Samsung Galaxy S5 to miss OIS

www.techadenarena.blogspot.comBefore the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 came out there were rumors that it will have a camera with
optical image stabilization (OIS). It didn’t and rumors had it that it was due to the insufficient
supply of stabilized modules in time for the launch. Then there were a couple of OIS-enabled
cameras linked to Samsung – a 13MP one and a 16MP one – with speculations coming that they'll
be used on the Galaxy S5. Not so fast, says Korean publication ETNews.
Apparently, the next Galaxy S flagship will not have OIS due to a number of issues. For one, OIS
camera modules are thick and might not fit in the thin Galaxy S5.
Getting enough units is another issue – the Galaxy S phones sell in the tens of millions and
Samsung is reportedly worried that camera suppliers won't be able to deliver enough units,

at least in time for the S5 launch early next year. Samsung execs recognize that competitors are
using OIS as a marketing point, but the next flagship smartphone will most likely miss out on
the feature. Keep in mind that that these rumors are in no
way official and might turn out to be false. The same goes for other Galaxy S5 rumors including
the metal frame and 64-bit processor .
