Samsung had recently unveiled its new ISOCELL GN1 50 megapixel image sensor with 1.2μm pixels. What’s notable about this sensor is that it combines both the Tetracell and Dual Pixel technology to bring improved camera performance.
The new ISOCELL GN1 sensor delivers excellent performance that can nearly rival professional grade images in almost any environment, according to Samsung. In other words, it is useful in low light conditions, where it uses the 4:1 pixel binning technology to sharpen images with less noise. Furthermore, it also offers ultra fast autofocus which is apparently just as good as the ones found in DSLR cameras.

The fast autofocus time means that shots can be taken quicker, which is achieved thanks to the Dual Pixel technology. Samsung’s ISOCELL GN1 sensor manages to pull this off through algorithms that enable image quality to be on par with 100 megapixel resolution shots. Notably, the South Korean tech giant stated that higher resolution sensors typically employ 0.8μm pixels, which is smaller than the GN1’s pixels. In other words, the latter has an advantage during night time.
Furthermore, the Samsung GN1 sensor also utilizes ISOCELL Plus, which uses barriers to isolate individual pixels. This enables micro lens to allow more light into the pixel’s photodiodes, which in turn, improves color fidelity and offers more accurate color reproduction as well. The images are captured in 8,160 x 6,144 resolutions while its pixels uses Samsung’s real time HDR to capture better shadows, mid tones, and highlights.
