New Galaxy S21 Ultra rumor hints at Bright HM2 108-megapixel camera

The Galaxy Note 20 series hasn't even shipped to early customers yet but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from grinding away bits of information that will be proven true or false six months from now. In other words, rumors about the Galaxy S21 series have been popping up since before Galaxy Unpacked 2020, so the arrival of the Galaxy Note 20 series won't change the flow of information regarding the next flagship series.

Case in point, a new rumor passed along on Twitter claims that the Galaxy S21 Ultra will be equipped with a new camera that will be based on the sequel to the Bright HM1 sensor. It will reportedly retain the 108MP resolution but it's unclear whether or not it will be called the ISOCELL Bright HM2. And yes, if you need to catch up, Samsung is expected to release three Galaxy S21 variants early next year and they'll likely be called the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra.

In other recent news, the Galaxy S21 series might abandon the ToF camera, meaning that the Galaxy S21 Ultra could make up for it by using a laser autofocus module. In other words, it's business as usual and we can expect the Galaxy S21 series to gain some inspiration from the Galaxy Note 20 lineup.
