Samsung is said to be working on a new camera sensor with upgraded specifications. Earlier this year, the South Korean tech giant unveiled its flagship Galaxy S23 series. The series includes the Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy S23+ and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra models. The quad rear camera unit of the high-end Ultra model features a 200-megapixel main sensor with a wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens, a 10-megapixel sensor with a telephoto lens, and another with 10-megapixel telephoto sensor with 10x optical zoom.
In Somerset Report quote a tweet Source Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) hints that Samsung is working on a new batch of ISOCELL camera sensors. The sensors listed are expected to enter volume production in the second half of 2024. The source said the company is developing 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 unspecified dimensions of the sensor.
The report suggests that the ISOCELL GN6 is likely to be the mobile and camera maker’s “largest and first” 1-inch sensor to compete with the Sony IMX989 sensor, which is expected to be a worthy camera upgrade for upcoming flagship smartphones.
The rumored 440-megapixel ISOCELL HU1 camera sensor is expected to feature a larger than 1-inch lens. Since Samsung uses its camera sensor in smartphones and assists in driving smart cars, it is unclear whether the sensor will be used in phones or cars, the report added. The company has previously specifically stated that it hopes to develop camera sensors with a resolution of up to 600 megapixels.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is Samsung’s latest model with the highest camera resolution yet and it starts at Rs. The 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model is priced at Rs 1,24,999, while the 12GB RAM + 512GB storage model and 12GB RAM + 1TB storage variant are priced at Rs. 1,34,999 rupees. 1,54,999 respectively.
