Samsung Intros 200 Megapixel Camera Sensor for Phones
Samsung's new Isocell HP1 camera sensor features 200 megapixel resolution. That unprecedented number of pixels enables several specific new capabilities. The most important is variable pixel binning, which Samsung calls "ChameleonCell". While existing high-res sensors are designed with a fixed pixel binning mode of either 2x2 or 3x3, the HP1 can switch between 4x4 binning (offering 12.5 megapixel output), 2x2 binning (offering 50 megapixel output), or no pixel binning for full 200 megapixel output. The 4x4 mode combines 16 pixels acting as one, for better low-light performance. The 2x2 mode enables, for the first time, the capture of 8K video while benefitting from pixel binning for better quality. The HP1 is small enough that it "fits comfortably in today's handheld devices". The Isocell HP1 is sampling to device makers now. Samsung's first 108-megapixel sensor was announced in August 2019 and ended up in Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra the following February.
