Samsung says the HP9 contains a 1/1.4-inch sensor dimension, 0.56-micrometer (μm) pixel dimension, and makes use of a brand new high-refractive microlens to seize extra gentle and enhance autofocus. Most telephoto cameras in the present day aren’t fairly so excessive in megapixel rely, however the Honor Magic 6 Professional helped show how good a high-resolution telephoto sensor could be.

The twin-pixel sensor, Samsung says, options improved video, much less artifacting in images, and far decrease energy consumption. This sensor is in the identical collection as Google makes use of in its newest Pixel gadgets, making it at the very least a candidate for future Pixel telephones. That mentioned, this one is a smaller dimension, so it might not find yourself in a Pixel flagship anytime quickly, particularly seeing as Google doesn’t improve its fundamental sensor each era (and simply did so final 12 months).
These new digicam sensors might begin displaying up in Android telephones within the coming months, however Samsung hasn’t introduced any gadgets utilizing them simply but.
