Samsung to supply camera sensor to Google for upcoming Pixel 6
Starting this year, several smartphone makers have launched their latest flagship handsets including Samsung Galaxy S21, Xiaomi Mi 11, OnePlus 9, and many more. At the same time, some OEMs are still preparing to introduce their new premium phones as per their schedule.
However, Google is expected to unveil its new Pixel 6 devices in the near future. And a piece of new information coming from a Twitter post reveals that the US tech giant is in talks with the South Korean tech giant to bring Samsung’s camera sensor with its upcoming flagship lineup.
Recently, XDA Developers’ Editor-in-Chief, Mishaal Rahman has shared some code snippets, which are enough to confirm the existence of the Samsung camera sensor in the next Pixel smartphone.
Mishaal said that these snippets were discovered in GCam by a modder and this information is based on the fact Google added GBRG bayer pattern support for the Super Res Zoom algorithm.
A lot of Samsung image sensors have this pattern, so it's possible a future Pixel phone's main image sensor (or telephoto) will use a Samsung image sensor. Super Res Zoom in GCam 8.2 now works on Samsung image sensors without root.

Previously, it was reported that Google Pixel 6 is likely to equip a new camera lens instead of a Sony IMX363 sensor. It is worth mentioning that Google has been getting the main camera sensor from Sony since the Pixel 2.
Moreover, it is also worth noting that Super Res Zoom in GCam 8.2 can now be used on Samsung image sensors without root. However, this data is totally based on technical standards and we will be getting more new information on this matter in the coming days.
We’ll keep you posted whenever new info surfaces on the web.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE smartphone may still launch for consumers despite rumors of cancellation. It was rumored that the company may use Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip to maintain cost, but it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore.
According to SamMobile sources, Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will launch in the fourth quarter of 2023. Instead of going ahead with Qualcomm, the company is reportedly considering using Exynos 2200 processor in its next affordable flagship internationally.
Launch
The S23 FE could go official in the fourth quarter of this year, probably in September/October. It’s a great timeframe as it falls between the launch of the Galaxy Z5 foldables and the next year’s Galaxy S24 flagships. Notably, the vendor has released the S20 FE in September 2020.
Processor
Exynos 2200 processor is used in the Galaxy S22 series and shipped in select regions including Europe. In the rest of the world, the devices were released with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor as Samsung was about to ditch it from its flagship lineup.
The report reveals that the S23 FE would use Exynos 2200 chipset in all markets including the United States. It was the company’s first SoC, which used a custom Xclipse (AMD) GPU for competitive graphics performance, but it didn’t happen at all.
Camera
The Galaxy S23 FE may also get an upgrade in the primary camera, from a conventional 12-megapixel to a 50-megapixel sensor. The Galaxy S21 FE and S20 FE come with a 12-megapixel main camera on the rear side along with an ultrawide and a telephoto.
More on S23 FE
The next Fan Edition could get model number: SM-S711x, where the S belongs to the Galaxy S series, while the number “7” shows it’s a non-flagship tier device similar to S10 Lite (G770x) and Note 10 Lite (N770x).
Apart from this, it’s expected that the device may be available in two memory versions: 128GB and 256GB paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Moreover, it could be packed with a 4,500 mAh battery that could be rechargeable with 25-watt fast charging.
