A leak suggests Samsung has a 600MP camera in the works, but needs to shrink it down before launching it.
Samsung is seemingly looking to take the megapixel war to another level, as the company appears to have a 600MP camera in the works. That’s not new information, as earlier in the year we learnt that the South Korean company had been busy developing a 600MP sensor, but a leaked presentation slide suggests it’s still in development – and outlines some of the issues Samsung is facing. Shared by Ice Universe (a leaker with a reasonable track record), the slide, which appears to have come from an internal Samsung presentation, reveals that the massive new sensor could allow for zooming in on 4K and 8K videos while retaining video quality. But packing that many megapixels in is easier said than done, as based on this leak the camera module would currently occupy around 12% of a smartphone’s rear, and worse still there would be a 22mm protruding camera bump.
