Samsung’s brilliant Galaxy Note with S Pen Camera is here
Huh, no new Galaxy Note launching this year and its future is in the air as well. Samsung’s one of the iconic smartphone lineup, Galaxy Note, has become the most discussed topic among millions of fans just after the S Pen arrival on the S21 Ultra and Z Fold 3.
Thanks to LetsGoDigital as we now have a possible appearance of the future Galaxy Note phone, may be the Galaxy Note 22 Ultra. Well, the information emerged from the company’s design patent application which was spotted on September 10.
Next Galaxy Note to feature S Pen and camera together
According to the news, Samsung filed a new smartphone design patent on March 5, 2021, at WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) with the title “Portable terminal including separable camera”. And the dedicated S Pen silo is enough to confirm that it’s going to become a Galaxy Note phone.
The document of this new design patent shows that Samsung wishes to develop the next Galaxy Note smartphone that comes with an excellent S Pen that has a camera as well. As result, the company can offer a new Galaxy Note phone with a full view display along with a selfie camera with full resolution.
This finding suggests how the Korean phone maker is still exploring new possibilities for a removable S Pen stylus. Therefore, the latest one reveals that the company has filed a new patent for a rod-shaped detachable camera that also has a nib for writing with it.
Future S Pen to feature camera as well!
It’s likely to become a normal high-end Samsung smartphone, with a beautiful full-screen design and rounded screen edges, only at first glance. On the rear panel, it has triple cameras similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but there’s no selfie camera hole on the display and Samsung used a brilliant tech for this.
Patent shows, this future Galaxy Note has a detachable, commonly known as removable, camera system that is as large as the S Pen. Unlike the previous Notes, the removable camera system can be inserted and removed at the top left of the device.
Document confirms that the detachable system includes a camera, microphone and shutter release button. And the company can also add second or more cameras with different lenses with different viewing angles and apertures such as ultrawide and/or telephoto lens.
The new product could replace the traditional S Pen as it is also equipped with a nib and Samsung has clearly thought of everything with this versatile device. With its rod-shaped design, you can easily hold the S Pen Camera in your hand as easily as a selfie stick to capture photos and recording videos.
Benefits of S Pen Camera
Consumers can freely choose any composition they want in order to open up new creative possibilities for shooting from different angles thanks to Samsung’s S Pen Camera. Furthermore, the remote shooting option also makes it easier to capture everyone, including the photographer.
Possibilities:
- S Pen Camera will completely inside the housing.
- The front camera is activated, after which the pop-up camera rises from the housing.
- The user takes the whole camera system out of the housing to take pictures from a distance and from different angles.
Last but not least, it’s not possible to confirm whether Samsung will make such as Galaxy Note with S Pen Camera or not. However, we’ve just talked to HoiINDI, the well-known concept creator, and he promised us to brought the renders and video graphics of the Galaxy Note phone with an S Pen and removable camera.

Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy reveals Samsung’s bold flagship redesign
Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.
Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.
There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.
Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.
The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.

Samsung dreams new camera with longer battery, less noise
A new patent suggests Samsung working on next-gen camera tech that could save battery and crush lens process noise. The company has recently unveiled the All Lenses on Prism telephoto solution for thinner and sleeker zoom cameras.
Since smartphone camera modules get more advanced, a lot of processing power is required to finish the tasks. That said, Samsung is crafting even more advanced camera modules that save battery and reduce noise.
Enter Samsung’s new patent, which introduces a power-saving sub-processor. This clever little chip would handle all the extra camera tasks—like reducing noise from the OIS lens movements and managing the EIS algorithms.
It will reduce the burden of the main processor so it can focus on the actual photo-taking. At the time your device is in a sleep or power-saving state, the sub-processor keeps running quietly in the background, consuming minimal power.
If the technology is used, you will have less noise in camera operations, smoother performance, and better battery life. At the same time, you won’t lose your favorite camera features, but your smartphone will last longer between charges.
A look ahead
The development shows Samsung’s innovative approach. Other than upgrading camera sensors, the company is also working on improvements to the technology that works behind the scenes and makes a great impact on performance and efficiency.
Samsung often registers new patent applications to secure designs and innovations. However, it’s uncertain that a patented technology would surely be commercialized. Tech firms have thousands of approved patents that never get produced.
