While the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is still a couple of months away. But prior the upcoming flagship lineup’s launch, interesting information regarding the base Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ has just surfaced.
S22、S22+ Camera ： GN5
— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) September 15, 2021
According to known tipster Ice Universe, the two smartphone models will use the recently launched ISOCELL GN5 camera sensor from Samsung. For those unaware, it is the latest sensor from the South Korean tech giant, which features a 1/1.57 inch sensor with a native 50 megapixel resolution and 1μm pixel size. This sensor is capable of capturing 12.5 megapixel shots in the quad pixel binning mode and up to100 megapixel images using a remosaic algorithm.
In other words, the new ISOCELL GN5 sensor is a step above the 12MP 1/1.76 inch sensor found in the Galaxy S21 and the Galaxy S21+. However, this sensor is still not the best 50 megapixel sensor under Samsung’s arsenal (Via SamMobile). Rather, the brand could’ve shipped the new premium grade handsets with its ISOCELL GN1 sensors or even the ISOCELL GN2 sensors, both of which feature sensors larger than the ISOCELL GN5 and are capable of capturing better images due to larger native pixels.
Furthermore, we had previously reported on a rumor that stated that the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ will feature a triple camera setup on the rear. This would consist of a 50 megapixel primary shooter, 12 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 10 megapixel telephoto sensor that offers 3x optical zoom. So, we can expect the S22 duo to offer better magnification over the S21 and S21+ that only offered digital zoom.
