According to the report of SamMobile, a foreign website, Samsung It has submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office a document entitled“ Duo Pixel ”（ Double pixel ）The application for trademark registration is not clear about more details, but it should be a new sensor technology. Foreign Media Analysis Samsung may register this patent as a new focusing technology to replace the traditional phase focusing, Galaxy S7 It is possible to carry sensor 。

This "double pixel" may be somewhat similar to Canon's double pixel sensor, which divides a single pixel into two, and two photodiodes work together to achieve phase difference detection, enabling the camera to focus more quickly in taking photos. This technology It may be related to the Samsung 12 megapixel 1/2 inch camera sensor exposed earlier. The size of this sensor is larger than 1/2.3 inch of many card machines. It is estimated that the actual imaging effect will be considerable by adding dual DP technology.

Combined with the "recently exposed camera of the Galaxy S7 that still stands out" and "the 12 megapixel sensor is up to 1/2 inch in size", the Galaxy S7 may indeed be equipped with the "dual pixel" sensor. Of course, all these may also be foreign media's YY. Samsung will apply for a large number of patents every year, but not all patents will be immediately used in the latest models, at least in the future Samsung models may use "dual pixel" sensors.
