Samsung’s next-generation flagship phone, the Galaxy S23 series, is expected to see camera upgrades, with the oversized Galaxy S23 Ultra in particular expected to bring the latest optical technology to its camera section.
According to TM View, Samsung was granted the Hexa²pixel trademark on July 19, which sounds like the name of the latest technology for the phone’s camera.
According to a previous leak from @IceUniverse, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature a 200-megapixel primary camera, but that sensor has yet to be announced. This will be the first time that the Samsung Galaxy S Ultra series will feature a 200 megapixel main camera and is expected to debut a new sensor. At the same time, this means that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s image power will be significantly improved.
Hexa²pixel’s new trademark “Hexa” means “hexagonal”, which the media says may refer to the six-in-one image readout mode, which adds the charges sensed in adjacent pixels together and reads them out as one pixel, that is, six pixels are combined into one pixel output.
The media said this may refer to the six-in-one image readout mode, which can add the charges sensed in adjacent pixels together and read out in a pixel pattern, that is, six pixels are combined into one pixel output, which can increase the sensitivity by reducing the resolution while keeping the FOV unchanged, thus improving the dark light imaging effect.
That some experts previously predicted that the competition between Samsung and Apple in smartphone cameras will heat up. One of the iPhone 14 camera pixels that Apple plans to release in the second half of 2022 will be increased to 48 million, which is the first time in seven years that Apple has increased the camera pixels.
In addition, Ming-Chi Kuo said on July 9 that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will only be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors, not Samsung’s own Exynos 2300 processor.
