Samsung May Be Chasing The Magic Behind iPhone’s Video Stabilization – SlashGear

Samsung’s patent application mentions “an image stabilization assembly including a first substrate and a movable member that includes an image sensor.” However, this is just a filing, which means the tech might take some time before it’s seen in a` commercially available Samsung-branded smartphone. But rumors suggest that Samsung has been experimenting with it for a while now.

In 2021, it was reported that Samsung was toying with the improved stabilization technique and it just might appear on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. That didn’t happen, as the Galaxy S22 Ultra sticks with the optical image stabilization technology for both the primary and telephoto zoom cameras. Rumors now suggest that the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is expected to launch in the January-February window next year, might finally arrive rocking with the sensor-shift image stabilization gear.

In the meantime, Apple has expanded the stabilization tech to non-Pro iPhones, as well, and has also jumped to the second-gen iteration of sensor-shift tech on the iPhone 14 Pro and its Max version. Samsung is strongly rumored to be upping the pixel game next year. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which had its alleged design schematics leaked a few days ago, might use the in-house ISOCELL HP3 camera sensor which offers a 200-megapixel image resolution.
