Crazy: Samsung working on a new 600MP smartphone sensor

Samsung is developing a new 1/0.57” 600MP sensor with 0.8μm pixels. The camera bump would be 22mm thick which is roughly three times the thickness of the current camera bump on the Galaxy S20. It would also cover 12% of the smartphone area. The bump is quite big and I am not sure this would be really appealing. But damn…600MP? Imagine the noise level on this :)

Sony registered a new camera with the code “WW111327”. Likely to be the new A9 model?

Nokishita has spotted another camera registration with the code “WW111327”. We know there is one high end camera coming (A9III?) soon and the A7IV a bit later. In total Sony now registered three new camera codes:

  • WW186333 (no 5Ghx Wifi which suggests this might be an RX camera)
  • WW728473
  • WW111327

Rumored Sony A9III specs:

  • Sony will launch a new High End camera in Q1 2021. Maybe at the January 11 CES show (which is all digital this year).
  • It will be named as an A9x series camera and not A7x (not sure if it’s “A9s” or “A9III”)
  • It has a new ~50 megapixel sensor
  • 8k30p video confirmed with no overheating. It’s still an “infant” 8k mode…meaning it’s not 8k60 which would be crazy and there will be limitations in the quality you can record internally.
  • Other specs similar to A7sIII (EVF, autofocus, and so forth)
  • At least $1,500 more expensive than the EOS-R5 (but price hasn’t be finalized yet) Expect something like $4,999.
