GoPro ‘Mini’ leaks in a nod to the Session cameras of yesterday

GoPro’s rumored Hero 11 Black may not be the only camera the company releases this year. Leaked images shared by WinFuture indicate that GoPro’s preparing a smaller surprise that seems like a modern iteration of the now-discontinued Session action cams. The device, supposedly called the Hero 11 Black Mini, tracks with GoPro’s goals of expanding its camera lineup. It features a large camera sensor on the front alongside a single button for Bluetooth connectivity as well as folding “fingers” on the bottom for mounting.…

The GoPro Hero11 Black will reportedly have a new sensor and an old design

GoPro is reportedly getting ready to launch its next camera, but don’t hold your breath for a big redesign. Instead, according to images and specs first spotted by WinFuture, it appears the GoPro Hero11 Black will look virtually identical to the Hero10, and all the important tweaks will be on the inside. The biggest upgrade sounds like a new sensor, which WinFuture says will be capable of 27-megapixel still images. (The current Hero10 Black, for comparison, shoots 23-megapixel photos.) Video resolution doesn’t sound…

Leaked images of GoPro Hero11 Black show the same old design

It has been almost a full year since the GoPro Hero10 Black was unveiled, so it’s time for a new one. Or new-ish, at least, judging by the leaked images shared by WinFuture. The overall design of the GoPro Hero11 Black appears to be exactly the same – same lens, same front and back displays, same controls and ports. This design dates back to the Hero9 generation, although last year’s model brought a larger sensor and a brand new GP2 chip, which enabled video capture at double the frame rate. …

The maker of premium speakers reported Wednesday afternoon that revenue in the June quarter fell 2% from a year earlier to about $372 million. That turned out to be 11% short of Wall Street’s estimates, and the…

Arguably the leader in the action camera market, GoPro has been consistently iterating its flagship action cameras, which are marketed as its ‘Black' models in each generation.

GoPro Hero 10 Black Review: The Smooth Experience We’ve Been Waiting For

The GoPro Hero 10 Black is the successor to the Hero 9 Black, which launched exactly a year ago. Last year's update introduced a major overhaul to the Hero series in terms of design as well as the sensor, displays, and performance, but in my opinion the user experience was still a bit sluggish and low-light video performance was lacking. The new Hero 10 Black promises to address these very pain points and more, thanks to a more powerful GP2 SoC. It's time to put GoPro's claims to the test and see just how much this new…
