But if the 108 is capable of doing it then why would Xiaomi add laser AF ?

AnonD-754814, 02 Mar 2020The way you are saying isn't possible.
But they certainly can review devices after the retai... moretrue, i would the reviewers also do some re-visit after a year, since usually the phone would change quite a lot (either battery life, performance, camera, etc.). If I remember correctly, there is one youtuber that make a full explanation about this 'first-time' review and apparently, this is what the manufacturers do. (i'll post the link if i found it)
Plus, since the competitions are very tight now, with minor 'innovations' here and there in any new flagships, companies seem to aimed to get as much as pre-orders in the beginning. I quite understand this, since samsung wants to 'trap' buyers before they have a second thought when p40 pro, OP 8, iphone new SE (or 9 or whatever), or even new mi 10 pro and oppo find x2 release.

Apple do use ARM design.
So, how is Apple designing from scratch ?
You are too much apple biased.
Yes apple doesn't implement Arm Cortex design directly like Qualcomm, Kirin or MediaTek.
But Samsung used to design custom core(mongoose) just like Apple.
You just poked in the middle from out of nowhere without knowing the initial debate.
FN : I replied to your reply. But you went silent on that. Now you are debating on someone else's comment against me. Do you have have any particular problem with me ?

Nothing is as fast as dual pixel and laser autofocus.
... moreLaser AF does not work for video.
As I said, if you have 5 phones with dual pixel, they wont have same AF speed. It is softaware implementation.
S7 got 91 points for AF, X Performance (Hybrid without Laser AF) got 95.
My phone has PDAF only, no hunting in daylight videos and photos.

I would guess that the 100x Zoom has improved about 150-250% after the Firmware Update.

AnonD-754814, 04 Mar 2020I don't know what small pick means to you. It doesn't mean small copy. And to me small pick me... moreApple licenses the ISA and designs their microarchitecture from scratch. This is a "bit" different from Snapdragon and Samsung who license complete off the shelf microarchitectures (A76, A77, A55) from ARM. The only similarity is that all SoCs are able to run code in ARMv8 but that's it.
Going by your logic Intel designs AMD processors (x86 is an Intel property) but at the same time AMD designs Intel processors too (x86-64 is AMD property). They only licence the ISA from eachother and both are able to run x86 and x86-64 code but that's the only similarty.

Samsung has proved it. Have you hit your head somewhere ? The Sony XZ had Laser autofocus. So, definitely it will be better though the difference will not be noticeable to the normal eye as both are pretty fast.
If you look at the Xiaomi phones with almost the same 108MP camera.
They used laser autofocus. They have no problem with focusing.

Anyway, are you telling there is no similarities between Samsung Tetracell and Sony's Quad bayer ?
I think the difference is very little.
And I think you didn't know this, Apple design their SoC based on ARM's architecture too.
So, even if Apple find small similarities with exynos they can do nothing as Apple's design is also based on ARM and Exynos is also based on ARM.
How will Apple prove it unless it's the exact same copy.
Their origin design is same. ARM V .

Why dont you guys review the most accesible phone of the bunch first ? I know the ultra is the most interesting hardware wise but everyone is going to buy the s20 and s20+ . If it is shit it would be good for people to know so they can cancel the preorder. How many people are going to preorder the ultra ? lets be serious.

It would be still illegal if it ever touched Apple's IP, and if the ideas Samsung might copy were unpatentable, so broad and generic that there would be absolutely no risk of infringement, then probably they would've already found them and implemented on their own Exynos SoC after tearing apart A-series chip and looking for every single one of them that they might be able to use. What you're suggesting *might be* true, and I don't know the underlying truth because I'm not an insider or anything. But using my common sense and some knowledge on semiconductor industries, I don't believe that's the reason why Apple is not relying on Samsung for the SoC production.
Another possibility is that Apple has been avoiding Samsung since the allegation they faced back in 2015 where Samsung fabricated A9 slightly underperformed compared to TSMC fabricated one, though I would say the possibility that this is the actual reason isn't that high.

Almost all phones use Phase Detection.
Few have Dual Pixel
Many Sony with Hybrid (Phase Detection + Contrast Detection)
You do not see this kind of issues on other devices. Kinon and Sony do not use dual pixel, but do fast AF than Canon who created dual pixel tech ..
Check video below to see Hybrid AF of XZ vs Dual Pixel of S7. The S7 with slower AF.
Also phones with same type of AF wont perform same.
It is software thing.
S20 and 1 ii have same sensor, be sure S20 wont be able to act that fast while doing burst or tracking.

Update should fix a lot of things. By the time other flagships make their phones available, the S20 ultra should improve tremendously.
