Samsung is reportedly preparing a new ISOCELL photo sensor with a resolution of 200 MPx. According to unofficial information, it bears the designation S5KGND, but more importantly, it is said that it will make its debut not in a smartphone of the South Korean technology giant, but of ZTE.
According to one of the posts on the Chinese social network Weibo, the ZTE Axon 5 Pro smartphone will be the first to have the S200KGND 30 MPx photo sensor. The phone does not yet have an official launch date, but apparently its launch is already underway veryeven close. It could appear in a Samsung smartphone later this year, possibly in a flexible phone Galaxy From Fold 3 or the next row Galaxy Notes.
The sensor should have a size of 1/1.37″ and pixels of 1,28 microns and will reportedly support both 4-in-1 and 16-in-1 pixel binning technology. Although 8K shooting is only just beginning to gain ground in the world of flagship smartphones, the sensor should support 16K recording. However, for such high-resolution videos, really large storage would be needed, because as you know, one minute of video taken at half the resolution takes about 600 MB.
That Samsung's new photo sensor should debut in a phone other than its own is nothing unheard of. This happened, for example, in the case of its 108MPx ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor, which was the first to be used by the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 smartphone (however, Samsung collaborated with Xiaomi on the sensor).
