Technological advancements can bring about many benefits to consumers. One such advancement is fitting more powerful cameras to smartphones. Samsung is at the forefront of this, and has been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with its 108-megapixel (Mp) ISOCELL Bright HMX. It’s the first mobile image sensor that exceeds 100 million pixels and enables user to capture extremely sharp photos.

Samsung’s image sensor is able to achieve this by utilizing 0.8μm-sized pixels. It is also able to absorb more light in low-lit environments, minimizes optical loss as well prevents each 0.8μm pixel from being contaminated by the colors of the ones adjacent to it.

In addition to this, it also allows the photodiode to absorb more light, resulting in superb pixel performance. Check out the video below to see the ISOCELL Bright HMX’s features and benefits.

The ISOCELL Bright HMX also incorporates Smart-ISO technology (including one low and one high amplification ISO). It helps to optimize light-to-electric signal conversations. These features help users capture decent shots in various lighting conditions. Super-PD and autofocus offer improved speed and stability.

Conventional autofocus technology requires more lighting input to achieve the same image quality but trial and error is required to capture the perfect angle. Thankfully, with Super-PD technology, the distance will be calculated automatically to allow the image sensor to focus on the object.
