Samsung installs good cameras in its high-end smartphones, but the competition is still a bit ahead of the South Korean group. That could change soon, because now there is a new camera sensor that could clearly outperform the competition.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra could get 200 MP cameras

Some time ago, Samsung unveiled a camera sensor for smartphones that has a resolution of 200 MP. So far, the South Korean company has not officially installed this sensor in a cell phone. Even the competition has so far shown little interest in it. Instead, you continue to rely on a maximum of 108 MP cameras that deliver decent photos and videos. With the new ISOCELL HP3 from Samsung could change that (Source: Galaxy Club).

Accordingly, Samsung has developed a new 200 MP sensor, which this time maybe used in the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra could. The sensor would probably be too powerful for installation in the Galaxy Z Fold 4 or Galaxy Z Flip 4. The foldable smartphones always lag behind when it comes to the camera. However, the 200 MP sensor would be perfect for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, because it would take Samsung to the next step.

Specific details on the properties of the ISOCELL HP3 are not yet known. However, one can assume that Samsung has further optimized the new sensor so that one can take even better photos and videos with it. Samsung still has some catching up to do, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. The competition in image processing is much more constant and doesn’t deliver such different results.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra relies on a 108 MP main sensor:

200 MP sensors superfluous?

While Samsung’s 108MP sensors have been well received, the trend is currently turning somewhat. Top smartphones tend to rely on large sensors with a lower resolution of 50 MP in order to achieve better image quality. The first 200 MP sensor was not well received, so it is currently not possible to say whether the new model will do better. The resolution says nothing about the image quality. The software behind it decides whether a photo will be good.
