We can easily conclude that Samsung’s successor to its flagship series will be called the Galaxy S22. Recently, some sources have revealed important information regarding the upcoming phone.
Today, the famous digital blogger Ice Universe, who is primarily known for Samsung leaks, revealed that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will again lack the 200MP lens. Instead, the third generation of a 108MP main lens will be used.
Currently, Samsung uses the HM3 sensor on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which uses the Super PD Plus phase focusing function. Adding a microlens above the phase focusing point increases the focusing speed by 50%.
From the news mentioned above, we can expect that the Galaxy S22 Ultra may continue to use the HM3 sensor. However, with the new ISP and software algorithm tuning, its imaging performance is worth looking forward to.
Some reports also claimed that Samsung would collaborate with Olympus to make a solid camera setup for its Galaxy S22 series.
If we look at other brands, Huawei has been collaborating with Leica for a long time, making Huawei’s smartphones ranked first in the DxOMark rating. This year, OnePlus also collaborated with Hasselblad to manufacture the OnePlus 9 series camera, and now Samsung is also copying the trend.
The newer generation of Qualcomm’s flagship chipset series will also be used in the Galaxy S22 series. The chipset is expected to be named Snapdragon 895 this time. It is expected to feature the new ARM Cortex-X2 core.
