Rumors suggest that ISOCELL CMOS camera sensors may also be featured in the long-awaited Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Samsung prefers large resolutions in the camera section of its smartphones. As an example, the Galaxy S23 Ultra made a big impact with its 200MP ISOCELL camera sensor. Rumors say that this sensor may also appear in the long-awaited Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Samsung is developing four new camera sensors
It looks like Samsung may be developing four new camera sensors. In the leaked Revegnus information, it is stated that Samsung is working on four new camera sensors. The leaker also said that these new ISOCELL sensors are scheduled to go into mass production towards the end of 2024.
ISOCELL CMOS camera sensors are a group of sensors produced by Samsung. Other companies can buy and use them for phones, computers and digital cameras.
There are four camera sensors that Samsung is allegedly developing. These include a 440MP HU1 sensor, an unnamed 320MP sensor, a 200MP HP7 sensor with 0.7 micron pixels and a 50MP ISOCELL GN6 sensor with 1.6 micron pixels. According to insider information, the 200MP HP7 sensor was originally designed for the future Galaxy S25 Ultra but was abandoned due to the high cost of production.
All targets can be achieved by 2025
While there are some doubts about whether these new sensors will be included in Samsung’s phones, the company has previously shared its goal of developing a 576MP camera sensor like the human eye by 2025. So the 440MP camera sensor could be a step towards that goal.
Regarding the 320MP camera sensor, the leaker suggested that this sensor could potentially be used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, it is too early to say whether this will happen.
The 50MP GN6 camera sensor could potentially be Samsung’s first one-inch camera sensor with the same pixel size as Sony’s famous IMX989 sensor. Many companies, including Chinese manufacturers, use this sensor; Examples include Oppo Find X6 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Pro and Vivo X90 Pro Plus. However, according to the leaker, this sensor is unlikely to be used in Samsung phones.
