Multiple
cameras is a must feature in almost every smart phone these days.
Recently, Samsung has launched the
Galaxy A7 2018 and
Galaxy A9 2018
which triple and quadruple cameras respectively.
There is a possibility of adding more features to these multi cameras
sensors without adding any volume to the design. Samsung has just
unveiled two new camera sensors.
South Korean brand Samsung has just unveiled two new 0.8-micrometer
image sensors for devices with multiple cameras. These are 48MP Samsung
ISOCELL Bright GM1 and the 32MP ISOCELL Bright GD1.
Both camera sensors are manufactured with the goal to allow smartphone
manufacturers to fit more cameras in a single device without adding any
volume to the smartphone’s size.

The reduced pixel size of these camera sensors allows smartphone makers
to build smaller camera models without compromising the design
footprints of a specific device.
However, image quality is compromised on smaller pixels, but this still
fits like a good solution for secondary camera sensors.
Samsung has employed Isocell Plus and Tetra cell technology in both the
GD1 and GM1. It allows four pixels to work as one to increase light
sensitivity.
The GD1 also supports the HDR feature. The manufacture of both sensors
is expected to start in Q4 2018, while smartphones equipped with them
should arrive in the upcoming months. |
