Samsung launches 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera with Tetra2pixel technology
After months of rumors and three different 200MP image sensors, Samsung has officially introduced the new 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera with improved pixel technology. This new ISOCELL image sensor brings full-well capacity for stunning mobile images, and almost confirmed to debut with Galaxy S23 Ultra.
According to the press release, the new Samsung ISOCELL HP2 camera uses 200MP 0.6-micrometer (μm) pixels in a 1/1.3” optical format. Even with such massive pixel resolution, the sensor has a slim form factor so the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera bump may not expand thickness.

Samsung Tetra2pixel
The 200MP ISOCELL camera packs Samsung’s Tetra2pixel (advanced pixel-binning technology) which adds more versatility by simulating different pixel sizes to accommodate varying lighting levels.

This advanced image sensor transforms either into a 1.2μm 50MP or 2.4μm 12.5MP in low light conditions by binding four to 16 neighboring pixels. It will bring further advancements to Samsung’s nightography feature.
For 8K video, the image sensor switches to 1.2μm 50MP mode to minimize cropping and capture more of the scene. 8K video recording at 30 fps with bigger pixel size can produce sharp cinematic videos.
“The Samsung ISOCELL HP2 harnesses Samsung’s high-resolution image sensor technologies and know-how at the cutting edge for epic details,” said Executive Vice President of Sensor Business Team at Samsung Electronics.
D-VTG (Dual Vertical Transfer Gate) technology
Samsung’s Dual Vertical Transfer Gate method can reduce overexposure and enhance color reproduction with more electrons stored and efficient signal transfers so washed-out pictures from brightly lit environments can be reduced.
In a photodiode within each pixel, a voltage transfer gate is placed on the bottom to transport electrons from the pixels to the logic layer. With high precision, D-VTG adds a second transfer gate in the pixel, boosting the pixel’s full-well capacity by more than 33 percent.
Super QPD
ISOCELL HP2 camera takes the auto-focusing feature to the next level, thanks to Samsung’s Super QPD technology. It allows the sensor to use all its 200-million pixels for focusing agents for faster and more accurate auto-focusing.
DSG feature in 50MP
For the first time in 50MP mode, the company introduced the DSG feature, which applies two separate conversion values to the analog signal received at the pixel level. Moreover, the Smart-ISO Pro allows the camera to take 12.5MP images and 4K at 60fps video in HDR.
Samsung’s premium wireless earbuds making a comeback this year. Last year, the company didn’t launch premium earbuds, but brought the first pair of FE-branded Galaxy Buds. Samsung is expected to launch Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in the next Unpacked, which features a 500mAh battery case.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro case packs a 500mAh battery, first spotted by 91mobiles. The Buds 2 Pro also brings a charging case with a 500mAh battery. Apart from TUV certification, the product has also surfaced on India’s BIS certification site, confirming its imminent debut.
In particular, the upcoming Galaxy earbuds are listed with the model number EB-BR630ABY on TUV and BIS. Each earbud of the Galaxy Buds 2 features a 58mAh battery and Samsung might ship the Buds 3, at least, with the same battery capacity.
April is about to end and the next Unpacked will likely be held in mid-July this year. Samsung’s Buds 3 Pro may be unveiled alongside new foldables and wearables. In addition, the company may also release its first smart ring, the Galaxy Ring.

Samsung launched a new 50W charging adapter (EP-T5020) with dual ports. The product is available in select European countries and we hope the company will soon bring it to more markets. As there’s no phone capable of charging over 45W speed, the 50W adapter is still worth buying.
The New Samsung 50W adapter brings dual ports, allowing users to charge two Galaxy phones at 25W simultaneously. When both ports are used, the adapter will distribute 25W each, making it easier to get two Galaxy devices charged at the same time.
To get 50W speed (USD PD PPS protocol), you need to use the first port, usable to charge Galaxy Book laptops. For additional convenience, the secondary port is capped at 25W charging speed. This means you are not required to charge two devices to get 25W output.
Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, S23 Ultra, S23 Plus, and M55 5G are some Samsung devices that support 45W fast charging. Most Galaxy phones and tablets have 25W charging support, which is not much less than Samsung’s 45W brick.
While the availability is limited, the 50W brick can be owned for €69.90. Meanwhile, Samsung also sells 65W triple-port EP-T6530, which you can buy for Galaxy Book laptops. Future Galaxy flagships should bring even more faster charging tech, it’s a long-standing demand.
