While Samsung is preparing for the Galaxy Note III launch event, which is scheduled for September 4, rumours about the successor to Samsung's flagship smartphone, Galaxy S4, have started surfacing. According to a report from South Korea's Electronic Times News, the Galaxy S5 will come equipped with a 16 megapixel camera.

The Galaxy S5 is rumoured to have the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) function. If the report is to be believed, Samsung earlier planned to include the OIS function in the Galaxy Note III, but due to problems with parts supply, the plan was deferred.

"The OIS function is implemented in the auto focus (AF) actuator, but the supply of the OIS AF actuator is not smooth yet. Korea's Hysonic and Jahwa Electronics and Japan's Mitsumi are the only companies which successfully developed the OIS AF actuator. However, the OIS AF production capacity of Korean companies will be greatly increased early next year," says the report.

Samsung is expected to complete the development of the 16-mega-pixel camera module by the end of this year, and is likely to launch the Galaxy S5 early next year.
