Sony IMX686 sensor Coming Soon

48MP sensors have become very common these days on Android smartphones. Xiaomi even launched a 108MP phone couple of days ago, which was made by Samsung. Realme launched a phone with a 64MP sensor, again made by Samsung, for a price of just Rs 14,999 a few months back as well. 

Until those Samsung sensors came, the most popular 48MP sensor, seen of many smartphones was actually made by Sony. It was codenamed Sony IMX586.

For 2020, Sony has made another big megapixel sensor for the masses. On Weibo, Sony's official channel put out a video teasing Sony IMX686 image sensor. 

How many Megapixel will it have ? Currently Sony hasn't announced any technical info about this sensor. So we will have to wait.

There are some new phones from Oppo, Vivo and others rumoured to be launching with 60MP sensors soon. So chances are those phones would use this new Sony IMX686 cmos sensor. For sure, the default shooting mode on those phones coming up with this sensor would be 4-in-1 Super Pixel 15MP.  We can expect the not yet announced, but for sure coming soon OnePlus 8 will also feature IMX686.

Check out the Video links on Weibo here.

I have been using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a while now with my Ubuntu 20.04. Everything worked well without any issues until one day the operating system refused to turn on the Bluetooth.

External Monitors are a great addition to any workspace. I have a Full HD Benq one connected with my laptop via HDMI cable to do multi-tasking. What I don't like about this setup is the external screen is still very bright even after setting it to the lowest possible setting via physical buttons present on the monitor. Changing brightness on the Laptop doesn't affect the brightness of the external monitor. However, In Ubuntu, you can adjust the brightness level of any connected monitor by opening up a terminal/command line and entering a few comments. Xrandr is the command we would be using to achieve this.
