Default Zoom cameras are about to get even better thanks to Samsung

  • Samsung has announced a new type of periscope camera dubbed an All Lenses on Prism (ALoP) camera.
  • This tech rejigs the layout of the periscope camera to deliver a smaller module and wider aperture.
  • This should enable a smaller camera bump and improved low-light image quality as a result.
Periscope cameras are a fixture on the best camera phones, using prisms and/or mirrors to enable long-range zoom. One of the biggest downsides to this tech is that it takes up a lot of space, but Samsung has revealed a solution.

Samsung Semiconductor (h/t: r/android) recently announced All Lenses on Prism (ALoP) technology, and this rearranges the structure of a periscope camera. Conventional periscope cameras place the lenses between the prism and image sensor (see first image below), but Samsung’s ALoP camera tech moves the lenses ahead of the prism (see second image).
