One of its biggest highlights is the presence of Sony’s IMX586 sensor which is the world’s first mobile camera with a resolution of 48-megapixels. Of course, more pixels don’t necessarily mean better picture quality since smaller pixels can, in fact, let in more noise under dimly lit scenarios and the new IMX586’s 0....

What’s spatial about it? It’s surround sound on your AirPods Pro (kinda sorta) Spatial Audio is basically a fancy name (technology, terminology…sigh!) for something similar to surround sound.
