The ISOCELL HP1 is a 200 MP image sensor that will debut next month on the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra.
Lee went on to add that “as exciting as it was, the challenge was demanding, as this was our first time showing the quality of an image sensor that had not yet been adopted in smartphones.” The team notes, “Choosing a cat as our subject was a difficult decision. It gave us many obstacles to overcome, such as capturing such an active subject with a test board. However, the team concluded that the subject should be something that would show a high level of detail. and that was a popular photography theme at the same time. “

Weighing with his opinion, photographer Hyunjoong Kim said, “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the raw image magnified to 100%. I was really amazed at the degree of detail. At that moment, I knew any prejudices I had. “Smart phone photography has been proven wrong before.” The canvas consisted of 12 separate pieces of fabric each weighing 2.3 meters long pieces of fabric (about 7-and-a-half feet each) that were sewn back together.
The image of the cat was transported by truck and a crane was used when it came time to unfold the photo on the side of a building. After the task was completed, the Samsung project manager noted, “When the image was deployed for the big reveal, the true enormity of it really struck me, and not just because of its actual size. The moment I witnessed the 200 million pixels presenting the wonderful detail of the cat’s eyes and fur, I was overwhelmed by all the effort that went into developing this final product. “
And if all goes well, consumers will get their first shot using a camera backed by Samsung’s 200MP sensor when the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is released next month.
