Samsung’s imaging staff has provide you with a brand new design for a folded telephoto digicam module that will permit for a brighter lens (f/2.58 at 80mm) and a thinner total footprint.
Known as ALoP (All Lenses on Prism), it primarily strikes the lens array on prime of the periscope prism, as an alternative of in between the prism and the imaging sensor, as it’s in a standard folded design.
It’s because in a typical folded telephoto module design, rising the pupil diameter of the lens (making it wider and brighter) would enhance the module’s top. With ALoP know-how, you possibly can have a wider lens diameter with out making all the module greater.
So with ALoP, periscope cameras can have brighter lenses, main to raised low-light efficiency.
A standard folded telephoto vs Samsung’s ALoP design
Samsung’s ICOCELL staff says this design is 22% shorter than a standard periscope and it makes use of a 40˚-tilted prism reflection floor and 10˚-tilted sensor meeting.
You possibly can see within the photos beneath the drastic discount in module size and the discount within the thickness of the module.
The thickness present within the photos could not appear large, however it permits for a smaller digicam bump, which is a precedence for a lot of consumers.

Samsung is not saying after we’ll see this new tech in motion however a good guess is on the Galaxy S25 sequence.
