Samsung is hyping the credentials of its 200MP HP1 sensor with a video showing some of the sensor’s capabilities. The video shows that the new sensor can preserve a great deal of detail. We are still awaiting the first smartphone to debut the Samsung 200MP sensor.

Samsung announced the ISOCELL HP1 sensor back in September 2021. It however seems a Motorola smartphone will be the first to have the monster sensor. The video details how the HP1 sensor was attached to a Frankenstein rig having a test board, an external display, and another lens. The setup was then used to capture photos of a cat. The photo output was then printed on an industrial printer.

 

The optimized still image of the cat was done on a 28 x 22 meters canvas with several 2.3m pieces attached together and hung on a building. The HP1 sensor is capable of zooming or cropping images while their details remain intact. The new ChamelonCell pixel binning technology is another great feature of the HP1 sensor. It allows the grouping of up to 16 pixels to achieve different resolutions from 12.5MP to 200MP.
