Back in September, Samsung announced a new advanced pixel technology called ISOCELL. During their analyst day, they announced that they will utilize ISOCELL with next year’s flagship phones, such as the Galaxy S 5 and the Note 4.
ISOCELL aims at improving light absorption. As cameras have evolved, the emphasis has shifted from Front Side Illumination (FSI) to Back Side Illumination (BSI), but BSI is facing limitations since pixels continue to shrink. ISOCELL forms a physical barrier between neighboring pixels, which eliminates cross talk and allows more photons to be collected.
The slide above was shown to investors during Samsung’s analyst day confirming that we will see 16MP ISOCELL sensors.
There is one thing missing from that slide, and that’s optical image stabilization (OIS). Just about every flagship phone offers it on top of their own pixel technology. HTC offers Ultra Pixel and Motorola has Clear Pixel, but both companies offer OIS as well. There was a report late last month indicating OIS wouldn’t be included on the Galaxy S 5 due to supply constraints. Samsung is offering what they call Smart Stabilization on the Galaxy Note 3, which is software related. I suspect we will get something similar in the Galaxy S 5.
