The 108MP ISOCELL HM3 image sensor was introduced by Samsung with the Galaxy S20 series in 2020. And now Samsung may be planning to introduce its 200MP ISOCELL HP1 image sensor with the Galaxy S23 series next year, in order to enhance the megapixel count. Let’s take a closer look at the specifics.
Galaxy S23 Ultra to Bring a 200MP Camera
Samsung introduced the ISOCELL HP1 image sensor last year. And this is the world’s first 200MP image sensor for mobile devices. The 0.64 micron-sized pixels on the industry-first camera sensor allow 8K footage on mobile devices.
Now, according to ETNews, the company is on its way to the end stage of developing the ISOCELL HP1 sensor. It is also said that the development is being taken care of by Samsung Electronics and Samsung Electro-Mechanics departments. And the task is divided into a 30-70 ratio.
The 200MP ISOCELL HP1 sensor will be used in Samsung’s next-generation flagship Galaxy S23 series, according to the claim. It’s due out in 2023 and has the potential to redefine smartphone camera standards once more. It should have industry-leading camera performance and low-light imaging. Samsung is also said to have discussed the 200MP sensor’s roadmap with its main partners ahead of its launch next year.
Now, the 200MP ISOCELL HP1 sensor has a new pixel-binning technology dubbed ChameleonCell, which employs a two-by-two, four-by-four, or complete pixel layout for photos depending on the ambient illumination. It also combines 16 adjacent pixels to gather more light for the sensor, resulting in better low-light performance.
Furthermore, the sensor can record 8K movies at 30 frames per second with minimum loss of field of view. It can also reduce video resolutions to 50MP and capture 8K films without cropping or scaling down the whole image resolution by combining four surrounding pixels.
Other specifics about the Galaxy S23 versions for next year are yet unknown. As a result, we recommend that you stay tuned for further information and share your opinions on Samsung’s impending 200MP image sensor in the comments section below.
