Galaxy S11 rumored to deliver Samsung’s next big camera innovations

When the Galaxy Note 10 launches about two months from now, it'll deliver a novel design, maybe the kind of radical update that removes all physical buttons and the headphone jack. Yup, the audio port seems to be history, at least on the Note line. The phone is also expected to sport an S Pen stylus with improved functionality, as well as faster battery charging technology. But what the Galaxy Note 10 won't deliver, in spite of getting a brand new camera system, is a better camera experience than the Galaxy S10 phones. That's because a rumor says Samsung's next major camera evolution is planned for next year's Galaxy S11 instead.That's not to say the Galaxy Note 10 camera will be disappointing. It'll definitely be an upgrade over last year's Note 9, which is already quite impressive. Samsung's triple-lens-or-better module is coming to the upcoming Note 10 series, according to a leak from earlier this week. It's going to have a different placement on the back of the phone compared with the previous Note, but it'll probably get most or even all of the Galaxy S10's camera features.The news comes from Samsung insider Ice Universe, who said on Twitter that the Galaxy Note 10 will be Samsung's last "last 1/2.55-inch 1.4um CMOS flagship phone," which Samsung has been using for four years. The leaker also said the Galaxy S11 will get a new "large-size large-pixel CMOS."https://twitter.com/UniverseIce/status/1133554761393795073According to the same leaker, the Galaxy Note 10 won't pack optical zoom capabilities similar to what you might find from the competition -- namely the Huawei P30 Pro. Samsung has tested 10x optical zoom on phones, but the components apparently require too much space inside the phone.https://twitter.com/UniverseIce/status/1133553896499007488Samsung has created its own 5x optical zoom camera that will compete against the Huawei P30 Pro, but it'll launch it on new Galaxy A series mid-range phones at first, not the Note 10.https://twitter.com/UniverseIce/status/1133551214417698816Samsung will unveil the Note 10 phones in August, so there's plenty of time left to learn everything about their rear and front-facing cameras.

Haunting picture of Budapest boat at the bottom of the Danube as search for the 21 missing continues

As divers descended Friday into the Danube, Hungarian authorities predicted it would take an extended search to find the 21 people still missing after a boat carrying South Korean tourists was rammed by a cruise ship and sank into the river in Budapest. Seven people so far are confirmed dead and seven others were rescued. New pictures released by the Hungarian Water Rescue Services showed the boat itself lying on its side on the riverbed. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and his South Korean counterpart, Kang Kyung-wha, visited the site of Wednesday's accident and met with rescue and search officials before holding talks. "We have to prepare for a protracted search," Szijjarto said he was told by Budapest river police, adding that authorities were also expecting help from Serbia, where the Danube flows after leaving Hungary. "It is not unimaginable that we will need to depend on them in the coming days." Divers in full equipment went into Danube but were unable to inspect the wreckage of the boat properly due to the extremely murky waters and heavy currents from recent rains. Officials said it could take days to recover the 70-year-old boat, which was built in the former Soviet Union. Just hours after Wednesday night's collision, the body of one victim was found nearly 12 kilometers (7 1/2 miles) downstream from the site of the collision, near the Hungarian capital's neo-Gothic parliament building. Marine divers, members of a South Korean rescue team, are participating in rescue operations to find victims of the accident Credit: Tamas Kovacs/REX "The wreck is located more than six meters (20 feet) deep and the water level continues to rise because of the expected rainfall," Szijjarto added. Hungarian police have detained and questioned the captain of the Viking Sigyn river cruise ship that collided with a sightseeing boat. Szijjarto said the 64-year-old Ukrainian captain protested being considered a suspect. Identified only as Yuriy C., he is suspected of endangering water transport leading to a deadly mass accident. Prosecutors said they had asked a Budapest court to place the captain under arrest, which they considered necessary "to ensure his presence during the proceedings." A decision about the arrest is expected Saturday. The Viking Sigyn has been allowed to sail on to Germany but Kang said the ship's owner "has promised to fully cooperate with the investigation." "If the investigation finds the ship's owner responsible, there will be a thorough legal response," she added. The ministers agreed to search for every missing person. "We shared our firm resolve ... to search for survivors to the last person," Kang said. A South Korean group on a package tour of Europe - including 30 tourists, two guides and a photographer- were on an hour-long sightseeing tour of Budapest when their boat collided with a Viking cruise ship during a downpour Wednesday evening. Nineteen South Koreans and two Hungarian crew members - the captain and his assistant - remain missing. A crew member from another tour boat who helped rescue two South Korean women, said one of them was in shock. "I announced 'Man overboard' on the radio in Hungarian and German and we started the rescue," Norbert Magyar told broadcaster RTL Klub. "We threw out two life preservers which were caught by two Korean ladies and with the help of our colleagues we lifted them out of the water. The passengers helped too, because ... the two women's clothes absorbed a lot of water and it would have been very difficult to lift them out."

Survivors say they were lucky to grab onto a drifting lifeboat Wednesday evening while looking in horror as others around them struggled in the dark, rainy waters, shouting for help. Their small sightseeing boat had almost finished its tour and was almost at a stop when the larger cruise ship hit it under a bridge near the riverbank parliament building. They said about 20 people were on the deck taking photographs or preparing to disembark. The others were in the cabin. "I saw that big cruise ship coming closer to us but I had never imagined it would ram our boat," a 31-year-old South Korean surnamed Jeong told the Yonhap news agency. Jeong said she and others on the deck were thrown into the cold Danube by the impact of the collision, while police said it took only seven seconds for the tourist boat to overturn and sink. Jeong said she grabbed a lifeboat drifting by and managed to throw a rope to another tourist surnamed Yoon. "Our boat was turned over in an instant and began sinking," Yoon, 32, told Yonhap. "All those on the deck fell into water. I think those staying in the cabin on the first floor couldn't probably get out of the ship quickly." The South Korean government said no one was wearing a life jacket. Video released by Hungarian police showed the sightseeing boat, identified as the Hableany (Mermaid), traveling closely side-by-side and in the same direction as the German-built Viking cruise ship as they approached the Margit Bridge. The Hableany then appears to steer slightly to its left, into the path of the 135-meter (443-feet) long cruise ship, which continued to sail on at the same speed. The two collided and the sightseeing boat then tipped over on its side between the bridge's two supports. Police Col. Adrian Pal said it was unclear what caused the Hableany to steer into the path of the Viking.
