Samsung Galaxy S5 may not come with OIS camera

By Leave a Comment

galaxy-s5 The next generation of the Galaxy S may be the most prominent yet, but one big feature may be missed out by Samsung on the camera, OIS. Short for optical image stabilisation, this is the next step in making mobile cameras as powerful as a more expensive point-and-shoot.

The LG G2 and some other devices already have OIS and the difference is pretty remarkable when it comes to having a stable image. The quality of the photo doesn’t really change that much, but the precision and stabilisation improves massively with this feature.

This feature was almost on the Galaxy Note 3 according to some rumors prior to release, but Samsung scrapped it due to not having the necessary components and scope to actually add the feature, it may be the same case for the Galaxy S5.

Samsung’s small problem when adding features is they need to be able to scale the production above their target range of sales, for the Galaxy S5 this may be fifty million units in one quarter. This means features that are new and not exactly the most readily available cannot be implemented.

Another example of this is the fingerprint sensor Samsung was apparently thinking about adding to the Galaxy Note 3, but since the scale of that device needed to be around 20 million a quarter, they could not work to make that number viable on the time they had to implement.

We are not sure if the Galaxy S5 will have a fingerprint scanner, our gut instinct is yes or in some way Samsung will upgrade security. Apple has obviously shown the demand with TouchID and shown they can scale this project to the mass-market.

OIS is not the biggest feature we are desperate for on the Galaxy S5, the metal body, higher-resolution display and new possible software enhancements are more exciting and more relevant to a users experience and love of the smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S5 to come with 16MP OIS camera

By Leave a Comment

galaxy-s5 Samsung may be having some problems with their 16MP camera development and getting enough OIS units for the Galaxy Note 3. News from SamMobile says Samsung will drop plans to add a larger camera onto the phablet because of shortages.

This means the first smartphone to get the 16MP camera with OIS technology will be the Galaxy S5, the new flagship from Samsung apparently coming sometime mid-2014, the same as the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4.

Samsung has got better at smartphone cameras throughout the years, the Galaxy S4 has an impressive sensor but Samsung’s slapdash software makes taking a photo with their modes an odd and unreliable experience.

The increase in megapixels and introduction of OIS to the Galaxy S line will not be the only difference on the Galaxy S5. The new flagship is set to be the first smartphone from Samsung with a full metal build, skipping away from the cheap plastic.

Samsung needs to seriously content with HTC and Apple when it comes to design now, even though the Galaxy S4 will probably go on to sell 30 – 50 million units this year alone, the HTC One is making good sales on Android and many still class the iPhone as a better experience simply because of the design.

Knowing Samsung, the Galaxy S5 will also come with the top of the line specs. This means a whole new processor, possibly from Samsung, possibly from Qualcomm, Nvidia or MediaTek. 3GB of RAM will be commonplace by 2014 and all providers will be looking to add that amount of RAM to the smartphone.

The Galaxy S5 will also come with 128GB and even 256GB storage options, we heard recently Samsung was working on new flash memory for their smartphones, that could increase the storage by tenfold without changing the size. This and the battery sizes will be much bigger, possibly hitting 500omAh.
