Samsung may introduce sensor-shift image stabilization to its future smartphones, according to a new report. The technology compensates for jitters to the image sensor itself, decreasing blur when a shot is taken. Apple first introduced the technology to its iPhone 12 Pro Max’s wide-angle camera. Smartphone makers are always looking to minimize vibrations to improve camera image quality. The likes of Samsung have previously used optical image stabilization (OIS) to tackle this issue.
The device, which goes by the model number SM-7100, looks oddly reminiscent of last year’s Galaxy Alpha, though some have also said it looks similar to this year’s Galaxy S6. It is still unclear as to just what the rear material is made out of: some have reported aluminum (metal) though it often looks reflective and thus glass-like in most photos.
Here as well, looking at the way the back surface reflects light along the perimeter would further lend support to the belief it’s another “glass sandwich.
