Samsung launches a new camera technology called ISOCELL ALoP (All Lenses on Prism), an alternative to Periscope cameras that helps reduce size. But still maintains the same brutal zoom quality!
Typically, periscope cameras in use today rely on prisms to receive and reflect light from the lens before reaching the sensor, which makes the camera body large. Taking over the place of the device as shown in the picture below.
But with the new ALoP (All Lenses on Prism) technology, this will be a new design, removing the lens element before it goes over the prism. Instead of the traditional long guide, this new configuration allows for a lens with a larger diameter and a wider aperture. This allows for high quality images even in challenging lighting conditions. And most importantly, it does not increase the size of the smartphone to make it look bulky.
The new design of ISOCELL ALoP technology achieves a balance between image quality and design. The aperture value can be wide f / 2.58 with a focal length of 80 mm, resulting in clear images with low noise even in low light. And it can also reduce the size by 22%, which is very different from the original Periscope camera.
It is considered as a really amazing technology for the mobile zoom camera industry. Because in some time we may see a great zoom camera in a device that is not big. The lens is large and takes up space.
We will wait to see when Samsung will start using this ISOCELL ALoP technology will the Galaxy S25 series that will be launched early next year be able to use it in time? Very interesting
