According to reports, Samsung is developing new camera sensors with improved specs. The South Korean electronics behemoth debuted its newest Galaxy S23 series earlier this year. A Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy S23+, and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra model were available. The high-end Ultra model’s quad-rear camera unit has a 200-megapixel primary sensor with a wide-angle lens, as well as 12-megapixel and 10-megapixel sensors with ultra-wide, telephoto, and second 10-megapixel telephoto sensors with 10x optical zoom.
Samsung is reportedly working on a new batch of ISOCELL camera sensors, according to a Sammobile story that cited a tweet from tipster Revegnus (@Tech_Reve).
By the second part of 2024, it is anticipated that the aforementioned sensors will be mass produced. According to the tip, the company is developing three sensors: a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP7, a 440-megapixel ISOCELL HU1, and a 50-megapixel ISOCELL GN6 with a 1.6-inch sensor.
The Sony IMX989 sensor, which is anticipated to be a worthy camera upgrade for incoming flagship smartphones, might compete with the ISOCELL GN6, which the article claimed is likely to be the mobile and camera manufacturer’s “biggest and first” 1-inch sensor.
It is anticipated that the 440-megapixel ISOCELL HU1 camera sensor will have a lens larger than one inch. It is unknown whether the sensor will be used in phones or cars because Samsung employs its photo sensors for both smartphones and assisted smart-driving cars, the report said. Additionally, the business had previously made it clear that it intended to develop camera sensors with a resolution of up to 600 megapixels.
The 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variation of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the most recent Samsung model with the highest camera resolution to date, costs Rs. 1,24,999; the 12GB RAM + 512GB storage model costs Rs. 1,34,999; and the 12GB RAM + 1TB storage variant costs Rs. 1,54,999.
