Samsung ISOCELL JN1
Last June, the South Korean tech giant introduced the 50-megapixel (MP) ISOCELL JN1 as the world’s first 0.64-micrometer (μm)-pixel image sensor (smallest). The image sensor comes with enhanced ISOCELL 2.0 pixel technology, Smart-ISO, and Double Super PDAF to capture more vivid images.
For taking images in low light conditions, the JN1 employs Samsung’s four-to-one pixel binning tech, Tetrapixel which merges four adjacent 0.64μm-pixels into one big 1.28μm-pixel to quadruple light sensitivity for brighter 12.5Mp photographs.
