Samsung is pushing on the accelerator pedal not only with smartphones but also with photo sensors for devices. The last time we talked about photographic sensors was at the time when the behemoth introduced the 1 megapixel ISOCELL HP200. This is a sensor that Xiaomi and rival brands will probably use starting from next year. But we also know that pixels are not everything: here comes the sensor ISOCELL GWB. It is the closest photographic sensor to the human eye ever created in the history of mobile devices.
Samsung reveals at a TECNO Mobile conference the most majestic sensor ever created: few pixels, but truly superior GWB ISOCELL technology!
Samsung is developing its first ISOCELL camera with a pattern of RGBW color filter. The company confirmed this today in a webinar hosted by TECNO Mobile. The ambitious camera sensor is called ISOCELL GWB and, contrary to the previous entries, it has a 64 megapixel resolution compared to 50 megapixels.
Samsung Electronics Vice President and Head of Research and Development introduced ISOCELL GWB and defined it "the image sensor closest to the human eye". THEadding a white pixel in the RGB color filter pattern improves sensor sensitivity to the light. This clever arrangement of sub-pixels allows you to achieve brighter images and better color accuracy when taking pictures, even in low light conditions.
Samsung developed the ISOCELL GWB sensor in collaboration with the Chinese smartphone manufacturer TECNO Mobile. This partnership indicates that the ISOCELL GWB will debut on a TECNO smartphone next year. However, it may not remain its exclusive and other customers could benefit from this technological leap very soon. Among them we cannot fail to mention Xiaomi, realme and Oppo.
Either way, we can be pretty sure that the 64-megapixel ISOCELL GWB won't be the last RGBW sensor to come out of Samsung's R&D labs, albeit apparently it will be the first to arrive on the market Next year.
