Samsung’s newest super-sized digital camera sensor is the “Isocell HP1.” It has a whopping 200 MP sensor, making it the highest-resolution smartphone digital camera sensor ever made. In the event you saved a picture from it at full decision, you’d find yourself with one thing like a 16,384 × 12,288 picture.
Megapixels do not matter—what issues far more for picture high quality is the scale of every pixel, as larger pixels (and larger sensors) seize extra mild. Samsung is making an attempt to cowl each bases with pixel binning, although, which merges a number of pixels into a much bigger pixel for low-light conditions. The HP1 has an “all-new” variable pixel-binning know-how known as “ChameleonCell,” which lets the sensor bin at 2×2 or 4×4, relying on the quantity of sunshine.
At 4×4, you are ratcheting the 200 MP sensor all the way in which all the way down to 12.5 MP by merging units of 16 pixels. It will flip the full-resolution 0.64 μm pixels into a decent 2.56 μm pixel, which Samsung says “is able to extra mild absorption and sensitivity, producing brighter and clearer images in in-doors or within the night.”

Samsung’s different super-sized sensor in the marketplace is the GN2, which confirmed up within the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and one or two different telephones. The GN2 is simply a 50MP sensor, however with quad-pixel binning, it might go to a 2.8 μm pixel dimension. The GN2 is a much bigger general sensor with larger pixels, so on paper, it ought to nonetheless be able to higher pictures.
Samsung says its 200 MP sensor is sampling now. We’re positive some Android OEM will take the corporate up on the provide quickly.
