Samsung aims that its next flagship device, the Galaxy S7, will have a more powerful camera than the Galaxy S6.
Rumors are saying that the Galaxy S7 will come with a 20MP camera along with the company's brand new ISOCELL sensor. If this is true, it would surely be an upgrade to the 16MP shutter that is now found in the Galaxy S6.
If the 20MP camera for the Galaxy S7 seemed too much to handle, it's actually nothing compared to the 30MP camera that is rumored to be fitted into the Galaxy S7 Edge. The device will reportedly have the upgraded sensor on its rear while the front will bear a 10MP snapper. Moreover, Samsung is preparing to launch a new GigaPixel feature that will allow users to shoot images with increased accuracy and clarity.
Samsung is allegedly in talks with Sony into convincing the latter to allow its upcoming S7 to have the IMX300 sensor which is found in the Xperia Z5 trio of handsets. Apparently, the Korean manufacturer is so impressed with the camera sensor that it wants to use it with its new flagship.
There's no information however, on whether Samsung will use two different sensors interchangeably. Users may have their Galaxy S7 devices equipped with either a sensor from Samsung or from Sony which may also depend on the region and model.
Sony touts the Xperia Z5 to have the feature known as "Hybrid Autofocus."
"Our best camera phone yet is a master of speed and accuracy," said Sony. "Combined with 23 megapixels and five times more powerful image zoom, Xperia Z5 is able to capture even the most fleeting moments. In sparking clarity. On the first try."
Sony had intended to keep the sensor as an exclusive feature to its own line of Xperia handsets. However, there is a possibility that the company will change its stand knowing for a fact that Samsung will highly likely sell millions of units of the Galaxy S7. After all, its mobile camera sensor business is one of the most profitable areas it enjoys right now.
Earlier, it was also rumored that the Galaxy S7 will be released in the second half of 2015. However, speculations are saying that mass production will begin in December with the release slated to occur in January. Until then, users will just have to keep an eye on what type of camera will come with the next flagship from Samsung.
