Samsung has introduced a new sensor that will change the world of smartphone cameras.
With the ISOCELL HP1 sensor, Samsung ushers in the 200MP camera era. The new ISOCELL HP1 sensor brings a new pixel-binning technology that will allow it to take powerful low-light shots, according to Android Authority. It’s the first 200MP resolution sensor in the smartphone camera industry with 0.64micron pixels, the largest pixel size of any smartphone camera ever seen.
Samsung has named the pixel-binning technology of the new HP1 sensor as ChameleonCell. 2×2 and 4×4 pixel binning modes will be used. In 2×2 mode, the sensor can capture 50MP images with 1.28 micron pixels. And in 4×4 mode, it can capture 12.5MP images with 2.65 micron pixels.
The HP1 sensor can record 8K video at 30fps and 4K video at 120fps. According to reports, Xiaomi’s new flagship phone to be released in 2022 will use a 200MP sensor. So far, I can’t say for sure which product I’ll be using. Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones. They also expected to use this sensor.
