Samsung currently stands out as one of the largest component manufacturers in the world. Among all the semiconductors they produce, we must highlight the sensors for cameras. In this sense, the company returns to the load with two new 48 and 32 megapixel ISOCELL sensors, designed for multiple cameras, which basically becomes the future of telephony in this section.
The new ISOCELL Bright GM1 and ISOCELL Bright GD1 offer 48 and 32 megapixels, respectively, and a pixel size of 0.8 microns (1.6 microns in low-light situations). These two new sensors also have ISOCELL Plus technology, as well as Tetracell technology, better known as pixel binning. On a practical level, this translates into greater brightness in dark environments and more resolution for normal scenes.
It should be noted that neither of these two sensors is compatible with optical stabilization systems for their lenses. This suggests that they could be designed for the most economical ranges. For now, Samsung itself has announced that they will begin to be produced in the last quarter of the year. Therefore, it is very possible that at the next CES in January we can see a device, either from Samsung or from the competition, with these sensors in operation.
One of the latest devices that we have known that innovates in the photographic section bears the Samsung seal. We refer to the Samsung Galaxy A9, the first mobile on the market to have four sensors on its back. Specifically, it boasts a 24-megapixel sensor with f / 1.7 aperture, another 10-megapixel f / 2.4 (for two-magnification zoom), as well as a third 8-megapixel f / 2.4 for wide-angle shots (thanks to its 120ยบ lens). The last one (for the blur) comes with a resolution of 5 megapixels with aperture f / 2.2. On the front, the South Korean has added a 24 megapixel sensor with f / 2.0 aperture for selfies, so a very good quality is also expected in this regard.
