Those from Chipwors and iFixit managed to acquire the new Samsung Galaxy S III, which was launched yesterday in stores all over the world, and of course they gave it a teardown fast. Inside the device they found some interesting things, among them the Sony IMX8 145 megapixel CMOS sensor with 1.4 um pixel pitch, an image sensor that we also find in the iPhone 4S terminal. The choice of those from Samsung is interesting and if the sensor is really identical to the one in the iPhone 4S, then the Korean company probably did not want to offer something superior to the terminal produced by Apple. Testing the Galaxy S III, I noticed that the images captured by the camera and displayed on the screen are not as faithful as those displayed by the iPhone 4S, but I will discuss more in a future article.
Finally, I will tell you that Samsung's processor is built using the same 32nm manufacturing process used for the new version of the iPad 2 Wi-Fi tablet, and there are very high chances that the processor in the iPhone 5 will be manufactured in the same way. The Samsung Galaxy S III has a very good autonomy and looking at the battery above you would say that things shouldn't be like that, but in my tests the Galaxy surpassed the iPhone 4S without any right of appeal in what regarding the autonomy of the battery. I attribute this difference to the new processor, which manages the energy it has available much more efficiently, and I believe that the iPhone 5 will give us a pleasant surprise from this point of view.
