Samsung announces the 16MP & 13MP ISOCELL CMOS Image sensors

16MP ISOCELL CMOS Image Sensor

Other deep (since these are things you do not see from the outside of a device) things that Samsung has announced in Barcelona is their ISOCELL image sensors. If you have read this article by me then you can stop reading now and proceed to other Samsung news within this blog. Or you can continue.

Samsung has announced their 13MP and 16MP ISOCELL CMOS image sensors. Samsung's ISOCELL technology increases the sensor's light sensitivity and effectively controls the collection of electrons (that is what their official announcement said).

The Samsung Galaxy Camera II

Ahead of CES 2014 in Las Vegas, Samsung announces, finally, the next-gen Samsung Galaxy Camera II. This camera apparently succeeds on the success of the original Galaxy Camera. The one thing I immediately noticed with the Galaxy Camera II is it's width. Samsung has done a good job in actually making this camera thinner than what it succeeds. Design-wise, the GCam2 does not really go far away from it's older brother which is nice because we want this line of camera from Samsung a bit noticeable. Once you get to see that aesthetics, you'd immediately identify it as the GCam2. Like almost all of Samsung's announced devices, the Galaxy Camera 2 does not come with information regarding when and where this camera will be sold. But taking note of the original Galaxy Camera, expect this to be sold around the world.

Samsung launched ISOCELL a new image sensor technology for mobile devices

Yesterday, Samsung launched a new image sensor that is bound to be found in their high-end mobile devices in the future. The new technology basically goes away of the current trend of Back Side Illumination (BSI) which is found inside the Galaxy S 4 and the Galaxy Note III. According to Samsung, ISOCELL "technology forms a physical barrier between neighboring pixels – isolating the pixel. This isolation enables more photons to be collected from the micro-lens and absorbed into the correct pixel’s photodiode minimizing undesired electrical crosstalk between pixels and allowing expanded full well capacity (FWC)."

Samsung Premiere: The Samsung Galaxy NX Android camera with changeable lens

The only device that Samsung announced with the "Galaxy" on its name, the Samsung Galaxy NX. I do not think this is the successor to the Galaxy Camera, This camera belongs to a different segment of the market or category. According to Samsung (because I am not an expert in Cameras) this is the world's first 3G/4G LTE connected Compact System Camera (CSC). I don't know what camera owns the crown of the world's first Android powered CSC with interchangeable lens. But anyway, this is brilliant. You can just see how Samsung is pushing it to the boundaries with their devices and doing crazy stuff (that might actually work). Samsung Camera/Imaging is a nobody in the camera world, I believe, because this market is taken by either Nikon or Canon but eventually Samsung will get their. Anyway, this camera runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and all the amazing things a CSC should offer (you see? I ain't an expert). With regards to its availability and pricing we still do not have anything.
