Three ISOCELL image sensors from Samsung bridge the gap between smartphone main and secondary cameras for enhanced imaging across all angles. The ISOCELL HP9 is the industry’s first 200-Mpixel telephoto sensor for smartphones, according to Samsung, while the ISOCELL GNJ and ISOCELL JN5 are 50-Mpixel sensors.
The ISOCELL HP9 features 200 million 0.56-µm pixels in a 1/1.4-in. optical format. A highly refractive material applied to the microlens allows the HP9 to accurately direct light to the corresponding RGB color filter. The result is more vivid color reproduction and improved focus, with 12% better light sensitivity (based on SNR10) and 10% improved autofocus contrast compared to its predecessor. HP9 also includes 2x or 4x in-sensor zoom modes, enabling up to 12x zoom when paired with a 3x zoom telephoto module.
Leveraging dual-pixel technology with an in-sensor zoom function, the ISOCELL GNJ delivers 50 million 1.0-μm pixels in a 1/1.57-in. optical format. An upgraded material for deep trench isolation minimizes crosstalk between adjacent pixels, allowing the sensor to capture more detailed and precise images. The GNJ sensor boasts low power consumption, achieving a 29% improvement in preview mode and a 34% improvement in 4K video mode at 60 frames/s.
The ISOCELL JN5 has a resolution of 50 million 0.64-μm pixels in a 1/2.76-in. optical format. It can be used across main and sub cameras, including wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, front, and telephoto, ensuring a consistent camera experience from various angles.
