Samsung Develops Slim 8MP Camera Module

Samsung has already given us a mobile camera with 5 megapixels and that’s not something new. To take it a step further they decided to add a 3X optical zoom lens to the mix. Given the fact they seem to want to take the mobile camera to new levels, their latest attempt was the world's ultra-thin CMOS camera phone module.

The module itself has dimensions of 28mm × 15.3mm × 8.5mm, which is nothing to sneeze at. With a module like this, we can expect a wider range of features from the next line-up of camera phones like face-detection, better macro and night modes and the like. More importantly, what we can hope to see with this module integrated into a handset is a camera phone with an 8-megapixel resolution. That’s definitely something we’ve been looking forward to for a while now.




The module is a key component of a mobile phone camera and with dimensions like these the next camera phone we could see from Samsung may not necessarily be as plump as the G810. We can hope.
