Samsung Galaxy S7 may sport a new 20MP camera sensor

Just this week we discovered rumors stating that Samsung’s new Galaxy S7 flagship may launch ahead of when it normally does. Today, judging for a PDF document, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S7 may sport an upgraded 20MP camera.

Samsung is aiming at January as a possible announcement for its upcoming Galaxy S7 flagship. So far there have been numerous rumors regarding which processor the device will use, display size, fordable technology, a dual-camera setup and now it seems that a 20MP camera sensor may be included.

Samsung usually saves it to the S-lineup to up the megapixel count on its smartphones, while the Note series puts more emphasis on software rather than hardware. This makes the Galaxy S7 the likely time Samsung will debut its newest 20MP sensor. According to the leaked document, the sensor sports 1.0 micron-sized pixels. It will also support a new reduced power draw as a result of the company’s new 28nm process. The camera sensor will also likely bring further enhancements to color accuracy and improvements to low-light shots, something Samsung has taken very seriously over recent years. Best of all, this could be the time Samsung implements its new technology making the sensor slimmer thus possibly eliminating a rear protruding camera. But don’t get your hopes up. The technology may still be a ways away.

What are you hoping for in the next generation Galaxy smartphone?
