Samsung May Partner with Olympus for Future Smartphone Cameras
Apr. 8, 2021After OnePlus, it looks like Samsung may join the trend of phone brandscollaborating with established camera makers. According to the latest rumors, Samsung islikely to collaborate with Japanese camera maker Olympusfor its upcoming Galaxy smartphones.
The rumor first camefromTwitter user Yogesh. Reliable leakster Ice Universe then took to Weibo to corroborate the claim. Take a look at Ice Universe’ post on Weibo below:
“I believe we can provide value to the photography activities and culture of our customers in areas other than cameras and lenses.Instead of just doing things on our own, we will work with other partners when necessary,” OM Digital’s chief technology officer Setsuya Kataoka was quoted as saying byDigital Camera World.
All these pieces of evidence hint that Samsung’s next Galaxy S series flagship or the upcoming Galaxy Fold 3 might have an Olympus branding. However, since the South Korean giant has not officially confirmed the partnership just yet, we recommend you take this rumor with a grain of salt.
If this turns out to be true, Samsung will be the latest smartphone company to team up with a camera brand. Other leading phone makers to have recently signed partnerships with camera companies include Huawei and Leica, Vivo and Carl Zeiss, and others.
