Samsung has introduced the ISOCELL HP2 sensor for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Ultra model comes with better photography capabilities and it also has standout technology. Samsung has packed Galaxy’s biggest sensor, light-absorbing pixels and diverse cutting-edge technologies into one pro-grade camera powered by ISOCELL HP2, a 200MP image sensor.
In hard situations, Samsung’s ISOCELL HP2 image sensor enables users to capture epic details for images. The 200 MP sensor is the biggest sensor ever on a Galaxy device that improves image clarity while enhancing the appearance of colors in every pixel. Additionally, it comes with enhanced pixel structure, pixel binning technology, fast autofocus and HDR capabilities to take a higher level of photography experience.
Epic Details
Samsung explained “A 200MP image is 16 times bigger with 16 times more information than the 12.5MP image. This means that the image maintains its level of detail even after cropping. When zooming in on a photo for cropping, a photo typically appears blurry due to few image pixels. But this is not an issue with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. For example, even if a 200MP image is cropped in half, both vertically and horizontally, the resulting 50MP image maintains incredibly rich details. Furthermore, the ISOCELL HP2 utilizes an advanced deep learning algorithm to produce 200MP images with more accurate colors and details, made possible by the ISOCELL HP2. Whether you are zooming in on an image or cropping photos, experience clear and crisp details with the Galaxy S23 Ultra with ISOCELL HP2.”
Each Pixel Defines a Story
The ISOCELL HP2 features a re-designed pixel structure, Dual Vertical Transfer Gate(D-VTG), which enhances the appearance of colors and details in every pixel, even in some of the brightest conditions.
Output Options
The ISOCELL HP2 sensor provides 200MP, 50MP and 12MP output options that allow the user to change the resolution depending on their needs. By default mode, the ISOCELL HP2 produces a 12MP image by merging 16 pixels into one big pixel.
Nightography
In the latest Galaxy S23 Ultra model, Nightography capabilities have improved a lot. The Galaxy S23 Ultra features AI-enabled image signal processing technology that adjusts the saved data on the image sensor to improve the color tone and picture quality. Additionally, the ISOCELL HP2’s Tetra2pixel technology is an important enabler of the improved Nightography capability.
Super QPD technology
Samsung ISOCELL HP2 features Super QPD technology for faster autofocus. Each micro-lens covers four adjacent autofocus pixels, which allows the sensor to detect movement both in the horizontal and vertical direction.
Capture 4K and 8K videos
With the help of ISOCELL HP2 you can shoot 4K and 8K videos in Galaxy S23 Ultra. By using the ISOCELL HP2 in its 50MP mode, which combines four pixels into one big pixel with Tetra2pixel technology, the Galaxy S23 Ultra can capture 8K video with bright, clear colors and a wider angle than its predecessor.
ISOCELL HP2: Reduces Lag
Samsung has officially confirmed that it reduced the shutter lag in the latest Galaxy S23 Ultra. It allows you to effortlessly capture movement in a photo, while the Tetra2pixel technology enables 8K videos with wide angles. Whether in motion or under low light or bright sun, the new image sensor delivers unrivaled photos.
