The new sensor would be able to absorb more light in low-light settings and its pixel-merging Tetracell technology would allow the sensor to imitate big-pixel sensors, producing brighter 27MP images. In bright environments, the Smart-ISO, a mechanism that intelligently selects the level of amplifier gains according to the illumination of the environment for optimal light-to-electric signal conversion, would switch to a low ISO to improve pixel saturation and produce vivid photographs. The mechanism would use a high ISO in darker settings to produce clearer pictures.
The ISOCELL Bright HMX sounds like Samsung's rejoinder to criticisms of the low-light and night time performance of its sensors, a solution that throws more pixels at the problem.
With an addition to this, Samsung will expand its image sensor offerings from its recently announced ultra-high 64MP to 108MP, a resolution equivalent to that of a high-end DSLR camera, the company said in a statement.
This sensor also supports 30 frames per second filmed at 6K resolution. "With more pixels and advanced pixel technologies, Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 and GM2 will bring a new level of photography to today's sleekest mobile devices that will enhance and help change the way we record our daily lives". It will instead use Tetracell technology to compress 4 neighboring pixels into one, resulting in a theoretically better and brighter picture. However, Samsung first announced its ISOCELL technology in 2013. Based on this technology, Samsung introduced the industry`s first 1.0um-pixel image sensor in 2015 and 0.9-pixel sensor in 2017. Chineses Tech Giant Xiaomi had also earlier this month confirmed it has a smartphone with the ISOCELL Bright HMX in the making.
