After just unveiled its 108MP camera-sporting Galaxy S20 Ultra flagship smartphone in February, Samsung is reportedly hard at work on its next major smartphone camera evolution – a new rumor suggests that the South Korean manufacturer is readying an immersive 150MP Nonacell camera sensor for release at the end of the year. As spotted on the Korean technology site Clien.net by Twitter user Sleepy Kuma, the rumor states that Samsung is developing a 150MP 'Nonacell' sensor that's almost 1-inch in size. The report also suggests that Chinese phone makers Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo are all looking to incorporate Samsung's new sensor in their upcoming flagships, with Xiaomi set to be first to adopt the 150MP beast in the fourth quarter of 2020. In addition, Clien's report also states (via Google translation) that "Oppo and Vivo are developing with the goal of combining (Samsung's Nonacell sensor) with the Snapdragon 875 in the first quarter of next year." Now, since the sensor is said to depend on Nonacell technology, it should combine nine pixels into one to achieve higher light absorption. And because the sensor is said to have a resolution of 150-megapixels, the final shots could technically have a pixel count of around 16MP, as opposed to the ISOCELL Bright HM1 sensor, which delivers 12MP shots.
