    HMD Hyper Specs Leak: Lumia Design, 50MP OIS Camera

    HMD recently unveiled the Crest and Crest Max smartphones in India, and it’s also developing other devices like the HMD Barbie phone. Additionally, tipster @smashx_60 on X (formerly Twitter) has shared some insights about another upcoming smartphone called the HMD Hyper.

    Similar to the Nokia Lumia-inspired HMD Skyline, which launched last month, the HMD Hyper features a flat display with large bezels and curved sides. The screen is expected to use an OLED panel, offering FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, coupled with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The device will also include a MicroSD card slot for expandable storage.

    Camera and Battery Specifications

    In terms of camera capabilities, the HMD Hyper is rumored to sport a 50 MP primary camera with optical image stabilization, along with a 13 MP and an 8 MP camera. The front-facing camera is said to be a 50 MP shooter capable of FHD video recording at 60FPS. The primary camera will support up to 4K video recording at 30FPS. The device is also expected to come with a 4,700mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging.

    Comparison with HMD Skyline

    Based on these specs, the HMD Hyper appears to be a slightly toned-down version of the HMD Skyline, which boasts a 144Hz OLED display, a 108MP primary camera, and a 50MP telephoto lens. The HMD Skyline also comes with a more powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. The release date for the HMD Hyper has not yet been disclosed.

  • DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro: First ‘Pro’ Action Camera from DJI

    DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro: First ‘Pro’ Action Camera from DJI

    It’s been almost a year since DJI introduced the Osmo Action 4, a commendable mid-range action camera that positioned itself as a competitor to GoPro's products.

    Since that release, DJI has diverted its attention to other camera categories, unveiling new RS camera gimbals and drones like the Avata 2 and Mini 4K, each catering to various budgets and needs. There are even whispers about a forthcoming Air 3S drone.

    Market Activity and Competitors

    While DJI has remained relatively silent on the action camera front since the Osmo Action 4, competitors such as GoPro (with its Hero 12 Black) and Insta360 (with models like the Ace, Ace Pro, X4, and Go 3S) have continued to release new products. However, recent leaks indicate that DJI may soon re-enter the action camera market.

    A filing with the UAE’s Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), uncovered by trusted leak source @Quadro_News, hints that DJI’s next action camera will be named the Osmo Action 5 Pro.

    Speculations and Expected Features

    The filing doesn’t provide many details, only associating the model number AC004 with the marketing name “Osmo Action 5 Pro.” The term “Pro” is noteworthy, as it is the first time DJI has used it in their action camera range, possibly indicating significant upgrades.

    The Osmo Action 4 came equipped with a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor. Rumors now suggest that the Osmo Action 5 Pro might adopt the 1-inch sensor seen in DJI’s Osmo Pocket 3 handheld camera. This enhancement could make the Osmo Action 5 Pro a strong contender against models like the Insta360 One R, which features a Leica-co-engineered 1-inch sensor, and the 8K-capable Insta360 Ace Pro.

    Anticipated Launch

    The leak does not specify when the Action 5 will be released. However, considering DJI’s previous release patterns, a global launch for the Osmo Action 5 series in summer 2024 seems plausible.
