1. Apple has adopted a quadruple reflective prism design on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
2. Samsung has raised this similar technology to six levels in the patent to enhance its technological competitiveness.

IT Home cited the patent description. Among these 6 prisms:

1. 3 are concave lenses (light protrudes outward)
2. 3 The first is a convex lens (the light is concave inward)
3. are arranged alternately to allow the light to move in a zigzag shape1. This expands the moving distance of the light (OIS range is 180 mm to 7000 mm, and the focal length is longer) , thus improving the zoom capability.
4. As mentioned in the patent application documents, the purpose of this design is to develop an optical imaging system that can achieve high resolution and make the camera module thinner. In other words, the lens stack must be designed small enough to fit inside the phone.
