    No. The other anonymous user already described the reason pretty well, but one other explanation I can add is that an OIS keeps the frames steady when the camera is trying to capture multiple images then combine them into one, potentially increasing the number of frames that can be stacked together.

      Would like to see the results though.
      You would have though 10 years would be enough time to give us an upgrade to the 808. Hopefully we don't have to wait 20 years.

          However please continue to further and further side track this way off point. By all means you're doing a fabulous job.
          Does samsung have side tracking too? Is that a useful phone feature?

            Anonymous, 22 Apr 2022Ois is just useful period. And again even the same sensor... moreNo it is not.

            It is not meant for video. If you turn off EIS, video is too shaky.
            For shutter more than 1s, OIS is not gonna prevent blur.
            For shutter faster than 1/4s, it is not necessary.

            Just little % of lenses from 📷 have OIS.

            Just because samsung has something, ppl do not need to label as extremely useful.

              Anonymous, 21 Apr 2022More colour info = higher DR Only downside is the fact ... moreWrong. You can 100% reuse the demosaicing algorithm for a Bayer sensor for BBK's RGBW CFA without any additional color interpolation process and the color accuracy won't suffer since primary R, G, B pixels are all there.

                Anonymous, 22 Apr 2022OIS is only useful if shutter speed is between 0,25s - 1s. OIS is always useful for shatter speed slower than 1/100s. It elimates vertical shake entirely meaning it helps a lot when you're taking a follow shot of a moving subject. With a hardware stabilization, you can also minimize the blur even when you're holding your phone with only one hand.

                  And again even the same sensor would be a huge improvement just with everything else around it being newer. Sadly they soups ruin it by ditching the much more mature and natural refined processing for some crazy noise reduction and over sharpening.

                      Somehow, I wonder what will disappoint in this phone, because all this seems promising; the segmentation with BBK, not so much :/
