Samsung to use 200-megapixel camera in upcoming S23 smartphone?
Samsung’s camera technology is becoming more advanced day by day and has previously developed the world’s first 200MP smartphone camera sensor, which features a dynamic pixel binning technology that can adjust the output resolution depending on input ambient light.
ISOCELL HP1 has already been developed but its successor ISOCELL HP3 is in news. According to Sammobiles, Samsung is working on this advanced sensor and could feature it in the upcoming S23 series of smartphones.

ISOCELL HP3 could also be used with the upcoming foldable Galaxy Z Flip 4 or the Galaxy Z Fold 4. At present times we see only 108MP and 50MP cameras set up to be used in smartphones that have been launched recently. Samsung is continuously working on an advanced camera setup but nothing can be cemented until a new device is launched.
What is ISOCELL Technology?
ISOCELL uses a new ChameleonCell tech that uses pixel binning technology, which either uses two-by-two, or four-by-four pixels combined together to bring ultra-resolution in a small package. This technology provides a picture that stays sharp, even when cropped or resized.
This ISOCELL camera sensor takes 8K videos at 30 frames per second. Merging the pixels eliminates the need to crop or scale down the image resolution, and this seems truly advantageous.
The sensor is eligible to absorb more light, producing brighter and clear photos in the indoor or evening environment. These sensors are more capable to take ultra-high-definition photographs on the mobile phone.
It’s the first time that Samsung has applied Front Deep Trench Isolation (FDTI), which is its proprietary technology. This technology holds more information in a form of light, improving the photodiode capacity and decreasing the cross-talk within the pixels.
We hope that we could see such high-tech and advanced camera sensors in upcoming Samsung smartphones.

Samsung to shake up Chip Division staff after public apology
At the earnings forecast, Samsung issued a public apology for disappointing performance. Now, a report suggests that Samsung could shake up the working staff of its Chip Division to foster competitiveness and growth.
Per KoreaTimes, Samsung may soon reshuffle its Chip Division operations. The company’s DS Division is on the radar of top executives, which oversees chip business. Samsung’s position is in danger as a chipmaker due to Foundry concerns.
Samsung is reportedly planning a regular personnel reshuffle in November this year. This time, major changes could be seen in the senior executive ranks. A layoff is also in the pipeline, aimed at cutting jobs in the marketing division.
Lee Jae-yong will mark his second anniversary as the head of Samsung on October 27. Market attention is now on how he will respond to the existing concerns and set a new course for the tech giant to ensure sustainable growth.
Samsung’s Lee could instruct the reduction of executives within the DS Division. In addition, several president-level technology officials overseeing the memory and foundry businesses could also be replaced with new talents to ensure growth.
Before the reshuffle, the Korean tech giant is thoroughly reviewing key business divisions to streamline underperforming areas, enhance competitiveness in memory chips, and improve communication between research and manufacturing teams.
DS Division is in crisis due to lower-than-expected profits despite the booming AI market. The company’s memory chip research and AI processor efforts are not paying off, requiring the need for an interception and transition.
