According to a tweet from known tipster @FrontTron, the South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy S22 will include a triple camera setup on the rear. Its primary sensor is a 50 megapixel shooter, paired with a 12 megapixel ultra wide angle lens and a 12 megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. These camera specifications might also be seen in the Galaxy S22+ model as well, although, we have no way of knowing for sure at the moment.
Interestingly, this implies that Samsung is not aiming on releasing its flagship with a camera over 100 megapixels, which has been seen in certain handsets in recent times. In other words, the company might be focusing on improving the photographic capabilities of the sensors rather than simply chasing high resolutions for marketing. There wasn’t a major improvement in camera quality between the Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy S21 lineup, so the Galaxy S22 might arrive with a major bump in camera performance.
However, the tipster also stated that we should take this news with a pinch of salt. Meaning, this is still an unconfirmed leak. Previously, we had reported on a few leaks, which included another leak shared by FronTron regarding the Galaxy S22 and S22+ using a plastic back panel. Similarly, multiple sources also revealed that the display sizes of the upcoming flagship smartphone series.
