Samsung is likely to make an aggressive push in 2020 with an overhaul of its flagship camera setup. The upcoming Galaxy S11, as well as the Galaxy Fold 2020 clamshell model, is said to feature a large 108MP camera sensor at the back along with a 5x optical zoom setup.
Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones have so far featured decent cameras but they have been far from revolutionary. As compared to Huawei’s periscope cameras or even OPPO’s 10X hybrid zoom tech, this year’s Galaxy smartphones have stuck to a traditional camera setup. But according to a new Bloomberg report, Samsung is going to make some big changes in its flagship camera setup next year.
The report states that the Galaxy S11 and the Galaxy Fold 2020 will feature a large 108MP camera sensor, probably the ISOCELL BRIGHT HMX Samsung sensor at the back. The primary sensor will be further supported by a 5x optical zoom setup on both these devices. In addition to these two sensors, the Galaxy S11 is expected to get two more sensors, including an ultrawide-angle lens and a time-of-flight sensor for depth detection. Both the devices are expected to be launched in February 2020.

2020 will be an important year for Samsung to extend its lead in the smartphone industry. Apple’s upcoming iPhones are expected to feature some revolutionary changes and Samsung’s aggressive camera setup overhaul is likely in response to the changes in the new iPhone cameras.
Next year would also be a good time to leave Huawei behind in the international smartphone market. The Chinese smartphone maker has been chasing Samsung for the past couple of years, waiting to grab the top spot. But without access to Google apps, Huawei’s incredible international growth will definitely be stunted in the coming months. This will likely create a vacuum in the international markets, particularly Europe, and Samsung can conveniently take advantage of this situation with the new Galaxy models in the coming quarters.
