Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra’s New Camera Feature Discovered in App Code: Report

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has been tipped to feature a P-shaped camera module. It is said to retain the 108-megapixel primary camera from its predecessor, the Galaxy S21 Ultra. However, the Galaxy S22 Ultra could offer an improved camera performance. Reportedly, a few lines of code in the Samsung camera app have been located that hint at the Galaxy S22 Ultra receiving a ‘Digital Enhancer’ feature. In addition, this handset is believed to pack a 40-megapixel selfie camera at the front.

The report by South Korean publication Itmaterial mentions that Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will use its 108-megapixel primary sensor to offer a microlens-like functionality. This feature is said to be activated when using the dedicated 108-megapixel shooting mode. The report states that the ‘Digital Enhancer’ feature could be exclusive to the Galaxy S22 Ultra at launch. However, it is expected to be made available to other handsets with a 108-megapixel camera like the Galaxy Note S20 Ultra and Galaxy S21 Ultra.
