Just a few weeks before the unveiling of the Galaxy S23 series, Samsung has introduced a new camera sensor, its third 200MP sensor – the ISOCELL HP2. The new 200MP sensor of Samsung is likely to make its debut with the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra, which has been much-rumored to receive a camera upgrade this year.
The ISOCELL HP2 sensor of Samsung features 0.6 μm 200 million pixels in a 1/1.3-inch size, a format widely used for 108MP sensors. Samsung says that this would deliver a higher resolution image without increasing the size of camera bumps in the ‘latest high-end smartphones,’ likely to include Samsung’s own Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The new 200MP sensor comes with the “Tetra2Pixel” pixel bin technology that can smartly simulate different pixel sizes depending on the light. In low-light environments, the HP2 can bin 4-to-1 for 1.2μm pixels at 50MP or 16-to-1 for 2.4μm pixels at 12.5MP. Meanwhile, it also shoots up to 8K 30 fps videos in 50MP, promising “sharp cinematic videos.”
To tackle the issue of images with blown-out highlights, the 200MP sensor comes with Dual Vertical Transfer Gate (D-VTG) that promises to reduce overexposure and improve colour reproduction, especially in well-lit situations.
The HP2 sensor’s Super QPD technology enhances its auto-focusing capabilities in low-light conditions by utilising all 200 million pixels as focusing agents. This technology, in combination with a large number of reference points, allows the camera to focus quickly, even in dimly lit environments.
With the HP2 sensor, Samsung is bringing the DSG feature to 50MP mode, which means improved HDR performance. Additionally, the Smart-ISO Pro, an HDR solution that combines different ISO readouts from a single exposure, allows the camera to capture 12.5MP images and 4K video at 60fps in HDR.
Samsung says that the ISOCELL HP2 sensor has entered mass production. With the Galaxy S23 Ultra around the corner, it is not just a coincidence, and this is likely the 200MP sensor that the smartphone is expected to have.
