Last Wednesday (24) the Samsung revealed to the world the ISOCELL GN1, the company's new image capture sensor that should be found in the company's next smartphones. 141f1n
The news was released in a video that highlights some of the features we will see in the new sensor. Apparently, some of the autofocus issues that have occurred on the latest models of smartphones from Samsung are being taken seriously by the company, and everything indicates that they will be corrected with the use of this new sensor.
Among the novelties present in the new ISOCELL GN1, Samsung highlights the use of technology Dual Pixel, which has 100 million focus detection units. This ensures that the device that uses this sensor has an accurate and very fast autofocus system, managing to adjust the focus perfectly even if the subject of the photo is in motion.
This concern with the autofocus capability of the new lens comes to correct a problem present in the company's current image sensors, as problems with autofocus — which took time to locate the object and did not do so accurately — is one of the biggest complaints from s about the camera of the Galaxy S20.
This feature improvement is made possible through a focus detection process using two photodiodes, which capture light from different directions, creating two images and adjusting them until they overlap – a process equivalent to what the eye can see. human does to bring an image into focus.
Better photos even in the dark 5j6i43
O ISOCELL GN1 It also has some features that improve the quality of photos in low light environments. One of them is the pixels with a size of 1,2 micrometers, 50% larger than the 0,8 micrometers that are normally present in smartphone cameras. Combined with the new Pixel Isolation technology from Samsung, this larger pixel size allows more light to enter, ensuring sharp photos even in the dark.
But the big highlight of the sensor is perhaps the technology Tetracell, which modifies the way the camera's pixels are organized. Instead of distributing pixels of different colors in mosaic patterns (the way most standard RGB sensors arrange their pixels), the ISOCELL GN1 groups pixels of the same color into groups of four.
This allows, when the camera is in low-light environments, this group of four pixels to be treated as a single one, thus ensuring that each of them can capture a greater amount of light. And when this is combined with larger pixels and better isolation between them, the end result is photos taken in the dark with a much higher quality than we usually get without the use of software, with greater sharpness and less presence of sprinkles.
The technology Tetracell also allows the possibility of taking HDR photos in real time. This is possible because each pixel in the same group can capture images with a different exposure level (for example, two pixels take a photo with medium exposure, one with short exposure and one with long exposure), which allows the final result be an image with beautiful shadow, lighting and midtone effects.

O ISOCELL GN1 is a 50 MP camera sensor, with a resolution of 8160 x 6144 pixels thanks to a size of 1/1.31”. These features, combined with Dual Pixel technology (which ensures that each sensor pixel has two photodiodes) and artificial intelligence software, will allow Samsung's new sensor to be able to capture images with quality comparable to 100 MP cameras.
Overall, everything indicates that this will be by far the best camera sensor ever developed by Samsung. It is not yet known which will be the first device that will use it, but there is a possibility that it will be the Galaxy Note 20, which according to rumors must be announced by Samsung In August.
