Sony and Samsung LSI are reportedly vying for the supply of the camera sensor for the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone. This is interesting, because it shows Sony’s prowess in the camera sensor technology. Samsung has to fight for its own product. Over the years, Sony has come up with some of the best camera sensor technologies in the world, but the Japanese company wouldn’t have it very easy this time. Samsung’s ISOCELL camera sensors could give it competition to some extent.
That said, Samsung has reportedly been planning to install a 16 mega pixel camera in the Galaxy S5 flagship model, while the ISOCELL technology is limited to 13 mega pixel ranges right now. Samsung may decide to go with its own technology in order to cut costs etc. but simply putting in a high sensor mega pixel count may not be useful anymore. With cameras like the 41 mega pixel Nokia PureView doing the rounds in the market, Samsung has to buckle up in the camera department.
Speculations about the Samsung Galaxy S5 have been rife with the device being expected to be Samsung’s first device with a full metal body. Moreover, the Galaxy S5 is also rumoured to be sporting an eye sensor to top the Apple Touch ID sensor, which was launched recently with the iPhone 5.
