News & Reviews:   camera sensor

According to analytical company Strategic Analytics, Sony is the one who is leading the camera sensor industry by owning 46% market share. It is reported that the global market for camera sensors for smartphones reached 15 billion USD in 2020, an increase of 13% over 2019. Therefore, you can roughly estimate how much Sony is earning in just the camera sensor industry alone from the statistics.

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.

About a week ago, there was a rumour mentioning that Samsung would launch new ISOCELL camera sensors this year. While there's no real news on the rumoured 200MP sensor yet, Samsung did announce a new camera sensor yesterday - ISOCELL HM3.

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.

The larger the megapixel of a camera sensor does not always mean it's better. There are also some other features that we need from a sensor including low-light performance, focus ability and more. Today, Samsung has launched a 50MP sensor that is said to be able to perform like a 'DSLR' camera, let's find out how the sensor can achieve that!

Last month, we've heard the rumour that Samsung is working on 150MP camera sensors to be used in their upcoming flagships. Now, it is said that the camera sensor's R&D process has been completed and will soon enter mass production. Without taking a break, the Korean tech giant is now being found developing new 250MP camera sensors.

Just when you thought the pixel count can't go higher, a new rumour comes to laugh at you. This new rumour claims that Samsung may be working on creating a 150MP camera sensor. Allegedly, this camera sensor will be equipped on flagship smartphones.
