Samsung’s new ISOCELL HP1 sensor has reached 200 million pixels

The pixel war in the mobile phone industry does not seem to stop. Earlier, Samsung announced the new ISOCELL HP1 photoreceptor, which raised the industry’s pixel ceiling to 200 million pixels for the first time. The CMOS size of this 200MP (16,384 x 12,288) is 1/1.22 inch, and the single pixel is 0.64μm. It has the new ChameleonCell pixel merging technology, which can carry out four-in-one or sixteen-in-one pixel. In the 16-in-1 state, it is equivalent to shooting 12.5MP images with 2.56μm pixels. In terms of video recording, the HP1 can shoot up to 8K 30fps, and it also supports four-in-one pixel recording when recording 8K.

While revealing HP1, Samsung also brought another single pixel 1.0μm 50MP photoreceptor ISOCELL GN5. Its size is 1/1.57 inches and supports Dual Pixel Pro omnidirectional autofocus. In addition, it can also shoot 8K 30fps with four-in-one available pixels. Although the name is larger than the previous GN1 and GN2, the product positioning is actually more like Samsung’s response to Sony IMX766.

Samsung mentioned in the press release that ISOCELL HP1 and GN5 have already begun to provide samples, I believe that the mobile phones equipped with them should not take too long to meet with you.
