News & Reviews:   mobile camera sensor

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.

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.

The hardware in smartphones continues to evolve, becoming better as the years go on. In that sense, Samsung's rumoured 50MP ISOCELL GN2 mobile image sensor isn't the only one being worked on. Sony is also launching a new camera sensor for smartphones in 2021 called the Sony IMX800.

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.
