Samsung introduces new ISOCELL HP2 sensor in time for Unpacked
The ISOCELL HP2 is Samsung’s new 200-megapixel camera sensor that we expect to be in the S23 Ultra. The sensor offers a 1/1.3-inch size and 0.6-micrometre (μm) pixels.
Samsung says this is the same sensor size that is widely used in 108-megapixel primary smartphone cameras. With the South Korean company’s advanced pixel-binning technology, Tetra pixel, the HP2 offers more versatility to the camera and comes with different pixel sizes to match different lighting levels.
So, in low-light environments, the sensor transforms either into a 1.2μm 50-megapixel or 2.4μm 12.5-megapixel image sensor by binding four to 16 pixels. And for 8K video at 33-megapixel, the HP2 will switch to a 1.2μm 50-megapixel model that’ll minimize cropping and capture more of the scene. You can film 8K at 30fps. A wide field of view and bigger pixel size can help with cinematic videos.
The company’s new Dual Vertical Transfer Gate (D-VTG) technology is now featured in the ISOCELL sensor. This can help reduce overexposed images and create better colours in bright conditions. And in low light, it features Super QPD for faster auto-focusing.
The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 is now in mass production.
