The HP1 image detectors makes use of0.64-µm-sized pixels, and in brightly lit surroundings can take full advantage of that caption-grabbing megapixel count. In further grueling lighting conditions, the company’s ChameleonCell pixel-binning technology merges 16 of those pixels into a four-by-four arrangement to transfigure the detector into a12.5-MP flavor rocking large2.56-µm pixels for bettered light immersion.
The technology can also combine bordering pixels in a two-by-two configuration to produce 50-MP images, or to enable 8K ( x) videotape at 30 frames per second that do not bear cropping or spanning.
Along with the HP1, Samsung also blazoned the assiduity’s first1.0-µm image detector to come with integrated Binary Pixel Pro autofocus technology. The ISOCELL HP5 is designed to ameliorate autofocus performance by packing each pixel with two photodiodes that register pattern changes in all directions for AF that”becomes immediate.”
Samples of both detectors are available to manufacturers now, however there is no suggestion when the first smartphone rocking either technology will appear. The online scuttlebutt shop is presently favoring a Xiaomi flagship for the debut of the ISOCELL HP1 in 2022.
