Korean media outlet TheElec report revealed that the OIS function is expected to expand to all models of the Galaxy A series next year after being installed on some Galaxy A series models in order to strengthen the competitiveness of mid-range smartphones.

In addition, the report also pointed out that all the upcoming 2022 Galaxy A series smartphones will support OIS (optical image stabilization). Reports suggest that in the price of a single camera module of about $10, the image sensor and lens account for 70%, and the OIS and actuator account for 20%.

OIS is generally combined with an actuator and installed on the camera module. The price of an OIS-based lens is 15% more expensive than AF (Auto Focus). Therefore, the average selling price of camera modules is expected to rise by about 3%.
