In 2019, Samsung introduced ISOCELL Slim GH1, which it claimed to be the world's first 0.7-micrometer (μm)-pixel image sensor. Now, the company is out with a smaller option.
Samsung announced today a new camera sensor that it says has the smallest size in the industry. The Samsung ISOCELL JN1 is a 0.64μm-pixel image sensor with 50MP options for both front and rear cameras.
Like other high-resolution camera sensors, the latest one from Samsung uses a pixel-binning technology that combines four adjacent 0.64μm-pixels into a single 1.28μm-pixel. What this means is that light sensitivity is increased in low-light conditions by four times to capture brighter 12.5MP images. Samsung claims a 16% improvement to light sensitivity, thanks to its ISOCELL 2.0 technology.
