Samsung ISOCELL GN5

Samsung ISOCELL GN5 is a 50MP camera sensor, which is the world’s first 50MP smartphone camera sensor with Dual Pixel Pro autofocus technology for all-directional autofocusing. It has a 1/1.57-inch sensor with a 1μm pixel size. It supports 12.5MP images in 2x2 pixel binning mode under low-light conditions. Like the ISOCELL HP1, the GN5 also supports 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps video recording. Further, it features Front Deep Trench Isolation (FDTI) technology to absorb as much light as possible inside a pixel and reduces crosstalk for lower noise.

Both these ISOCELL sensors are available for sampling and are expected to feature in smartphones next year.
