Galaxy S23 Ultra camera providers joined by China's Sunny Optical as Samsung cuts Sony out of the S23 series picture

The Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature two camera units that have been supplied by the Chinese company Sunny Optical, which has provided lenses for Samsung in the past as well as for rivals such as Huawei and Vivo. According to a report by The Elec, the S23 Ultra will have its 10 MP folded zoom telephoto camera and 12 MP ultra-wide camera mostly produced by Sunny Optical, with Samsung Electro-Mechanics (telephoto) and NAMUGA (ultra-wide) picking up any slack.

The rest of the cameras headed to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra come from numerous manufacturers: South Korean firm MCNEX will be involved with providing the regular 10 MP telephoto lens along with fellow Korean company PARTRON, while the famed 200 MP sensor is going to be sourced from Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This leaves the S23 Ultra's selfie camera, which is reported as 12 MP and then later as 10 MP, with two more Korean outfits in the forms of NAMUGA and Power Logics brought in for supply purposes.

With the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ purportedly having their cameras supplied by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Power Logics, PARTRON, and CammSys (also based in South Korea), it seems Samsung has kept the camera equipment for the upcoming Galaxy S23 series a mostly Korean affair with some assistance coming from the Chinese firm Sunny Optical. This means the Japanese giant Sony has been completely cut out of the picture, with the Xperia-maker having previously provided cameras for many Galaxy S models, including the Galaxy S22 series.
