According to the latest report by research firm TrendForce, amidst the backdrop of an increase in the number of cameras on high-end smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, global smartphone camera shipments are expected to grow by 3.8% in 2024, reaching approximately 4.22 billion units.

In terms of current smartphone camera trends, the overall setup still includes a primary camera with 49 to 64 million pixels, accompanied by two auxiliary cameras. Recent hardware upgrades in smartphones, besides the incorporation of periscopic lens modules, also include the adoption of glass-plastic hybrid lens solutions to enhance color reproduction and reduce chromatic aberration.

TrendForce notes that for consumers, camera specification upgrades continue to be a major factor in deciding to switch phones. Therefore, some brands are focusing on enhancing the camera specifications of their high-end models; there is also a trend towards upgrading the primary camera in entry-level products.

The agency predicts that Android smartphone brands will use price as a dividing line, with mid-range models adopting lower-cost fixed-focus or single-reflection periscopic camera solutions, and high-end models using lens grouping and multiple-reflection periscopic solutions. OPPO has even equipped its Find X7 Ultra model with a dual periscopic camera module.
