The single frame-based Smart-ISO Pro also improves dynamic range while minimizing motion artifacts, creating images with color depth as high as 14-bit.
On point autofocus
Experience ultra-fast autofocus. Packed with two photodiodes per pixel, ISOCELL GNK’s Dual Pixel Pro autofocus compares the phase difference in both the top and bottom and left and right directions. The sensor quickly focuses on objects in motion wherever they are in the frame.
Cinematic and dynamic
Capture your precious moments with impeccable detail. ISOCELL GNK lets you record 8K video at 30fps with minimal loss in the field of view. It also supports autofocus and HDR video in FHD mode with frame rates as high as 240fps.
Pro-grade low light photography
Experiment in any lighting conditions. In dim-lit situations, four neighboring pixels are merged into an even bigger 2.4μm pixel, achieving higher light sensitivity.
Building on on-chip remosaic technology, ISOCELL GNK maximizes the benefit of Tetrapixel in bright lighting conditions to produce 50MP images with exceptional quality.

Samsung is considering to launch an FE-branded Galaxy Z Flip 7 next year. The company reportedly entered a review of plans to introduce an affordable foldable phone this year. There is speculation that the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE might not debut this year.
According to TheElec, Samsung has been planning to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE next year. It may be cheaper than the regular variant in favor of a downgraded display and processor. However, Samsung’s pricing strategy would be worth seeing for its first affordable Flip phone.
This year, the South Korean tech giant is expected to launch only two foldable phones. While there are no signs of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, the Fan Edition may also be canceled in review. Therefore, an FE lineup of foldable phones – Flip and Fold will likely join the segment in 2025.
Samsung could hold the next Galaxy Unpacked on July 10 in Paris. At the event, the company may not only launch new foldable phones but the Galaxy Watch 7 series and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro could also be launched. Well, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the event so far.
We are also hearing that the Exynos 2400 might not be employed in the Galaxy Z Flip 6 this year. The company has reportedly tested it but the chip has failed to offer satisfactory results. This means the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also use Snapdragon chip internationally.
