A few hours ago, a well-known computer news leaker on Twitter left everyone speechless by launching the following tweet in which he gave juicy information about a new processor development by the Korean brand Samsung.
In this publication we could see that Samsung would be planning to launch a mobile processor built in 14 nanometers compatible with photographic lenses of up to 144 megapixels. Samsung recently, in collaboration with one of its great rivals, Xiaomi, had launched the Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX, a sensor for mobile phone cameras that had 108 megapixels and that the Chinese brand installed in its recent Xiaomi Mi Note 10, Here you can read an extensive analysis and that came out with no little controversy, having a much higher price than what the brand is accustomed to.
In the same tweet, Ice Universe presents a couple of infographics in which it reflects the upward trend in the number of megapixels that we can find in mobile camera sensors. The new Samsung sensor would have a density of more than 100 million pixels, which would mean a marked improvement in the images taken, especially in relation to sharpness and the possibility of making cuts and zooms on the image. This new processor would also be compatible with FinFET technology, which would help optimize the sensor's power consumption, making it use less battery when using it.
Not much more is known about this new processor compatible with the 180 megapixel sensor but we can speculate that it may make an appearance in the next Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus. The new flagship of the Korean brand would make an appearance on February 18. We are, therefore, two months away from knowing if, as we have seen in some renderings, it will come equipped with that peculiar rear camera design, a total of five lenses that could house, in the main one, this gigantic new sensor. We will report back from February 18 to see if we can really see this new processor from Samsung or if we will have to wait for the new Note family.
