Samsung’s ISOCELL sensor technology has played an important role in improving the phone quality of the phone, and he hopes to repeat the performance with the continuation of the technology. Android Authority reports that Samsung has formally launched ISOCELL 2.0, a significant upgrade that promises more vivid photos and better low-light shots for phones with high-resolution cameras.
The new sensor system builds on ISOCELL Plus, which reduces light loss by replacing the metal barriers between color filters with an ‘optimized’ material. ISOCELL 2.0 replaces the lower part of the color filter barriers with a more reflective material that not only further reduces light loss, but ‘drastically’ increases light sensitivity. In other words, you can put more pixels in a sensor while preserving color and minimizing noise.
The company previously said a new range of 0.7 micron sensors in 108MP, 64MP, 48MP and 32MP varieties would use (then mysterious) ISOCELL 2.0 technology. We asked Samsung if it can say where and when the sensors will find use, although it is not yet in the company’s flagship phones. The Galaxy S21 Ultra, for example, uses only an earlier 0.8 micron 108MP sensor. Don’t be surprised if future Samsung flagship phones boast similar high-resolution cameras that deliver more accurate (or at least more pleasing) snapshots.
