When buying a phone, what features do you look for? I’d say the camera must be among the top features you want, as most smartphone buyers. Smartphones have come a long way in terms of camera tech, and Samsung is now taking things to a new level. Samsung has introduced ISOCELL All Lenses on Prism (ALoP) camera tech, to solve one of the biggest concerns: the bulky camera bump.
Samsung’s ISOCELL ALoP camera tech will solve bulky camera bumps
The ISOCELL ALoP (All Lenses on Prism) camera tech works by rearranging the lens and prism structure in the camera module. This lets smartphones have brighter telephoto cameras without making the camera bump taller. Unlike traditional periscope-style cameras, where the lenses are stacked vertically, ALoP places the lenses horizontally.
In what’s a blog post about the update, Samsung explains the ALoP design is 22% shorter than traditional periscopes. It’s because the new setup uses a prism tilted at 40 degrees and a sensor tilted at 10 degrees. In short, this is how Samsung makes the camera module thinner and shorter, solving the problem of bulky camera bumps.
Moreover, Samsung’s ALoP camera tech performs better in low-light situations, too. Thanks to its wide f/2.58 aperture, it can take bright, clear photos with less grain, even in dark environments. So that’s pretty much going to be an upgrade for future Galaxy phones.
So, when does Samsung plan to introduce this to Galaxy?
Samsung did not mention when we can expect the ISOCELL ALoP to hit the Galaxy lineup. A fair guess would be the company might ship it to the upcoming Galaxy S25 series when it debuts in January. That’s a fair guess, after all. So we will keep our fingers crossed on both hands and await an official announcement or more leaks.
