Samsung Galaxy S22 series phones may not feature ToF (Time-of-Flight) camera tech
Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy S21 series, which consists of three premium smartphones – Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra. These devices feature the most powerful processors, the latest software system, and truly premium camera capabilities.
However, the company officially launched this year’s S series and won’t launch the Galaxy Note 21 phones this year. Moving on, the Samsung fans are now thinking about the next year’s Galaxy S series phones as they are rumored to equip more powerful camera lenses with the help of Olympus.
Now according to Korean Media, Samsung could not bring the ToF sensor with the Galaxy S22 series smartphones, which will also launch in the first quarter of 2022. The report further suggests that the company has internally reviewed the application of the Galaxy S22 and decided to not install the ToF camera.
An industry insider who is close to Samsung said:
“Consumer response to the current camera system without ToF is not bad, so we decided not to add ToF to our next work.”
ToF (Time of Flight):
For your better information, ToF tech identifies three-dimensional effect, movement, and spatial information of an object by calculating the distance by the time the light emitted toward the subject bounces and returns.
It is worth mentioning that Samsung had installed the ToF sensors with the Galaxy S10, Galaxy Note 10, and Galaxy S20 series phones. Moving on, the company removed the ToF camera from the Galaxy Note 20 series, which was launched back in August 2020.
An industry insider explained:
“We will not add anything because we can meet the consumer’s eye level even with a general camera that does not have ToF.”
Aside from this, Samsung’s decision could affect the system LSI division as well. It is said that the System LSI business unit developed the ToF image sensor last year and promoted the supply of the wireless business unit to Samsung.
Besides, Samsung announced its first ToF sensor called ‘Isocell Vision 33D’ back in November 2020. This product supports 7 micrometers (㎛) pixels and VGA (640X480) resolution has the capability to measure subjects or objects from 20cm to 5m away.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may not feature a stacked battery and 65W charging. Last April, it was reported that the company is developing advanced battery tech inspired by EVs for its mobile portfolio. However, the plan to bring it to Galaxy reportedly pushed to Galaxy S26 Ultra.
According to a rumor, Samsung canceled bringing stacked battery tech and 65W charging to Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, it is planned for Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will arrive in 2026. The next Ultra flagship would continue 5000mAh conventional battery and 45W charging support.
Stacked battery tech would mean offering a higher energy density with a different arrangement of the cells. It will unlock even longer battery life for the Galaxy flagships. Meanwhile, Samsung fans won’t see advanced batteries in the flagship arriving next year.
The tipster mentioned that Samsung is skipping the new battery and faster charging in the S25 Ultra to reduce the cost. We’ve seen Chinese manufacturers bringing over 5000mAh battery to their recent flagships, however, Samsung still offers longer battery life.
As Snapdragon going more expensive this year, the South Korean tech giant considering expanding its Exynos to more Galaxies. The Galaxy S25 Ultra may use Snapdragon internationally could also be the reason behind the delay in stacked battery tech.
It seems that it was in the plan, but Samsung changed its mind, wanting to reduce costs and put the stacked battery and 65w charging speed in the S26U.
