Samsung Developed 64MP ISOCELL Image Sensor

Samsung announce a new smartphone sensor module capable to capture images at 16 stops of dynamic range with 64MP resolution.  Based on the press release GW1 sensor can produce bright 16Mp images in low-light environments and highly-detailed 64Mp shots in brighter settings.
One of the most interesting thing is GW1 supports real-time high dynamic range (HDR) of up to 100-decibels (dB) that provides richer hues. In comparison, the dynamic range of a conventional image sensor is at around 60dB, while that of the human eye is typically considered to be around 120dB.

Samsung Join Hands With Fujifilm to Create ISOCELL PLUS Sensors

Korean Giant Samsung and imaging industry leader Fuji silently working together behind the curtain to create a completely new and more powerful ISOCELL sensor. The new ISOCELL PLUS sensor

.

Let me explain you what Fuji did inside ISOCELL sensor to make it ISOCELL PLUS, earlier every two-sub pixels of of ISOCELL sensor was separated by a metal grid. Now, the metal grid is replaced by Fuji new innovative material. (well they didn’t disclosed what the innovative material is).

Highlights of ISOCELL PLUS Sensors Press Release

  1. Today introduced its new ‘ISOCELL Plus’ technology
  2. Absorb and hold more light than the conventional backside-illuminated (BSI) image sensor
  3. Samsung replaced the metal barrier with an innovative new material developed by Fujifilm, minimizing optical loss and light reflection.
  4. The new ISOCELL Plus delivers higher color fidelity along with up to a 15-percent enhancement in light sensitivity
  5. The technology also enables image sensors to equip 0.8-micrometer (µm) and smaller-sized pixels without any loss in performance, making it an optimal solution for developing super-resolution cameras with over 20 megapixels
  6. The ISOCELL Plus will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai, held from June 27 to 29.

With the help of new technology Samsung is not only able to create more better sensor, but they can also create higher resolution sensor without any loss in performance.

We also expect in near future both companies will work together for the betterment of Sensors as well imagine technology to bring new innovative products for for consumers.

Samsung NX2 Prototype Exist - 30MP DPAF, 4K at 120FPS and more...

Samsung NX2

Samsung NX1 was the first APS-C camera to introduce DCI 4K video recording and 205 on chip AF point with 15fps burst, After low sales report Samsung closed its camera division and handed over all the further operation to mobile section.

According to latest rumors Samsung NX2 / NX1 successor do exist in Samsung lab and currently being tested with Exynos 9810 SoC. Now, at the time I am writing this article the Samsung Exynos 9810 SoC is a high-end system-on-chip and rumored to be used inside the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ flagship smartphones.

As the tipster says the new CPU allows the camera to record 4K video at 120FPS h/265 encode capability. Take a look at Rumored Specification of Samsung NX2 camera

Samsung NX2 Specifications

  • 30,1 megapixels sensor (6720*4480)  (3-stack FRS) ISOCELL
  • Tetracell / dual-pixel AF. (AF is insane with combination of dual-pixel and ‘Super PD’)
  • accelerometer-based shutter / registers the G-forces (acceleration)
  • 4K 120fps h/265 encode capability enable impressive framerates
    – Full sensor (6720*4480) @ 30fps
    – 5376*3024 @ 60fps
    – 3840*2160 @ 120fps
    – 2688*1512 @ 240fps
    – 1920*1080 @ 480fps
    Up to 120fps should be full sensor read-out, 2.7K and 1080p at higher frame-rates is 2×2 pixel binning and then down-sampling (so full width of sensor is used up to 480fps (!).
  • 15fps burst with mechanical shutter
  • 30fps RAW with electronic shutter.
  • Practically no read-out noise ’, which is regular in-sensor phase detection.
  •  LTE-connectivity with eSIM,
  • GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou) for location tagging,
  • SD 3.0 with UHS-II support for memory cards (up to 300 MB/s),
  • Bluetooth 5 for continuous low-power connection and
  • 802.11ac with 2×2 MIMO for fast image- and video transfer.
  • USB 3.1 Type-C with DP enabled for uncompressed output up to 5K 30fps and 4K 60fps.
  • PCIe 3.0 x2 bus left if they decide to add something like a CFexpress card-slot, or Thunderbolt 3 or 10GbE.

This was one of the prototypes of the Samsung NX2 camera and and its is possible that more exist with variable ND, IBIS, HBM2-buffer.
