Reportedly, Samsung is having issues manufacturing the Galaxy S5′s camera. Why? Well because Samsung decided to go from a 5-lens array which you see in just about every other smartphone, to a 6-lens array. Which we just learned this morning that OnePlus is doing with their phone. Which this required the Samsung engineers to make these lens all thinner so it could fit in the same space. However, as is probably very obvious, the thinner you go the more likely there are to be flaws, and right now the rumors and reports are informing us that yield rates are down around 20-30%.
The biggest feature on the Galaxy S5 is the camera, at least in my opinion. The other stuff like the heart rate sensor and the fingerprint reader are cool, but the camera on the Galaxy S5 is just plain amazing. Even if you head over to Samsung’s site and check out the Galaxy S5′s features, right at the top, you’ll see the camera and all it’s features. So Samsung is really touting this new camera, as they should. It’s a fantastic 16-megapixel camera with all kinds of amazing technology inside. And it’s definitely one area where they need to hit it out of the park, since they’ve been hyping it up so much and even saying that it’s the “best smartphone camera” on the market.
Sources are telling us that Samsung has been keeping employees staked-out at the facilities of its lens manufacturing partners, doing on-site quality control and trying to keep the Galaxy S5′s release on schedule. Samsung stated at Unpacked in Barcelona that the Galaxy S5 will be launching in 150 countries on April 11th, it’s still likely that they’ll be available by then. But I have a feeling that they were hoping to get a few regions the Galaxy S5 ahead of that launch, as we’ve already heard some countries will be getting it as soon as next month.
Hopefully Samsung won’t have to delay the Galaxy S5 launch. But in the worse case scenario and they do, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
