NEW DELHI: It looks like Samsung is planning to bring its 'Infinity Display' technology to budget smartphones as well. A new image showing the cover case of Samsung Galaxy A5 (2018) has popped up on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. What's new with the smartphone is that it is seen with the extended 18:9 aspect ratio display, something we have seen only with the Galaxy S8 and the Note 8 smartphones.

Other than the display, what's new is the Bixby button, which we assume can also be deactivated (if not remapped). Since there is no physical or capacitive buttons at the front, the device may have a fingerprint sensor at the back. The cover case shows a large cut out at the back indicating the inclusion of a fingerprint sensor below the camera or dual rear cameras.

Since the Galaxy A5 (2018) is seen with this design, it can be assumed that the Galaxy A7 and the A9 2018 versions too may sport the same display tech.


On a related note Samsung has also launched couple of camera image sensors for its budget smartphone. One of the image sensors supports the Galaxy Note 8's 'Portrait Mode' camera feature as well.


The two sensors are 1.28-micrometer (μm) 12-megapixel (Mp) ISOCELL Fast 2L9 with Dual Pixel technology and ultra-small 0.9μm 24Mp ISOCELL Slim 2X7 with Tetracell technology. "Dual Pixel technology especially allows depth-of-field effect for taking bokeh, or aesthetically out-of-focused photographs, through a traditional single lens camera," says the firm.


The ultra-small 0.9μm 24Mp ISOCELL Slim 2X7 image processor is claimed to be the first in the industry to have the pixel size below 1.0um. Although coming in a small pixel size, the sensor provides high color fidelity with less noise due to deeper DTI (deep trench isolation) tech. It also has Tetracell technology for taking brighter images in low light environments.
