24 MP is a bit high
What about the aperture!
74% body to ratio that no upgrade!

    Dear Samsung

    Please boost the battery a bit. (3500mah)
    Make some opstions between the zoom lens and wide angle lens.
    The same phone but the client can choose zoom or wide angle lens.
    Gorilla glass would be great
    Usb type c with some fast charging
    When doing these thins you wil have alot of clients including me.

        There is no smartphone with perfection yet!! Even flagship phone lack something or the other in every other individuals opinion. OP6 lacks IP68 rating or xyz phones. It's not about any brand I'm complaining but just sharing thoughts of others on every phone which is listed on the Gsmarena website.

        This might not be 100% true but still a good go through info.

          On the tripple camera.
          Several people have asked why not use the wide angle for Bokeh effect.
          Probably, like on LG phones, the Wide angle is a fixed focus module. Meaning that there is no way to offset the focus of that one, in relation to the main camera.
          The Bokeh, is going to be a software effect, the sensors used here are so small, and the only way then to achieve bokeh, is by using a long tele, but that would only work for some macro shots, if at all.
          The use of a depth sensor, may help the software figure out the difference between the main object and the background, compared to having to work with two images from the same sensor, taken in succession with different focus points (the way the Pixel series does it, from my understanding).
          We can however expect the flagship version of tripple camera set-up to actually have a proper tele sensor, that is not used only for depth. (we may even see that on another A series before the next flagship).

          I've said this many times before, I would much prefer if phone makers started using two main sensors, in a stereoscopic setup, instead of using "ultrawide" modules. (there are many advantages, better object separation, actual 3D output, and both sensors would be fully features, with auto-focus, and possibly OIS). Even better if they fit at least another sensor in between the two, for additional data. It could be a tele, for close up of details. It could be a sensor with bigger pixels for better low light capturing. Or a black and white sensor even. The output of all 3 sensors could then be combined.

          When it comes to 3D, we now have "VR" glasses in many forms, to actually view 3D, in a way that is many times better than 3D screens or using "3D glasses" combined with a typical screen.

            Cool if this got 3 cameras on the back then the S10 will have 3 cameras on the back :)

              People who buy midrange devices know they get what they pay for. Want a stutter-free experience, buy a flagship/flagship killer.

                The only deal breakfast for me is the USB B type, i will never buy a phone without USB c again

                  This thing still looks like an Optimus G - which is a good thing, one of my fav design, I won't ever buy samsung though.

                                        After seeing the specs and the rumored price (349€), I believe it is quite a good deal, especially coming from Samsung. USB type-B isn't a dealbreaker, neither is the 3300 mAh battery, processing power is enough for the average user. What I am most interested in now is the quality of pictures that'll come out of that triple camera setup, I hope it'll be very good
