Samsung has two new ultra-high-resolution image sensors for phone cameras, offering up to 64 megapixel resolution.
The ISOCELL Bright GW1 operates in two modes: In bright light, it can produce a full 64-megapixel image. It can also utilize Tetracell pixel-merging (pixel binning) to combine four pixels into one, acting as 16-megapixel sensor with better low-light performance. The sensor also offers extended HDR and slow motion video up to full HD at 480 fps.
The second offering, the ISOCELL Bright GM2, offers most of the same features in a 48-megapixel sensor (12 megapixel with pixel binning).
The two sensor chips are currently sampling and are expected to be in mass production in the second half of this year
