro has outlined when it will introduce the Hero 11 Black, as well as the rumoured Hero 11 Black Mini. Surprisingly, GoPro plans to launch both cameras on the same day that DJI has already scheduled for the Osmo Action 3's release.

DJI continues to tease the Osmo Action 3 ahead of its September 14 release. Arriving on the same day as the GoPro Hero 11 Black, the DJI Osmo Action 3 will arrive for as little as €369, if leaked pricing is to be believed. Specifications have also emerged online, with a few having already been confirmed by DJI.

The GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini is reportedly set to debut next week and the latest leak yet reveals its major features and details, with the mini action cam ditching displays entirely in favor of a lower price tag versus the Hero 11 Black.

The X-H2 is a new mirrorless APS-C camera that upgrades to the latest Fujifilm sensor and processor available to it, giving it the highest resolution and possibly the greatest performance of its line to date. It also packs the OEM's latest sensor-shift technology and in-body image stabilization (IBIS) for "robust" 8K/30fps recording with the option of internal Pro-Res - although it does also boast a full-sized HDMI port.

DJI has confirmed the launch date for its next action camera. Seemingly scheduled ahead of the arrival of the GoPro Hero 11 Black and Hero 11 Mini, the DJI Action 3 should offer superior waterproofing than both GoPro cameras, among other features.

While the GoPro Hero 11 Black looks set to be an incremental update on last year's Hero 10 Black, GoPro has now been touted to bring a new action camera to the market later this month as well. This camera, the Hero 11 Black Mini, appears to be a smaller, cheaper sibling to the Hero 11 Black.

GoPro is preparing to release the Hero 11 Black, the refresh of the popular Hero 10 Black. While the Hero 11 Black retains its predecessor's design, a new leak confirms changed internal hardware, including an upgraded camera sensor and improved video stabilisation.

A new leak has highlighted what to expect from the Mavic 3 Classic, a drone that DJI is expected to market as a cheaper version of the Mavic 3. Anticipated to arrive later this year, the Mavic 3 Classic will be a cut-down Mavic 3, albeit with the same camera as DJI's flagship consumer drone.

According to new rumours, DJI is planning to return to the Mini 3 series, just a few months after announcing the Mini 3 Pro. Billed as a non-Pro model without obstacle sensing, the drone may launch alongside the Mavic 3 Classic too.

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are heavily rumored to be equipped with 48 MP main cameras. In addition to that, the two Pro models will feature significantly improved ultra-wide-angle cameras, with a rumored sensor change that would see them outperform even the iPhone 12 Pro's main camera.

Google Research has presented RawNeRF, an AI-based camera software that dramatically improves the results of low-light images. Perhaps a taste of what is to come for future Google Pixel smartphones, RawNeRF eclipses what Google Night Sight can currently achieve.

GoPro is set to release its newest action camera, the GoPro Hero 11 Black. Considering the launch dates of the Hero 9 Black and Hero 10 Black, the Hero 11 Black can be expected to debut in September but will do so with a mostly unchanged design from its predecessor.

According to early reports, DJI is less than a month away from announcing the Action 3, an action camera that will probably compete with the GoPro Hero 11 Black. While the DJI Action 3 will serve as a successor to last year's Action 2, it is expected to depart from its compact design.

DJI has introduced the Avata, its latest FPV drone. Available from US$629.99, the DJI Avata has a 48 MP CMOS sensor, supports 4K videos and has an 18-minute battery life, among other features.

It is now possible to fly the DJI Mavic 3 drone without needing an A2 drone licence. While the DJI Mavic 3 has not changed since its release, the drone has been granted C1 certification under the EU's drone regulations. Consequently, you no longer need to keep at 50 metres away from people.

DJI has made its sub-249 g drone more enticing with a new software update. Distributed as V01.00.0300, the update enables DJI RC Pro support for the Mini 3 Pro, a remote controller than is available with the Mavic 3. Software V01.00.0300 introduces a few improvements for the Mini 3 Pro drone too.

DJI has confirmed the launch date for its next drone, which it will unveil during a 'Born to Fly' hardware event. Scheduled for later this month, the announcement arrives alongside more DJI Avata leaks. This time, the upcoming drone's full specifications have surfaced, confirming its flight time, its camera and its special features, among other things.

The Xperia PRO and PRO-I are even more expensive versions of their respective Sony flagship Android smartphone counterparts with, for example, HDMI support for use as serious cinematography equipment. Now, the OEM has doubled-up on this use-case even more with new additions to their arsenal of features as external monitors for alpha-series cameras.

More details about the DJI Avata and its various accessories have leaked ahead of their launch later this month. From prices to a specific release date, it appears that DJI has finalised its next-generation FPV drone, which will debut with two head units.

The identity of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's 200 MP camera was revealed a few days ago, and more information has now surfaced about the sensor. Sadly, though, it appears the S23 Ultra's camera will remain less impressive than the Xiaomi 12S Ultra's IMX989.

Hands-on images of the DJI Avata's first-person view (FPV) goggles have leaked online, confirming the accessory's design. Supposedly, the upcoming drone has taken another critical step on its road to market too.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is said to be ready to make the step up from the 108 MP main camera on recent Samsung flagships, to a new 200 MP camera. The identity of that 200 MP sensor was unknown, but that appears to have changed.

Google has released a new camera feature for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, nearly a year after their release. Expanding the functionality of Magic Eraser, the feature comes directly from the Pixel 6a, which launched last month.

Rumours about the Xperia 1 V have already appeared online, two months after Sony released the Xperia 1 IV. Assumed to be arriving in 2023, the Xperia 1 V is tipped to rely on a new triple camera setup, a major departure from the Xperia 1 IV and its predecessors.

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is already regarded as one of the best camera smartphones in the world, thanks to its class-leading 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor and Leica's imaging. The flagship phone may be set to get improved camera performance as well, in light of new information.

It appears that Google is making some camera hardware improvements for this autumn's Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Not only will the Pixel 7 feature a superior front-facing camera compared to the Pixel 6, the Pixel 7 Pro will have a different telephoto camera from last year's Pixel 6 Pro.

Samsung, last week, filed a new trademark in Korea that provides hints as to the company's plans for an upcoming camera sensor. This sensor could be a 450 MP one, with a post-binning pixel size matching that of the 1-inch Sony IMX989 on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

Motorola continues to tease the Moto X30 Pro on Chinese social media ahead of the device's launch. Rumoured to be arriving globally as the Edge 30 Ultra, the Moto X30 Pro utilises the Samsung ISOCELL HP1, a 200 MP camera sensor. Although plenty of unknowns remain about Motorola's next flagship, a company executive has shared a high-resolution camera sample with his followers.

Samsung has announced changes for its Expert RAW app. While the camera app has gained new features, it will not support the Galaxy S20 Ultra's telephoto camera. Neither the Galaxy S20 Ultra, nor the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra or the Galaxy Z Fold2 will support Expert RAW until September at the earliest, either.

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has received plenty of media attention for its 1-inch Sony IMX989 main camera. It appears, however, that the new Xiaomi flagship may not have the honor of being the first phone with that sensor, with a lesser-known device beating it to the punch back in May.

According to a new leak, the Xiaomi 12T Pro will have the honor of being Xiaomi's first phone to feature a 200 MP camera. The vanilla Xiaomi 12T could share that sensor, too, if prior generations of the series are anything to go by.

DJI has released a firmware update for the Mini 3 Pro, its latest 249 g drone. Not only has the company updated the drone's firmware, it has also issued updates for its RC-N1 and RC remote controllers. All updates are rolling out now as over-the-air (OTA) updates.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23+ are expected to feature a new 12 MP selfie camera. On the other hand, however, it appears Samsung will maintain the 10 MP telephoto camera from the S22 and S22+ on the next-gen non-Ultra models.

Contrary to previous reports, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will not be equipped with Samsung's new 200 MP ISOCELL HP3 sensor. That, however, does not mean the next-gen flagship could not arrive with an entirely different 200 MP CMOS sensor.

Third-party camera app Camera+ 2 has made it possible to produce 48 MP images on iOS even without the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max. LateNiteSoft has increased the cost of the app going forwards, as well as introducing a subscription-based model.

Sony and Samsung look set to bring a number of new, powerful smartphone camera sensors to the market. For Sony, one of those will be the company's first foray into the 100 MP range and will be designed for the mid-range segment. Samsung, however, looks to outdo the massive ISOCELL GN2 on the Mi 11 Ultra.

DJI has introduced the RS 3 series and the Transmission, a video transmitter that will begin shipping in September. In comparison, the RS 3 and RS 3 Pro will be available within the next few weeks, with the RS 3 set to arrive before the RS 3 Pro.

Apparent marketing images of the DJI Avata and new DJI FPV Goggles have leaked. Showing several design changes from the DJI FPV and DJI FPV Goggles V2, the pair are expected to debut next month, after the release of the DJI RS3 and RS3 Pro.

DJI has begun teasing its next hardware event, which will occur on June 15. Dubbed as setting 'a new standard', it seems that DJI will reveal the RS3 and RS3 Pro gimbals, which have leaked previously. Separately, more photos of the RS3 and RS3 Pro have arrived, plus a likely confirmation that there will be no RSC3.
