Samsung has officially launched 200 megapixels ISOCELL HP2 smartphone camera sensor. This sensor has been designed for flagship smartphones and can be used in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. This 200 megapixels camera sensor bins up to 16 pixels together to shoot HDR images at 50MP.
Samsung ISOCELL HP2 sensor has 200 million pixels and each pixel measures 0.6µm in size. The sensor has a 1/1.3-inch size.
The company has also introduced its latest pixel-binning technology called Tetra2pixel. It can bin 4-to-1 for 1.2μm pixels and 50MP resolution. The sensor can also bin 16-to-1 for 2.4μm pixels and 12.5MP photos. ISOCELL HP2 also supports Full 8K video with 4-to-1 binning and 1.2μm pixels. The sensor can also capture 15fps bursts at its native 200MP resolution.
“The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 harnesses Samsung’s high-resolution image sensor technologies and know-how at the cutting edge for epic details,” said JoonSeo Yim, Executive Vice President of the Sensor Business Team at Samsung Electronics. “Our leadership comes from innovative pixel technologies that allow our sensors to go beyond the number and size of pixels. We will continue to open new horizons and solidify our presence in the expanding ultra-high-resolution sensor market.”
The company has also integrated its Dual Vertical Transfer Gate pixel technology to increase per-pixel electron efficiency capacity. This translates to better control of exposure rates and better lighting control in bright and low-light conditions.
Samsung’s Super QPD technology controls the Autofocus. This tech can recognize both horizontal and vertical patterns to deliver fast and accurate AF even in low-light conditions.
The ISOCELL HP2 sensor is already in production and is expected to debut with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which is launching on February 1.
