Before the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 came out there were rumors that it will have a camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). It didn’t and rumors had it that it was due to the insufficient supply of stabilized modules in time for the launch. Then there were a couple of OIS-enabled cameras linked to Samsung – a 13MP and a 16MP camera – with speculations coming that they'll be used on the Galaxy S5.Apparently, the next Galaxy S flagship will not be featuring OIS due to a number of issues. For one, OIS camera modules are thick and might not fit in the thin Galaxy S5.

Getting enough units is another issue – the Galaxy S phones sell in the tens of millions and Samsung is reportedly worried that camera suppliers won't be able to deliver enough units, at least in time for the S5 launch early next year.
Samsung executives recognize that competitors are using OIS as a marketing point, but the next flagship smartphone will most likely miss out on the feature.
And for more news on the S5 and much more, STAY TUNED!
