Samsung is working on a new camera sensor, and once it finds its way into a next-gen Galaxy S-series device, it could help alleviate some of the brand’s problems with shutter speed.
As reported by Sisa Journal (via @jukan05 on Twitter), Samsung is in the process of developing a “global shutter-level image sensor” meant to replace the rolling shutter method used in most smartphone cameras. As specified in this report, any sensor that relies on global shutter immediately captures data with every pixel at once, rather than relying on sequentially-based pixel lines, but it does so at the cost of resolution. If you’re capturing with every pixel at once, the amount of data captured simultaneously can cause processing slowdown and other issues.
Samsung, however, believes it’s developed around that.
