World’s first smartphone with 64MP camera is coming, and it’s likely going to be from Samsung

Samsung recently anunced world’s first 64MP smartphone camera sensor – Samsung GW1 sensor. Samsung’s 64MP GW1 sensor works on same principle as its 48MP GM1 and 32MP GD1 sensors – effectively producing sharper, more detailed 16MP photos in low light, and using software interpolation to produce high resolution 64MP photos as and when required. Samsung has confirmed that smartphones equipped with its 64MP GW1 sensor will start shipping sometime in second half of this year. A new report w suggests that Samsung may kick off proceedings, launching first 64MP camera smartphone in Q2 2019. 

Samsung is said to be working on an updated version of its recently launched Galaxy A70, calling it simply Galaxy A70S. Galaxy A70S is said to be first smartphone in world to come with a 64MP main camera. Galaxy A70, to recall, uses Samsung’s 32MP GD1 sensor on front, while on back it has three cameras - 32MP sensor (which is again, same GD1 sensor), an 8MP ultra-wide sensor (with 120-degree field-of-view) and a 5MP sensor for depth sensing aka portrait photography. 

Galaxy A70S, with a 64MP main camera, should ideally kick things up a tch. Sly, that’s all information we have about Galaxy A70S for w although chances are Samsung may retain many aspects of original Galaxy A70 here – furr improving on cameras to possibly compete with OnePlus 7 that ships with a 48MP main camera. 

Galaxy A70 sells in India at a price of Rs 28,990. It comes with a 6.7-inch 1080p+ Super AMOLED display - its 20:9 aspect ratio is a first for any Samsung phone. phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor with 6GB RAM and 128GB stor which is also expandable. dual SIM phone runs Android 9 Pie-based One UI. phone furr packs a sizeable 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging through USB -C. Galaxy A70 is also first Galaxy A phone to fully support Samsung Pay. 

Samsung has come up with a new strategy with regards to its 2019 Galaxy A phones. While Galaxy A phones in past were mere ‘Lite’ variants of more premium Galaxy S phones, new- Galaxy A phones are different. With m, Samsung is trying to experiment with new and unique features never seen before in any or Samsung phone. Based on feedback, it is n incorporating se features into its more expensive models. Which is why a Galaxy A70S with a 64MP camera won’t be very surprising.     

report also suggests that Samsung may t use its 64MP sensor in upcoming Galaxy te 10 – which is also due to arrive in second half of this year.
