YouTubers in Pakistan showed strong growth in 2025, with new data showcasing a surge of numbers for successful local channels and their global reach.

According to the figures, more than 95,000 Pakistani YouTube channels have surpassed 10,000 subscribers, which shows a broad and growing base of mid-sized creators on the platform. At a higher tier, over 13,000 channels in Pakistan have crossed the 100,000-subscriber mark, indicating sustained audience growth and engagement.

At the top end of the creator economy, more than 1,000 Pakistani channels have achieved one million or more subscribers, placing them among YouTube’s most successful creators globally.

The data also highlights Pakistan’s expanding international audience. More than 60% of total watch time for Pakistani content now comes from viewers outside Pakistan, showing that local creators are attracting significant global viewership.

These figures point to YouTube’s growing role in Pakistan’s digital economy, with creators reaching large domestic and international audiences and contributing to the country’s presence on global digital platforms.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 may not receive new camera hardware, but a report from South Korea suggests the Galaxy S27 series could bring a major upgrade. The report says Samsung is working on an all-new smartphone camera sensor with global shutter capabilities. It does not name a specific device, but it indicates the sensor could appear in the Galaxy S27 series.

Global shutter sensors differ from the more common rolling shutter sensors because they capture all pixels at once. This approach avoids warping or distortion, which makes global shutter sensors better at capturing moving subjects than rolling shutter sensors.

Global shutter sensors typically appear in professional cameras used for sports and in industrial settings, such as conveyor-belt quality inspection and machine vision.

Reported Sensor Specifications

According to the report, Samsung’s global shutter sensor uses 1.5 µm-sized pixels stacked in a 2×2 formation and offers a 12MP resolution. The 12MP resolution suggests Samsung could implement the sensor on either the telephoto or the ultrawide lens.

The report also says the sensor will include an embedded analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for its pixels, which allows faster image capture.

The report adds that Samsung is not the only company working to bring global shutter sensors to smartphones. Apple is also reportedly pushing to add the technology to its next-generation iPhones.
