Samsung presents slimmer ISOCELL sensors with 108 MP, 64 MP, 48 MP and 32 MP
In the past two years, Samsung has launched several larger camera sensors for smartphones, including the 108 MP ISOCELL HM1 and 50 MP ISOCELL GN1 sensors. Samsung has now presented four new ISOCELL camera sensors. Thanks to their smaller pixels, these new sensors are slimmer and should be used in more compact devices with smaller camera humps. The new camera sensors – 108 MP ISOCELL HM2, 64 MP ISOCELL GW3, 48 MP ISOCELL GM5 and 32 MP ISOCELL JD1 – use 0.7 µm pixels. In comparison, the older ISOCELL sensors with similar resolutions use 0.8 µm pixels. The newer sensors are 15 percent smaller and their height has been reduced by 10 percent. To ensure that smaller pixels do not affect the overall image quality, Samsung has used ISOCELL Plus and Smart ISO technologies, which are optimized for 0.7 µm pixels. ISOCELL Plus holds the received light in the pixel with a wall-like structure, while Smart-ISO intelligently adjusts the ISO in order to make full use of the incident light. IS...
