Samsung is known to always bringing good features to its products, though the company doesn’t usually maintain them. An example was the dual aperture feature (F1.5 and F2.4) that the company introduced with the Galaxy S9 series in 2018 and stopped abruptly just two years later with the Galaxy S20 .
According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), Samsung plans to revive the variable aperture feature for its future phones. The South Korean firm has resumed the testing based on the assumption that future iPhones will also have a similar feature. Future Galaxy phones could have more aperture stops for even higher controls over the camera, unlike the Galaxy S9, with just two settings (F1.5 and F2.4).
Variable aperture is an adjustable opening in a camera lens that controls the amount of light that hits the camera sensor. The aperture’s opening can be narrowed to control the light, if it’s much, especially in sunlit environment. When the reverse is the case, as in night environment, light intake can be reduced by completely opening the aperture.
Some Chinese smartphone brands have also started using this variable aperture lens, that is generally found in professional DSLR and mirrorless cameras, in their recent high-end models. Rumours have it that future iPhones could feature a variable aperture lens, and Samsung is planning to bring the feature to its coming high-end Galaxy phones.
There’s also the likelihood that this feature would be used in the Galaxy S27 series, particularly the Galaxy S27 Ultra. According to various posts, the Galaxy S26 series won’t be inclusive in this feature. Also, this Samsung’s plan to give new life to the Galaxy S9 camera feature is to better compete with upcoming iPhones.
