Samsung’s next flagship smartphone may launch with a 108MP primary camera paired with a 5x optical zoom lens. That’s according to a new report coming out of South Korea, which claims the main camera module in the upcoming Galaxy S11 will be a periscope-style unit led by the company’s very own 108MP ISOCELL HMX sensor, which was announced just last month.
In case you don’t know it already, Samsung last month announced the new 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor that it claimed is the world’s first mobile image sensor to go beyond 100 megapixels. The 0.8μm image sensor comes with a large 1/1.33-inch size, which lets it absorb more light than standard sensors in low-lit settings, resulting in better images in the dark. Its pixel-merging ‘Tetracell’ technology also allows it to imitate big-pixel sensors, producing brighter 27MP images.
