Samsung’s new 32MP and 48MP smartphone camera sensors go into mass production later this year

While Google’s Pixel 3 and Apple’s iPhone XS may be the best cameras on the market today, it’s hard to ignore Samsung’s mobile photography prowess. This week, new Samsung camera sensors have been announced and are set to go into mass production later this year.

Detailed in a recent press release, Samsung’s new ISOCELL GM1 and ISOCELL GD1 deliver the whopping 32MP and 48MP sensors all designed to fit inside of your average smartphone. These new sensors should provide plenty of detail in their images, although it does come at the expense of surface area and, in turn, the available light to capture.


As cameras are becoming a key distinguishing feature in today’s mobile devices, smartphone makers are faced with the challenge to fit multiple cameras into the sleek designs of their latest flagships. At a reduced pixel size, the new sensors provide greater design flexibility, enabling camera module manufacturers to build smaller modules or pack more pixels into existing designs, and consequently allowing smartphone makers to maximize space utilization in slim, bezel-less smartphones.
