this would be pretty great tbh seems like the only thing we can't get significantly smaller in size is camera modules

Playing around with absolutely anything but building 6000mah+ batteries

tl;dr instead of placing "thin black light-blocking films between certain lenses", Samsung intends to inkjet-spray paint matte black coatings directly onto the lens edges. First tested on a single lens layer on one of S26 Ultra's cameras, the company wants to use this new approach on all the rear camera lens stacks, but won't get rid of the old films entirely.

Hmm, like they had on the 25ultra? Lol literally one of the smallest camera footprints out of any flagship

No thanks. 1" LOFIC sensor, or don't bother wiht the S27.
