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.

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.
