Galaxy S25 Ultra, the height of the rear camera part can be reduced

Mr. Ice UniverseGalaxy S25 Ultraof the rear camera section ofThe height from the back panel is 2.4mmThat’s what you expectThe iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, is 4.3 mm thick.It is explained that there is also.

From the comparison table published this time, the only thing protruding from the rear panel of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s rear camera is the lens ring.About 2mm taller than iPhone16 Pro MaxIt will be suppressed.

The iPhone 17 Air body thickness is 5mm, what is the height of the rear camera part?

The iPhone 17 Air, due for release in 2025, is rumored to be 5mm thick, so if the height of the rear camera section from the back panel is kept at 2.4mm like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the total length is 7.4mm.

If so, it won’t be as thin as 6.9mm, which is how thick the iPhone 6 is. The iPhone 6 also has a ring around the rear camera lens, but it’s so shallow that it can be ignored these days.

Should we improve the image sensor and lens to make it thinner?

Assuming the iPhone 17 Air body thickness is 5mm, and trying to reduce the overall thickness to 6.9mm or less, it would be necessary to make the camera module thinner and reduce the number of lenses.

The number of lenses for the iPhone’s rear camera is increasing every year, but to make the iPhone thinner, it is expected that the number or thickness of the lenses will need to be reduced.

Largan Precision will likely be involved in the development of these challenging targets, which will test the company’s technical capabilities.
