Samsung outs slim 12 MP and 24 MP camera sensors, ripe for the Galaxy S9
Samsung ISOCELL Fast 2L9
The other new sensor is the 24MP ISOCELL Slim 2X7 beast, and that would be a record resolution for Samsung when it makes it in a phone. The Slim 2X7 is apparently the first sensor in the industry to have a pixel size below 1.0μm. Before you scoff at the new 0.9μm size that on theory would mean less light being captured by each individual pixel, Samsung was quick to clarify that it has enhanced their isolation, so there is less noise and color crosstalk compared to previous sensors with smaller pixels.
This would allow for the 24 MP Slim Jim to be fitted in the thinnest of Samsung smartphones, or combined with the new 12 MP one in a dual camera set that may take less space than the kit in the Note 8. Since the Galaxy S9 is heavily rumored to sport a dual camera, one or both of these new ISOCELL sensors might make it in Samsung's next flagship phone.
