Phone manufacturers are reducing camera sensors due to the lack of semiconductors

A new report has been released that reveals interesting information about the recent trend of smartphone brands. The report points out that apparently most smartphone manufacturers have now decided to reduce the number of sensors on the rear camera module of their smartphones due to a lack of components, especially semiconductor chips. Along چیکاو Be.

The report was shared by Omdia, a well-known market research and technology company in the world of technology and manufacturing gadgets. The company’s findings and research are also shared on various social networks, including Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. Omdia added in the report that OEMs (many smartphone manufacturers fall into this category) are now moving to using higher-resolution image sensors for the back panel modules of their handsets to have fewer cameras. In that module.

The main reason for this change is apparently due to the persistent shortage of semiconductors, which has affected various industries around the world. In the third quarter of this year, if you look closely, you will notice that the production of smartphones with triple camera module increased to the same level as the models with quad camera. In fact, smartphone makers have tried to make more use of the triple camera module on the back panel of their phones in their new products, and are gradually reducing the use of the quad-camera module.

The use of the triple camera module has now been strengthened among almost all smartphone brands, as until recently, even low-end phones under US $ 150 saw the use of quad modules on the back panel. Meanwhile, the market share of using the quad-camera module has dropped significantly, and most brands are trying to use the triple camera suite for their new phones.

Currently, the share of phones using the triple module, which was far behind the number of phones with the quad-camera module, has almost reached the same level, and if the situation continues like this, it will not be long before the number of smartphones Using a dual rear camera module goes far beyond the number of handsets that will see a quad-camera module on their back panel. Another very interesting thing that has happened in the camera panel of the back panel of the phones is that the market share of smartphones that have a dual camera module in the back panel, which had been greatly reduced for some time, is now experiencing a significant increase again and in the same period. .

Omdia’s senior research director Jusy Hong said that as this trend continues, it will be time for brands to reduce their camera costs due to the ongoing shortage of semiconductors. He added: “Smartphone brands are also reducing the number of mid-range models from four to three.” Currently, 48-megapixel lenses account for 25 percent of the total market share in the third quarter of 2021, while the 64-megapixel and 108-megapixel sensors have grown to 19 percent and 5 percent, respectively.
