Yesterday a schematic of the Galaxy Note10's rear
camera arrangement leaked, and we showed you a render approximating what that
would look like on the back of the upcoming device. What about the front,
though?
Since the Galaxy S10+ comes with two sensors in the
punch-hole screen cutout, you'd expect the Note10 to have at least that number
of cameras tucked in there, but apparently you'd be wrong. Both the Note10 and
the Note10 Pro (yes, we're getting two models this year, four if you count the
5G-enabled offshoots) will only employ one front-facing camera.
This information comes from Ice universe, a leakster
that has provided reliable info in the past. And it is the same person who has
confirmed that this render of the upcoming Note10 is in fact correct. This,
then, is what Samsung's next flagship smartphone will look like.
The render was created by Ben Geskin and is not a
leaked image, but we should probably expect it to be extremely close to the
official promo pictures. Once again the new vertical arrangement of the rear
cameras is confirmed, with two islands - a bigger one towards the left edge,
and a smaller one to its right, housing the LED flash, ToF camera, and possibly
a flood illuminator too. Over in the main hump, expect to see a wide,
ultra-wide, and tele lens, and don't be surprised if these are identical to
those in the Galaxy S10+.
It's good to see Samsung ditching its horizontally
aligned camera island abominations for the Note10, but apparently the new
design is controversial.
