Calling all photography enthusiasts! Today, let’s give a round of applause to Samsung for unveiling three new mobile image sensors that are set to revolutionize the world of smartphone photography. Here’s what you need to know:
– ISOCELL HP9, 200MP
– ISOCELL GNJ, 50MP
– ISOCELL JN5, 50MP
You may recognize the ISOCELL HP9 from its appearance in the recently released Vivo X100 Ultra. This flagship device boasts top-notch performance even at 20x zoom, thanks to the HP9 sensor. Jesuk Lee, Executive Vice President and CTO of the System LSI Sensor Business Team at Samsung Electronics, shared his excitement about these new sensors, highlighting their ability to enhance image sensor performance and bridge the gap between main and sub cameras for a consistent photography experience.
Let’s dive into the details of each sensor:
ISOCELL HP9: 200MP for telephoto excellence
– Features 200 million 0.56-micrometer pixels in a 1/1.4-inch optical format
– Utilizes high-refractive microlens technology for enhanced light-gathering capabilities
– Offers improved light sensitivity and autofocus performance compared to its predecessors
– Excels in low-light conditions with Tetra-pixel technology for sharper portraits and bokeh effects
– Includes a remosaic algorithm for up to 12x zoom when paired with a telephoto module
ISOCELL GNJ: Dual Pixel innovation with energy efficiency
– A 50MP dual pixel sensor with 1.0μm pixels in a 1/1.57-inch optical format
– Combines dual pixel technology with in-sensor zoom function for clear video footage and high-resolution images
– Features upgraded deep trench isolation (DTI) material for detailed images and improved color reproduction
– Boasts lower power consumption with enhanced preview mode and reduced energy usage during video recording
ISOCELL JN5: Versatile and reliable performer
– A versatile 50MP sensor with 0.64μm pixels in a compact optical format
– Equipped with Dual VTG technology for noise reduction in low-light conditions
– Utilizes Super QPD technology for precise focus on moving objects with minimal shake
– Hardware remosaic algorithms improve shooting speed and enable real-time zoom capabilities
