It was seen coming that Samsung would be about to announce its new 50MP camera sensor with dual pixel autofocus. It is so, and a couple of hours ago he took the voice to announce this new sensor.
We speak of ISOCELL GN1 camera sensor with more pixels, a faster autofocus mechanism and support for 8K video recording. A new sensor that we will see soon in the next high-end of the company.
El ISOCELL GN1 is a 1 / 1.3 inch camera sensor with a resolution of 50MP. We are talking about the first image sensor from the South Korean company to incorporate both dual pixel autofocus and Tetracell pixel binning. In fact, Samsung has stated that the native pixel size of 1.2μm can be changed to 2.4μm by using Tetracell's technology to greatly enhance low-light photos.
This new camera sensor is characterized by its 100 million focus units for blazing-fast autofocus in low-light conditions. Two photodiodes are placed side by side at each pixel, so they can receive light from different angles to be used in phase detection.
Speaking of pixel-binning mode, the ISOCELL GN1 sensor is capable of capturing 12.5MP images with 2.4μm pixels to improve low-light photography; one of the current battlefields in the field of photography from a mobile. In fact, its algorithms offer a mode that allows capturing 100MP images using the 50Mp sensor.
Other features of this sensor include Smart ISO, gyro-based EIS and video recording up to 8K at 30FPS. It also allows you to record video at 240fps with autofocus and 400fps without autofocus.
This new ISOCELL GN1 image sensor will go into mass production later this month so that it will be at the end of this year when it reaches the company's new smartphones. Just 9 months ago when we had the latest news of another new Samsung sensor.
