News & Reviews:   Samsung ISOCELL

Upcoming flagship smartphones could soon get a major camera upgrade. Samsung has announced the ISOCELL HP5 sensor, which promises improvements over the ISOCELL HP3 launched in 2022. The ISOCELL HP5 will also be accompanied by other new technologies to enhance image quality.

On Tuesday this week, Samsung announced that it would be launching a new ISOCELL image sensor soon. This new sensor uses the technology from the ISOCELL GN2 that was introduced earlier this year. Well, the new ISOCELL JN1 is now officially revealed.

Back in January 2021, Samsung announced its new 108MP ISOCELL HM3, which was eventually added to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. But that's clearly not the only flagship that will be using the camera sensor. In fact, other brands may have it soon.

If you recall, Samsung announced the ISOCELL GN2 earlier this month. As a result, it was rumoured that a smartphone with a 150MP or 200MP camera would be coming soon. Well, they're rumours no more as Samsung has finally confirmed that a powerful smartphone camera is on the way.

For many people, the smartphone is now their go-to for casual photography. As a result, smartphones with good camera sensors tend to become popular options. Samsung is a key provider in this area and now has a new upgrade with the ISOCELL 2.0 announced yesterday.

It's hard to see completely new features being added to smartphones these days. Like it or not, most companies are just pushing for higher numbers to try to impress us. That's the same for the mobile photography space, with sources claiming that Samsung will have a 200MP camera sensor in 2021.

It looks like the pixels wars are going to continue if the latest rumour is true. A new leak suggests that Xiaomi is working on a new phone that will pack a large 144MP main camera sensor from Samsung. When it launches, such a phone could house the world's highest pixel count.

The new Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone utilizes Samsung's own ISOCELL technology for the camera sensor. Looking to explain why the smaller sized ISOCELL camera sensor is such an improvement, Samsung have released a video explaining how it works and what benefits it offers. This includes better performance, less noise and richer picture quality in low light conditions. Check out the video for yourself in this article.

Samsung has just announced their ISOCELL CMOS image sensor technology which they say beats back side illumination (BSI) sensors in other cameraphones. According to Samsung, BSI has limitations in that the cross-talk interference is higher the closer pixels are to each other, which happens with larger megapixel camera sensors. Through Samsung's ISOCELL, each pixel is isolated, allowing it to catch more light from the sensor resulting in better exposed, blur-free photos shot in low-light conditions.
