Fine details with true-to-life colors

Inspired by ISOCELL

Samsung ISOCELL GM2 is an ultra-high 48Mp resolution 1/2.25" image sensor with amazing light-sensitivity with Tetrapixel/Remosaic technology.

ISOCELL Plus

Tiny yet powerful pixel performance

ISOCELL Plus technology uses special wall material that reduces optical loss and light reflection allowing the sensor to receive more light even in sub-micro sized pixels. This enables ISOCELL GM2 to pack 48 million of 0.8um pixels in small 1/2.25” sensor and deliver high color fidelity and quality pictures.

Tetrapixel Technology

Take sharp and bright night shots

ISOCELL GM2 comes with special Tetrapixel technology that merges four neighboring 0.8um pixels to act as single 1.6um pixel . This increases the light sensitivity of the images sensor by four times making it ideal when taking bright 12Mp pictures in the night time or in-doors. When in well-lit area such as outdoors, ISOCELL GM2 uses Remosaic algorithm to re-organize colors on the color filter array to RGB Bayer pattern to take highly detailed 48Mp photographs.

Super-PD Auto Focus

Don’t miss the moment you love

ISOCELL GM2 allows smartphones or mobile cameras to take pictures right off the bat with incredibly fast Super-PD Auto Focus. Super-PD AF focuses by using a special oval lens over two pixels to work as one of many phase detecting agents in the sensor. Moving or not, subjects captured will be sharper with Super-PD AF.

Smart-ISO

Optimal dynamic range with less noise

ISOCELL GM2 is embedded with the Smart-ISO, a light(photon) to electric signal converting mechanism that adjust the conversion based on the brightness or darkness of the environment. With Smart-ISO, pictures taken in low-lit environment are less noisy and are more detail and colorful in sunny out-doors.

Smart WDR

Capture extraordinary
range of contrast

ISOCELL GM2 is structured with specific sWDR pattern to receive and process two different sets of exposure for real time HDR. With multi-exposure processing, pictures taken where dark and light areas co-exist will stay sharp with appropriate brightness.
