For a few days there has been talk of Samsung Galaxy S22 or the successor of the current Galaxy S21 series that the South Korean company presented last January, with a renewal as well as aesthetic especially technical in the photographic sector. Now the rumors that have arrived on the net only talk about what will be the next photographic step for the top of the range of the company, i.e. what Samsung will aim for next year.
Yes, because the rumors keep talking about an incredible performance leap for the future Galaxy S22 which could even have a sensor capable of taking photos up to 200 megapixels thanks to the collaboration with the historic photographic brand Olympus. In this case, what we are talking about also lies in the technical details of the new photographic sector of the Galaxy S22 which could go towards a camera with stabilizer on the sensor, a direction already taken by Apple with its iPhone 12 Pro Max this year, and which therefore could be replicated by Samsung and Olympus.
Samsung Galaxy S22: will there really be a 200 MPx sensor?
Samsung's new and hypothetical Galaxy S22 will probably shoot at 200 megapixels but, mind you, it won't have a real 200 MP sensor. In this case it would not make sense to physically implement it on a smartphone due to the intrinsic difficulties of the sensor size but also in making the shot file heavier and therefore slower even writing and more difficult archiving.
In fact, however, numbers aside, it is possible that the South Korean company, thanks to the collaboration with Olympus, can actually take photos at 200 MP. As? Using precisely the stabilizer on the sensor. In this case, in fact, Olympus could come to the aid of Samsung with its experience in terms of high resolutions on shots essentially due to the stabilization of the sensor which can meticulously take multiple photos at the same time and then merge them and make a high megapixel shot possible . Clearly in addition to a meticulous work of the smartphone algorithm, a 200 megapixel photo could be possible in advantageous light conditions.
Samsung has got us used to the exaggerated numbers of ''n'' megapixel shots. A high-quality 50 MP sensor already exists and who knows if the company decides to use it in the next Galaxy S22 precisely in conjunction with the collaboration with Olympus to decree a record in smartphone photo shooting. The advantages would be many, from being able to use a 50MP sensor which is certainly more useful than a 108 megapixel which we know is so fashionable in the last period. There would also be the possibility of going to qualitatively better results than now, thanks also to the stabilization of the sensor itself.
