Samsung has announced  today its latest 200-megapixel image sensor ISOCELL HP2, which is expected to feature on the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra. It is 1/1.3” in size with 0.6μm pixels and comes with brand-new technology for increasing the dynamic range and enhance color reproduction.

The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 has a 200MP resolution, and its TetraPixel binning technology enables it to take 50MP images with 1.2μm pixels and 12.5MP images with 2.4μm pixels.

In addition, it can record 8K/30 FPS video with a wider field of view in its 50MP mode. Moreover, its Super QPD autofocus utilizes all 200 million pixels for focusing, and merges the four adjacent pixels on the sensor to make low-light pattern detection more accurate.

The HP2 can do 15fps bursts at its native 200MP resolution, which is making it one of the fastest sensors on the market.

The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 features HDR technology with DSG, allowing it to take both short and long exposures at the same time. Additionally, Smart ISO Pro provides the Galaxy S23 Ultra users the ability to capture 12.5MP images and 4K/60FPS HDR videos simultaneously.

JoonSeo Yim, Executive Vice President of Sensor Business Team Samsung said, “The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 harnesses Samsung’s high-resolution image sensor technologies and know-how at the cutting edge for epic details. Our leadership comes from innovative pixel technologies that allow our sensors to go beyond the number and size of pixels. We will continue to open new horizons and solidify our presence in the expanding ultra-high-resolution sensor market.”

The ISOCELL HP2 sensor is already in production, which provides further evidence that it will feature on the Galaxy S23 Ultra that is launching on February 1.
