Samsung has officially announced the 108-megapixel camera sensor first teased by Chinese company Xiaomi last week. The new Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX is the first mobile camera sensor that offers more than 100 megapixels, exceeding the company’s recently announced 64MP sensor.
Samsung says the ISOCELL Bright HMX is the fruit of a ’close collaboration’ with Xiaomi.
The ISOCELL Bright HMX is the first mobile sensor to feature a 1/1. 33" size, according to Samsung, which says its Tetracell tech enables the HMX to ‘imitate big-pixel sensors’ for brighter 27MP images.
The sensor will be paired with what Samsung calls its Smart-ISO ‘mechanism,’ which toggles between a high ISO in darker environments and a low ISO in bright settings, the result being increased pixel saturation and the promise of ‘vivid photographs. ’ The new HMX supports recording video at up to 6K 6016 x 3384 at 30fps.
Talking about the new product is Xiaomi President Lin Bin, who said:
‘We are very pleased that picture resolutions previously available only in a few top-tier DSLR cameras can now be designed into smartphones. As we continue our partnership, we anticipate bringing not only new mobile camera experiences but also a platform through which our users can create unique content. ’
The company hasn’t yet revealed what those ‘new mobile camera experiences’ will be. Samsung plans to start mass-producing the ISOCELL Bright HMX in August.
