Samsung is introducing several new types of LED flashes that will debut in their high-end mobile devices

The first is an LED flash they’re calling a “reflector-integrated flash LED” and will debut in the Samsung Galaxy S5. It basically shoots light in a wider field of view to compensate for our smartphone cameras wide FOV. This ensures light reaches to the far edges of the image, which should come in handy when flash is needed. Samsung also says the colour rendering has also been improved, making the flash function well in both daylight and night time shots.

Samsung has also announced its affordable “standard flash LED 2016″ which is said to offer better light output and better colour than LEDs found on current smartphones.

Lastly, Samsung introduced their upcoming “side view LEDs” which are said to be more power efficient and given their small footprint (.8mm thick), makes them perfect for the growing trend of thinner smartphones and tablets.

Samsung says they’ll begin mass producing their new LEDs in March, where you can expect to find them popping up inside devices sometime in Q2.
