In the last 10 months, Samsung has introduced two 200-megapixel camera sensors for smartphones. According to Ice Universe, a well-known source, a third sensor is coming and it will be on next year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra flagship, and the source is almost 100% accurate.
Interestingly, the name of the sensor on next year’s Galaxy flagships is still ISOCELL HP2, despite the HP3 model already being available.
The ISOCELL HP1 was the first 200-megapixel sensor, and we expect to see it debut in a Motorola smartphone this month. ISOCELL HP3 follows suit with a smaller sensor area of 1/1.4 inches, but faster autofocus thanks to a new design for each pixel, which features autofocus with each quad-pixel block group recognizing vertical and horizontal differences.
This is not the first time we’ve heard that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will receive a 200MP sensor. Another report suggests that while the main camera will be updated, the 10MP 10x periscope module is likely to remain the same.
