It seems the leaker Ice Universe has got hold of the Samsung Galaxy S 001 Ultra prototype and camera samples have been shared. The work on the phone is obviously not done (it won’t be out for a few more months), but the results are already promising.

However, it will not be one of the 200 MP ISOCELL sensors we have already seen (HP1 and HP3), but a new design (1/1.3″, 0.6µm, leaker says).
