This, naturally, includes the upcoming Galaxy S5
and Note 4, so what can we expect from the cameras on those devices?
According to the same publication two weeks ago, Sony and Samsung's LSI
division itself, are fighting to be the suppliers of 16 MP camera module
for the Galaxy S5.
Sony has established itself
as the go-to company for mobile camera sensors, around which
manufacturers build their own modules, providing them with the optical
image stabilization suspension in some cases, and the likes. Its sensors
can be found in all the current top handsets like the LG G2, Nexus 5, iPhone 5S, and even Samsung's Galaxy S4 and Note 3.
Samsung LSI will have the advantage of the home turf, though, and it recently introduced the ISOCELL mobile camera technology
that promises better exposure and less blur, so the scales might tip in
its favor. So far we've only had 13 MP modules with OIS tech in the
Android land, so going 16 MP will have to be a new sensor tech.
In
fact, the Korean publication claims that Samsung has already ordered
181 million optically stabilized 16 MP modules, though it doesn't
specify whether to Sony or to its LSI subdivision. This, however, means
we might get them in other premium models, perhaps the rumored exclusive
F line, too.
