Camera maker Olympus reportedly denies partnership with Samsung
June 08, 2025
Loads ofGalaxy S22 seriesrumors and leaks have appeared online in recent months, but one of thecraziest claimswe heard is that Samsung could be teaming up with Japanese camera maker Olympus for the new phones.
Now, Olympus has reportedly toldLet’s Go Digitalthat there is no collaboration between it and Samsung.Android Authorityfollowed up with Olympus as well and a marketing representative told us the following:
The statement given to us is ambiguous compared toLet’s Go Digital‘s information, technically not ruling out a partnership. We followed up with Olympus to clarify exactly what it means with this statement, but the firm subsequently told us that it doesn’t comment on rumors.
Nevertheless, if it indeed turns out that Olympus and Samsung aren’t working together as the reliable Dutch outlet reports, it doesn’t mean that there weren’t any talks to begin with. It’s also theoretically possible that Olympus is in talks with another smartphone maker instead. There wouldn’t be any shortage of smartphone OEMs teaming up with an established camera brand though.
Other prominent collaborations in the industry includevivo and ZEISS,OnePlus and Hasselblad, andHUAWEI and Leica. Smartphone makers often claim improved image processing, better hardware, and additional camera modes as a result of these partnerships.
We’ve contacted Samsung for comment regarding the Olympus rumors and will update the article accordingly if/when it gets back to us.
