Samsung has yet unveiled the ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor. The aforesaid sensor volition beryllium utilized successful the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone. The ISOCELL HP2 is the South Korean firm’s 3rd 200MP camera sensor, and the company claims that it offers greatly improved representation and video quality.

The ISOCELL HP2 is simply a 1/1.3-inch sensor with 0.6-micron pixels, making it smaller than the ISOCELL HP1 (1/22-inch with 0.64-micron pixels) that was launched successful 2021. However, Samsung inactive claims that the ISOCELL HP2 is its astir precocious camera sensor arsenic it features the D-VTG (Dual Vertical Transfer Gate) exertion that boosts each pixel’s full-well capableness by much than 33%, resulting successful enhanced colour reproduction and simplification successful overexposure. This means you tin accidental goodbye to overexposed and washed-out images successful agleam conditions.

ISOCELL HP2 has faster autofocus, improved colors, and amended HDR

The caller representation sensor has TetraPixel, Samsung’s binning exertion that tin seizure 50MP images with 1.2μm pixels (4-in-1 pixel binning) oregon 12.5MP images successful 2.4μm pixels (16-in-1 binning), depending connected the ambient light. It tin besides seizure up to 8K 30fps videos with a wider tract of presumption successful its 1.2μm 50MP mode, which means it uses bigger pixels than previous-generation Galaxy S bid phones successful 8K mode.

The ISOCELL HP2 offers faster and much reliable autofocus successful low-light conditions, acknowledgment to Super QPD. This caller autofocus exertion uses each its 200 cardinal pixels arsenic focusing agents. Four adjacent pixels connected the sensor are grouped unneurotic to admit some horizontal and vertical signifier changes adjacent successful precise dim conditions. It tin besides seizure 15 full-resolution 200MP images successful 1 second, making it the company’s fastest 200MP sensor.

For improved HDR, Samsung is utilizing the DSG (Dual Signal Gain) exertion successful the 50MP mode. It is simply a method that captures abbreviated and agelong exposures simultaneously, which means it tin seizure HDR images and videos connected a pixel level. It besides features Smart ISO Pro, allowing the telephone to seizure 12.5MP images and 4K 60fps HDR videos simultaneously.

JoonSeo Yim, Executive Vice President of the Sensor Business Team astatine Samsung Electronics, said, “The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 harnesses Samsung’s high-resolution representation sensor technologies and know-how astatine the cutting borderline for epic details. Our enactment comes from innovative pixel technologies that let our sensors to spell beyond the fig and size of pixels. We volition proceed to unfastened caller horizons and solidify our beingness successful the expanding ultra-high-resolution sensor market.”

The ISOCELL HP2 is already successful the wide accumulation phase, which astir surely means that we tin spot it wrong the Galaxy S23 Ultra that volition beryllium unveiled connected February 1, 2023, during the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event.
