Samsung is expanding its ways in the camera field as it’s introduced a new periscope camera technology called All Lenses on Prism (ALoP).
The newly introduced ALoP technology rearranges the lens placement in periscope cameras, making them more compact and efficient. Usually, conventional periscope cameras place the lenses between the prism and image sensor, but Samsung introduced a new way as its ALoP camera technology moves the lenses ahead of the prism.
The Korean tech giant claims that this new arrangement enables a wide aperture (f/2.58) that delivers enhanced low-light performance with reduced noise. The new camera technology helps periscope cameras be more compact and reduces their length by 22%, whereas the height reduction is minimal and still contributes to a more streamlined design.
This new solution would permit similarly wide apertures in a smaller form factor, which would be ideal for brands looking forward to using two periscope cameras in one device or for OEMs planning to squeeze a bigger battery into their phones.
Noticeably, the recent advancements in periscope camera technology are a merger of OPPO’s inverted periscope camera,Apple’s tetra-prism folded zoom camera, and ultra-high-resolution periscope cameras; all of these aim to enhance zoom capabilities and reduce module size.
