Samsung working on 20 megapixel camera for next Note

Samsung will be the latest manufacturer to get into the megapixel race, according to a report from ET News. The company's Mobile Advanced Development team is already working on 20 megapixel camera modules.

The global market leader is allegedly still facing difficulties with the implementation of Optical Image Stabilization option, so it's looking for other means to differentiating its products.

Samsung's upcoming camera module is expected to debut in the second half of next year. This means that it will likely debut on the next-generation Galaxy Note phablet, but there is no official word at the moment.

The South Korean manufacturer expects to ship 90 million smartphone units in 2014 with 16 megapixel camera sensors
