Samsung, soon after the first leaked
details of the camera fitted on the Galax
S6 surfaced, has teased the camera on
its upcoming 2015 flagship model.

Samsung's DongHoon Jang, Senior Vice
President and Head of Camera R&D
Group, in a blog post on Wednesday
talked about how the company has been
working on the cameras used on the
Galaxy series devices and has primarily
focused on the advancements seen on
the flagship models - starting from the
Galaxy S to Galaxy S5.

While talking about the camera on
Galaxy smartphones, Jang vaguely
talked about the Galaxy S6 camera and
said, "We meticulously evaluate every
single facet of our smartphone cameras
by taking over 10,000 photos in every
imaginable lighting environment for
analysis. The same passion and
dedication has been put into building th
cameras for the release of our 2015
flagship model."

Further, teasing the camera on the
upcoming flagship model, he said, "It wil
be intelligent and do all the thinking for
users, allowing them to take amazing
pictures under any conditions, without
having to worry about anything more
than just pressing the shutter button. It
will demonstrate just how far Samsung
has advanced smartphone cameras, an
once again will open the creative side of
our users for new ideas and new
possibilities."

The blog even talked about the first
camera that was fitted on a Samsung
phone. "Fifteen years have passed since
we introduced the cellphone with an
integrated camera. In the year 2000,
Samsung set an industry standard by
integrating the first ever, a 0.3-megapix
camera, into our SCH-V200 model," Jan
said.

In a chart, the blog shows the camera
progress over the years on flagship
Galaxy smartphones including the Galax
S , Galaxy S II , Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4 ,
and Galaxy S5 .

Boasting about the camera on the Galax
S5 Jang said, "In 2014, we achieved the
successful integration of a 16-megapixel
camera with our Galaxy S5, which
allowed it to capture the finest detail an
color of any other smartphone camera o
the market at the time. This brought us
one step further to finally eliminating the
gap between digital cameras and our
smartphone cameras for good."

Jang also focused on the importance of
front-facing camera and noted that it is
"now considered as an essential feature.
A recent report suggested some details
about the camera on a Galaxy S6
prototype . The report said the prototype
included a 20-megapixel camera sensor
with OIS (optical image stabilisation) an
a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
Reportedly, both the cameras would
include sensors from Samsung.

The rear camera on the prototype
allowed clicking of images in different
resolutions, namely 20-megapixel
(5952x3348 pixels), 15-megapixel
(4464x3348 pixels), 11-megapixel
(3344x3344 pixels), 8-megapixel
(3264x2448 pixels), 6-megapixel
(3264x1836 pixels), and 2.4-megapixel
(2048x1152 pixels). The front camera,
on the other hand, was said to be the
"same as the one found on the Galaxy A
series."

Samsung is expected to launch the
Samsung Galaxy S6 flagship and the
anticipated curved-display variant,
rumoured to be called Galaxy S6 Edge at
the Galaxy Unpacked 2015 event
scheduled for March 1.
