Samsung Introduces New 108MP ISOCELL HM3 Image Sensor

Samsung introduces new ISOCELL HM3 sensor feat.

Along with the launch of its latest Galaxy S21 series, Milky way Buds Pro, and the Milky way SmartTag, Samsung has introduced the adjacent-gen ISOCELL prototype sensor to boost its smartphone cameras prowess. The 108MP ISOCELL HM3 sensor comes with various new technologies that are designed to better the autofocus, dynamic range, and low-calorie-free capabilities of smartphone cameras.

Now, if you are unaware, autonomously from Android phones and other electronic appliances, Samsung also develops advanced epitome sensors for smartphone cameras. The Korean behemothic introduced the ISOCELL Bright HM1 1/1.33″ sensor terminal year which powers the cameras of Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series devices. Later, the visitor launched the ISOCELL HM2 1/1.33″ sensor which is there in Xiaomi'south Mi 10i.

Now, Samsung has developed the third iteration of the ISOCELL image sensor which is also a 108MP sensor. However, this one comes with 0.8μm and nine-pixel binning that offers 12MP output.

The new ISOCELL HM3 features an improved Super PD Plus that drastically improves the accuracy of the phase-detection focusing agents. As a result of this improved phase-detection car-focusing (PDAF) organisation, smartphone cameras with this new sensor volition exist able to go on fast-moving objects in abrupt focus and also enhance the depression-light images.

In general lighting conditions, the sensor uses Smart ISO Pro technology, which is essentially a loftier-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging tech. This uses an intra-scene dual conversion gain (iDCG) arrangement to capture an image in both low and high ISO and so merge both the image into a single i in 12-scrap colour depth. This also reduces the racket in images, resulting in clearer pictures than before.

Moreover, the new sensor uses three-by-three color structures which is suitable for 9-pixel binning. As a issue, the 108MP HM3 sensor is able to simulate a 12MP image sensor with larger two.4μm-pixels and improved binning hardware IP. And with this in identify, the cameras volition be able to transition between 108MP and 12MP resolutions smoothly.

Autonomously from these, the new ISOCELL HM3 also reduces power consumption in preview mode by 6.v% and supports video recording at 8K @ 30FPS, 4K @ 120FPS, and FHD @ 240FPS.

Currently, this new and improved 108MP sensor is being used in Samsung'south newest Milky way S21 Ultra flagship. Still, we tin can expect to come across the ISOCELL HM3 sensor in other high-end smartphones releasing this yr.
