Samsung unveils powerful new smartphone tech.
Note that while Ice Universe refers to a second-gen Isocell HP2 sensor, Samsung doesn’t list such a sensor in its product list. The tweet is possibly referring to the original Isocell HP1.
A 200-megapixel camera is a radical proposition for a smartphone, even the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s 108-megapixel camera already seems mind-bogglingly high-res for a smartphone.
The smaller dimensions of Isocell HP3 actually put it at a disadvantage compared to the larger HP1 as its lower surface area cuts down on the amount of light it can capture, however, the new component comes with an upgraded “Smart-ISO Pro” feature than enables the sensor to capture images at three different sensitivity settings simultaneously. According to Samsung, this enables Isocell HP3 to capture up to 4 trillion colors while capturing a wider dynamic range for HDR images.
The Isocell HP3 also comes with an all-pixel autofocus system Samsung is calling “Super QPD”. With every pixel able to assist in autofocus, there’s no need for dedicated focus pixels and such a system should help avoid any autofocus problems such as those that. Super QPD places a single lens over each block of four adjacent pixels, using phase differences between the individual pixel outputs to calculate focus. Having such a huge number of pixels to start with will also help in this area.
Perhaps more exciting than the Isocell HP3 itself is the prospect of what camera technology Samsung might have in store for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. If not the Isocell HP3, then Samsung fans could be forgiven for expecting something even better from next year’s flagship. Only time will tell.
