Samsung's next-generation flagship, the Galaxy S22, is expected to launch in the first quarter of next year. While its release is still several months away, a new leak has revealed some information regarding the company's premium flagship model for 2022.
Samsung Galaxy S22: will the camera be a downgrade?
According to a tweet from well-known tipster @FrontTron, the South Korean tech giant's Galaxy S22 will include a triple-camera setup on the back. Its main sensor will be a 50 megapixel snapper, paired with a 12 megapixel ultra wide angle lens and a 12 megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. These camera specs may also be present in the Plus model, although we currently have no way of knowing for sure.
Interestingly, this implies that Samsung is not aiming to release its new flagship with a 100+ megapixel camera, as has been the case with phones for the past couple of years.
In other words, the company could focus on improving the photographic capabilities of the sensors rather than adopting a high-resolution chipset.
In fact, there hasn't been a big improvement in camera quality between the Galaxy S20 series and the 2021 range, so the Galaxy S22 could come with a noticeable boost in camera performance.
However, the whistleblower also said we should take this news with a grain of salt. This means that it is an unconfirmed leak. Previously, we had reported some rumors that included another FronTron shared leak regarding the Galaxy S22 and S22 +. According to the insider, in fact, the new series of products will use a plastic rear panel instead of glass. Likewise, multiple sources have also revealed that the display size of the next flagship smartphone series.
Nevertheless, the partnership with Olympus is hypothesized for the lenses present on board the new models: will it be true?
