Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a South Korean multinational electronics company having its headquarters in the Yeongtong District of Suwon. Recently Samsung announced that they are going to launch a 200-megapixel image sensor for the cameras of their smartphones. They further declared that this 200-mega pixel image sensor is considered the highest resolution phone camera sensor ever made.
The ISOCELL HP1 has 0.64μm pixels and can bin 16 of them at once for the equivalent of a 12.5-megapixel sensor with 2.56μm pixels. Samsung calls the HP1’s pixel-binning technology “ChameleonCell.” The four-by-four 12.5-megapixel setting is intended for low-light usage, but it can also capture full 200-megapixel resolution photos, or use a two-by-two binning technique for 50-megapixel images. The two-by-two binning mode also lets the HP1 capture 8K video. Samsung convinces that it’s capable of shooting 8K without cropping, although standard 8K (7,680 x 4,320) is less than 50 megapixels.

Samsung is also going to introduce a new sensor called the ISOCELL GN5. It has a 50-megapixel sensor with 1.0μm pixels, and Samsung says it’s the first 1.0μm-pixel sensor to integrate its Dual Pixel Pro technology. That is like a smaller version of the 1.4μm-pixel GN2, which was the biggest phone camera sensor available when it made its debut on Xiaomi’s Mi 11 Ultra this year.
However, Samsung hasn’t still confirmed the bulk production of this sensor, but they have already issued the samples of the sensor to the manufacturers. In an era where mobile phones have become one of the essential necessities of human lives, launching this kind of innovative technological aspect will contribute to making human lives more comfortable and set at ease.
Let’s keep waiting for more amazing tech news! Stay alert folks!
