Samsung Electronics launched three new products for its ISOCELL image sensor line yesterday that aims to “bridge the gap between the main and secondary cameras.”

ISOCELL HP9 is the most notable product. This is a specialized telephoto image modification. The ISOCELL HP9 boasts 200MP resolution with a 1/1.4” sensor size and 0.56µm pixel size. The product is equipped with exclusive microlenses with high refraction to enhance the light collection, directing light more accurately to the RGB filter.

Compared to its predecessor, the ISOCELL HP9 has 12% higher light sensitivity and 10% improved autofocus. The product combines 16 pixels to act as a 12MP sensor with a large pixel size of 2.24µm. ISOCELL HP9 also supports 2x and 4x digital zoom. Therefore, the product can achieve 12x zoom when used in conjunction with a 3x telephoto lens.

ISOCELL GNJ is a 50MP dual-pixel sensor with a 1.0μm pixel size and 1/1.57” sensor size. The product uses deep trench isolation materials, switching from polysilicon to silicon oxide to minimize interference between pixels.

Additionally, power savings are improved, with preview mode and 4K@60 movie mode consuming 29% and 34% less power, respectively.

ISOCELL JN5 is another 50MP sensor with a 0.64μm pixel size and a 1/2.76” sensor size. The product uses Dual Vertical Transfer Gate (VTG) technology to enhance pixel power transmission, helping to reduce noise in extremely low light conditions. ISOCELL JN5 is also equipped with Super QPD (Quad-Phase Detection), which allows the product to compare phase differences both vertically and horizontally, improving autofocus capabilities.

Samsung describes the JN5 as a versatile and compact solution, suitable for use with a variety of cameras, including wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, and telephoto.

Samsung has not yet said when the above image sensors will appear in the phone. We have seen the ISOCELL HP9 used for the vivo X100 Ultra's telephoto camera though.
