Samsung today officially unveiled two next-generation mobile sensors, one of which is notable for its “ISOCELL HP1” model, which is the world’s first super-megapixel sensor with 200 million pixels.
“Samsung has been pioneering ultrafine pixel technology to take the development of high-resolution image sensors to the next level,” Samsung said. With the release of the groundbreaking ISOCELL HP1, Samsung continues to lead the next generation of mobile imaging technology.
The ISOCELL HP1 is based on Samsung’s most advanced 0.64μm technology. The ultra-high resolution ISOCELL HP1 comes in a compact package that fits well into today’s handheld devices. With ISOCELL HP1, you can see more detail in your photos, even if you crop or resize the image, you can keep it as sharp as possible.
The ISOCELL HP1 uses the new ChameleonCell technology, a pixel synthesis technology that can be used in 4×4, 2X2 or full pixel mode, depending on the environment.
ISOCELL HP1 transforms into a 12.5MP image sensor with a size of 2.56μm by merging 16 adjacent pixels in poor light conditions. The resulting 2.56μm pixel size absorbs more light and has higher sensitivity, making it possible to take bright, sharp pictures indoors or at dusk.
In well-lit outdoor environments, the ISOCELL HP1’s 200-megapixel “fire on fire” helps mobile devices capture ultra-high-resolution photos.
The ISOCELL HP1 can capture 8K video at 30 frames per second (FPS) with minimal field loss. It reduces resolution to 50Mp or 8192×6144 by merging 4 adjacent pixels to take 8K (7680×4320) video without cropping or reducing the full image resolution.

It’s worth noting that the mi 12 flagship has long been rumored to have a 200-megapixel camera debut, and if it’s true, this latest ISOCELL HP1 would be a great choice for the Mi 12, and the only one in the industry right now.
