Isocell HP9
According to Samsung, the Isocell HP9 excels in creating high-quality microlenses that enhance light absorption on RGB colour filters, making it ideal for mobile photography and gaming enthusiasts.
The Isocell HP9 supports 200 million pixels and possesses a variety of capabilities, with the most prominent being its ability to perform well in low-light conditions. It achieves this by combining 16 pixels into 12MP, using 2.24-micrometre-sized sensors that absorb light better for sharp and detailed portraits.
Moreover, it offers 12x optical zoom when its 4x in-sensor zoom modules are combined with the 3x telephoto zoom module.
Isocell GNJ
The Isocell GNJ supports dual-pixel sensors with 50 million 1-micrometre-sized pixels in a 1/1.57-inch optical format and provides accurate autofocus, featuring two photodiodes.
Isocell JN5
The Isocell JN5 features 50 million pixels with 0.64-micrometre-sized pixels in a 1/2.76-inch optical format. It also includes dual vertical gate technology, which enhances charge transfer within pixels to reduce noise and improve image quality in low-light conditions.
Additionally, it incorporates phase detection technology for improved high dynamic range and is versatile enough to be used in both main and sub-camera setups, enhancing wide-angle and telephoto capabilities.
