Samsung unveils what could be the future of photo sensor … – 01net

Smartphones are increasingly purposes, but this coin has a flip side: the Galaxy S6 to iPhone 6S, many high-end terminals have a view that extends beyond the rear cover. Spotted by Sammobile.com, the future Samsung BRITECELL sensor could afford to go again the front lens of the next terminal of the brand

This sensor, presented at the Samsung Electronic Investors Forum held last Monday, including the distinction of being more end of a millimeter compared to the previous generation called ISOCELL. A small millimeter counts because so much from 6 mm to 5 mm. Exactly what is beyond an iPhone

Small size

An improvement also implies a reduction in the size of photosites. – Improperly called “pixels” – moving from 1.12 micron to 1.0 micron, a surface reduction which should not, however, impact performance in low light as Samsung

The sensor including Samsung speak at its conference would thus have the same dimensions as the current sensors but mechanically increase from 16 20 Mpix this new density of photosites.

New colored matrix

On the photographic plane, the other change made by this future BRITECELL, c is its color matrix. In a normal sensor, the photosites are either red (25%), or blue (25%) or green (50%) and the image processor reconstructs the colors of individual pixels using information of adjacent pixels.

But this new component swapped green photosites * against white photosites, all to minimize brightness loss on the green channel (and thus reduce noise) and expand the dynamic range – we are talking about WDR for Wide Dynamic Range , extended dynamic range. The question remains how the processor he will interpret the color green

Given the amount of detail that Samsung announced on its new component, it is quite possible that this technology is integrated into the next Galaxy? S7. Especially as the current top model range of the brand, the Galaxy S6, is according to our tests, one of the best camera phones on the market. It is therefore crucial for Samsung to maintain its lead in this area.

* The eye and the human brain is more sensitive to variations of green, sensors logically respect this specificity and have 50% green photosites against 25% red and 25% blue.
