New pixel pinnacle?
According to Samsung, the HP5 is designed to produce bright images in low-light environments and offer improved overall image quality, despite its small pixel size. The physical dimensions of the sensor are 1/1.56 inches.
The company reports using technologies such as Front Deep Trench Isolation (FDTI) and Dual Vertical Transfer Gate (D-VTG) to enhance each pixel's ability to capture light and detail. An improved DTI Center Cut (DCC) technology is also said to contribute to brighter and clearer images.

Samsung states the sensor provides a 150 percent increase in conversion gain and reduces random noise (RN) by 3 to 40 percent, depending on the shooting conditions. The ISOCELL HP5 enables 2x in-sensor zoom and can achieve up to 6x lossless zoom when paired with a 3x telephoto lens.
The sensor supports Smart ISO Pro and staggered HDR for enhanced HDR performance. For video, it is capable of recording 4K at 120 fps, 8K at 30 fps, and 1080p at 240 fps. It also supports 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit, and 14-bit RAW formats.
The new 200MP sensor is now in mass production and is anticipated to appear in several upcoming smartphone models. Among the first to use the said technology are the upcoming vivo Y500 Pro and OPPO Find X9 Pro.
