Samsung to be working on a 18-24MP camera for their upcoming flagships

As we know, Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge come with just 12MP main shooters but they are supported by excellent dual-pixel autofocus technology that can produce very beautiful shots. Moreover, recently, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge camera has been chosen as the best in the world by DxOMark, “the trusted industry standard for camera and lens image quality measurements and ratings.” Well, we thought the same method would be applied to the upcoming Samsung models this year, but maybe not.

It has been said that Samsung is working on a CMOS camera sensor with a pretty large size of 1/1.7″ and a lens with wide f/1.4 aperture. Accordingly, the new Samsung’s sensor will be able to could be create pics with quality ranging from 18 to 24 megapixels. Wow, that’s impressive news to note! Besides, such a large camera sensor can help get more “light information” and then give us “more detailed and less noisy images.”

In addition, it will perform better in the low-light conditions. Nonetheless, there is one small downside you need to note. Having a physically larger sensor means fitting somewhere “inside the already crammed up phones” can be difficult. Let’s see how Samsung will solve this problem.

What device will get such an interesting sensor?

So, those are some main points about the 18-24MP camera with large 1/1.7″ sensor and f/1.4 lens Samsung may be developing now. As a result, we have a thought that it will probably be used for the firm’s upcoming flagships. Say, Samsung Galaxy Note 6? Possible, because the handset has been mentioned to boast up to 6GB RAM and a powerful processor. Then, a new kind of snapper will complete its specs. Do you agree? Share with us your opinions!
