Next Samsung Flagship To Feature 108MP Sensor and Periscope Lens

Next year’s Samsung S11 model is expected to be a game changer for the company in terms of photography. This is as reports shared online states that Samsung is set to feature both a 108MP sensor for the main camera and a 5x periscope lens for telephoto.

The 108MP sensor is already in use by the Mi Mix Alpha, and the periscope lens for the telephoto sensor most likely be inspired by ones already on OPPO phones.

Like modern smartphones, the telephoto lens is more about capturing details to enhance crop of the main sensor, in this case the 108MP sensor. When binned, the 108MP sensor will output 27MP images that is expected to trounce any sensor that Samsung has created so far.

Spring 2020 is the expected launch date for the new S series model, and it is expected that the two cameras will be front and centre as the flagship feature for 2020’s flagship design.
