See the fascinating Galaxy S20 Ultra camera hardware up close

Ivan, 06 March 2020

We're fascinated by the intricate camera hardware, inside the Galaxy S20 Ultra (as our very long and detailed review shows) and relish the chance to see it up close and disassembled, thanks to the team at iFixit.

The teardown tells the usual affair of glued together panels, heat guns, pry tools and patient work. Skipping over to the interesting bits, here are the Galaxy S20 Ultra's cameras.

The most interesting are the 108MP Nonacell sensor, which is huge, and the periscope chamber which has a prism that reflects through a moving lens array to a sensor placed perpendicular to the phone.

Huge difference between Samsung catching up to Huawei and Apple catching up to Android manufacturers. Since Samsung was catching up in camera department whereas Apple playing catchup in every department.

Catchup, just like Samsung catching up to Huawei in camera features.

Sure if they pioneer some feature, I'll give them credit but they are too busy playing catchup. Innovation is far from sight, pioneering something is a distant dream for Apple in the smartphone world in 2020.
