Citing “a source who has been right on multiple accounts in the past”, the ever-reliable SamMobile has attained specifications for the Galaxy S10’s all-new triple rear camera. There’s just one concern.

Breaking down the specs, SamMobile reveals the Galaxy S10’s primary sensor will match the Galaxy S9’s 12-megapixel f1.5/2.4 variable aperture lens. This will be supported by a super wide 16-megapixel sensor with f1.9 aperture and a 123-degree field of view, as well as a 13-megapixel telephoto lens (aka optical zoom) with an f2.4 aperture.
As for the concern, this comes down to pixel size.
Both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses have very small pixel sizes of just 1µm, which will restrict the amount of light both modules can take in. More positively, however, is a pixel size of 1.4µm on the primary sensor which is in line with Apple’s iPhone XS (details) and Google’s Pixel 2 XL (details).
Interestingly, SamMobile notes the Galaxy S10’s wide-angle lens will lack optical image stabilisation and autofocus but as it is designed to shoot panoramas and other typically static subjects this isn’t a big deal. Notably, LG omits the same features from the wide-angle lens on its dual camera G7.
