South Korean technology giant Samsung announced the smartphone camera sensor, which it named ISOCELL HP1, last year. The ISOCELL HP1, which went down in history as the world’s first 200 MP smartphone camera, was able to group pixels with its ChameleonCell technology, thus providing very detailed images. However, the Samsung ISOCELL HP1 has not been used in any smartphone so far. This caused the camera performance to be still a matter of curiosity.
Now, Samsung has done an important job to show what ISOCELL HP1 has to offer. To demonstrate what this camera has to offer, Samsung engineers used special rigs and took a photo of a cat. The 200 MP resolution photo was then printed on industrial printers. Samsung’s aim in this study was to show how ISOCELL HP1 preserves details.
Here is the cat photo taken with Samsung ISOCELL HP1
It is not easy to print out a photo taken at 200 MP resolution. That’s why Samsung put the printed parts together afterwards. Because the size of the cat photo you see above is 28 meters by 22 meters…
The main reason behind the Samsung ISOCELL HP1’s ability to preserve the image in all its details is its pixel size. So much so that if you want to take a photo with a resolution of 200 MP while using this camera sensor, the determined pixel size is 0.64 micrometers. This causes every object that enters the frame to be recorded with the smallest possible details. Thus, details are fully preserved…
