Samsung has been quite busy upgrading the resolutions of its smartphone cameras this year, with the likes of the 108MP cameras introduced in the Galaxy S20 and Note20 series. Reports suggest that Samsung is planning to increase camera resolutions by nearly 6 times to a whopping 600 MP resolution camera.
The presentation has got Samsung’s plans for its ISOCELL sensor, which would have a huge bump in physical size. The sensor would have 0.8µm pixels, like what’s found on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra’s 108MP sensor.
Because of this, the new 1/0.57″ sensor, in its current state, would take up roughly 12% of a smartphone’s back panel. Additionally, the sensor currently measures 22mm in thickness, making it not ideal for a smartphone with only 9mm thick.
It’s unlikely that Samsung will bring a 600MP sensor any time soon. In the meantime, Oppo might have a solution, as a patent recently cropped up for a removable camera module. Here’s our coverage on Oppo’s detachable camera system
A detachable camera module could be the kind of modularity that could help Samsung in dealing with the size problem.
