Samsung in talks with Sony to bring the Z5's camera sensor to its new Galaxy S7

The Galaxy S7 will come forward this year to almost have it shortly after we are welcoming the new year with those twelve grapes that we will eagerly consume so that we do not lose the sound of the chimes. In those days we will surely receive the good news about the virtues of the Galaxy S7 that will continue to improve what is seen in the S6, a terminal that has finally received the treatment that was expected by the Korean manufacturer and this is evident in the criticism received from both the media and the Android community itself.

For this new Galaxy S7, Samsung is in agreements to incorporate the camera sensor that has the brand new Sony Xperia Z5. The IMX300 sensor is a very important part software that has apparently impressed Samsung so much that, if everything goes as agreed, we would see it implemented in the new Galaxy S7 for the month of January 2016. We already learned from DxOMark how the IMX300 sensor is the top sensor of cameras, since it is the best they have tried of all those that have passed through their hands and there are many of them by the way.

Sony and its IMX300 sensor

I have to mention that last week we learned how the Japanese company had achieved positive profit results due to the sale of its sensors, so this option of being able to reach an agreement with Samsung to incorporate the IMX300 as the camera lens of the next Galaxy S7 can have a very good profit. Another thing is that they want to save this sensor for their brand new Xperia Z5 and have the best photography from an Android device, although it must be said that post-processing is where Sony's fail in their Xperia Z5.

The IMX300 sensor has spectacular specifications in certain terms, DxOMark has praised its great capacity for video recording, a feature that puts it in a position that no one can come close to at the moment. We are talking about a camera sensor that has 25 megapixels and a 192-point hybrid autofocus system, which allows the Xperia Z5 in a focus time of 0.03 seconds.

From ISOCELL to IMX300

This sensor would be the culprit of get the 20 MP camera out of the way from Samsung itself with its ISOCELL sensor, which was going to be an update of the existing 16 MP of the Galaxy S6 and that is giving incredible results. So a Galaxy S7 with Sony's amazing hardware with its IMX300 could have simply print results that we would be very eager to hear about.

Anyway, any of the sensors that Samsung incorporates on your new Galaxy S7 it will surely give very good results. His own, the 20 MP ISOCELL, is built on a 28nm processor, and features a new RWB color pattern to improve light sensitivity and improve the noise ratio in low light conditions.

What is clear to us is that if Samsung is determined to incorporate that IMX300 It will be for something, the only thing that gives us a bit of anger is that Sony has not been able, at the moment, to take full advantage of it in low light conditions or what is the post-processing of images. What is spectacular is in the daytime images and that video recording that raises to a very high level what can be done through a mobile device.

For the rest, we can only wait for the confirmation of the final agreement between Sony and Samsung and the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update with a possible new camera interface for the Xperia Z5 that includes those best ones in the post-processing to take full advantage of that great IMX300 camera sensor.
