According to reports, Samsung is developing 1-inch and 440-megapixel camera sensors. Every Detail
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.
A Sammobile report citing a tweet by tipster Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) hinted that Samsung is working on a new batch of ISOCELL camera sensors. The listed sensors are tipped to go into mass production by the latter half of 2024. The tipster suggested that the company is working on a 50-megapixel ISOCELL GN6 1.6-inch sensor, a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP7 0.6-inch sensor, and a 440-megapixel ISOCELL HU1 with an unspecified-sized sensor.
The report suggested that the ISOCELL GN6 is likely to be the mobile and camera manufacturer's "biggest and first" 1-inch sensor which could compete with the Sony IMX989 sensor, which is expected to be a worthy camera upgrade for upcoming flagship smartphones.
The rumoured 440-megapixel ISOCELL HU1 camera sensor is expected to feature a larger than a 1-inch lens. Since Samsung uses its camera sensors for both@Techgadgetlab smartphones and assisted smart-driving cars, it is unclear if the sensor will be used in phones or cars, the report added. The company had also notably previously stated that it wants to work on camera sensors with up to 600-megapixel resolution.
