Some recent reports claim that Apple could bring variable aperture to the cameras on the iPhone 18 Pro series. This would be similar to a feature Samsung introduced with the Galaxy S9 in 2018. The South Korean firm may reintroduce a similar feature with the Galaxy S27 series to compete with this year's iPhone.
According to a report from ETNews, Samsung is seriously considering adding a variable aperture system to the cameras on future high-end Galaxy phones. The company has reportedly asked its suppliers to develop variable aperture components for testing. Samsung Electro-Mechanics and MCNEX producing the parts. They could be used in the Galaxy S27 series in 2027.
What is variable aperture and how can it be useful?
Variable aperture allows users to control how much light reaches the camera sensor. In low-light conditions, a wider aperture lets in more light, which can reduce image noise and produce brighter photos and videos. In bright conditions, a narrower aperture helps prevent overexposure and increases the depth of field, keeping more of the scene in focus.
Samsung previously used a dual-aperture system with F1.5 and F2.4 settings on the Galaxy S9 series in 2018. It was also used in the Galaxy S10. However, Samsung later dropped the feature as it increased device thickness and cost. In recent years, the required components have reportedly become thinner and less expensive, which could make a return of variable aperture more practical.
