Although there are more than two months, Samsung GALAXY S7 will officially debut, but the camera configuration has been outstanding. Recently, according to foreign websites SamMobile reported that Samsung recently submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office a project called "Duo Pixel (dual pixels)" registered trademark, it seems had heard or dual-PD technology for GALAXY S7 camera sensor there is a certain correlation, so speculation that Samsung might in this new flagship model of camera head using new technology to enhance picture quality.
Registered trademark Duo Pixel
According to foreign website SamMobile reported that Samsung has submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office a project called "Duo Pixel (dual pixels)" registered trademark on November 25 this year, although not unknown for more details, but literally It should be interpreted with smartphone camera sensor related. For this reason, the Samsung external analysis of registration of the mark may be the focus of a new technology to replace the traditional focus mode phase, it may be the new Pixel Collation Algorithm, there may even mean dual lens design.
And SamMobile speculated the "double pixel" registered trademark and had heard perhaps Samsung 12 million pixel 1/2 inch camera sensor related. And according to the prevailing view, the size of the sensor than 1 / 2.3 inch card machine but also a lot bigger, and added dual photodiode (dual-DP) technology, said to have been close to mass production stage.
Focus Faster
Meanwhile SamMobile also said Samsung this new technology has the potential dual-pixel sensor with Canon is quite similar, which is a single pixel in two, then two photodiodes work together to achieve the phase difference detection AF. And when the picture is taken, the confluence of two photodiodes turn the respective image signal as a pixel output, in order to get better output quality. Therefore, if you are using "double pixel" technology for sensor applications to GALAXY S7 on, it will be able to greatly enhance the speed and quality in focus.
However, at present about the Samsung GALAXY S7 camera configuration There are various rumors, initially own 20 million pixels ISOCELL sensor, then Samsung is rumored Sony Sony IMX300 sensor negotiation message. Although the industry believes that the more likely GALAXY S7 final with 20 million pixel camera, but considering the rumors of the Samsung GALAXY S7 will launch top version in its native South Korea, so do not rule out this "double pixel" camera sensor will be loaded into this version It may be on.

The camera will bump
It is worth mentioning that, due to the dual photodiode larger camera sensor size (dual-DP) technology, it is difficult to make thinner the camera, that is, the camera may still appear convex condition. Prior to this, the Samsung GALAXY S7 mobile phone sets protective sleeve accessories from third-party vendors exposure, the aircraft's camera is also more prominent, so the situation in body size compared to little change under GALAXY S6, may mean that Samsung might "double pixel" technology on the next generation of its flagship camera sensor.
Of course, the above statement are all anecdotal conjecture, although Samsung will apply for a large number of patents each year, but may not be able immediately to practical. However, in the past, Samsung mobile phone after the application category registered trademark, usually formal launch similar products, so Samsung GALAXY S7 may indeed likely to carry a new "double pixel" sensor to improve focus speed and picture quality.
