Samsung Will Soon Launch The Galaxy A70s With 64 MP Camera

Korean electronics giant, Samsung is planning on launching yet another device in the Galaxy A lineup. The upcoming device will be called the Galaxy A70s and as the name suggests, it is a specced up variant of the Galaxy A70 which was launched in the month of March. Noteworthy, it will be the world’s first smartphone to feature a 64 MP resolution camera. It will incorporate the Samsung ISOCELL GW1 camera sensor which was unveiled earlier this month. 

ISOCELL GW1 Sensor Explained

The ISOCELL GW1 sensor has a small 0.8 micrometre size pixel which is considerably smaller than most camera sensors found on modern smartphones. The pixel size of a camera sensor determines the amount of light it can absorb which directly affect the exposure levels in images captured. Interestingly, the ISOCELL GW1 uses a technology called Tetracell which combines the image data and light from four 16 MP sensors that can produce the impressive image quality that Samsung boasts of.

In addition to the 64 MP camera sensor, the Galaxy A70s is likely to have similar specifications as the original device. For reference, the specifications of Galaxy A70 are as follows:
