1st at MWC, but details around the ‘next big
thing’ just keep on coming. The latest whisper on
the grapevine reveal that the Galaxy S6 will
allegedly feature a 16-megapixel camera with a
Sony IMX240 sensor. This is the same 16-
megapixel sensor used on at least some Galaxy
Note 4 units, and measures a larger-than-
average, 1/2.6 inches.
The information comes from SamMobile, and - if
true - puts all doubts about whether Samsung
was going to use a 16- or a 20-megapixel sensor
to rest.
Despite featuring the same sensor as in the Note
4, the quality of the images is said to have
improved thanks to multiple tweaks to the lens
and the processing algorithms and other software
on the Galaxy S6. We’ve already heard what
should be the inevitable, the inclusion of a new
manual camera mode where you get to control in-
depth camera settings such as shutter speed
along with earlier available controls over white
balance and ISO.
Samsung has dropped an official hint that
emphasizes how huge of an upgrade to the camera
this is expected to be, so we would not be
surprised to see a wider-aperture lens, or just
one with sharper, better-looking output.
