Tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) claims that Samsung will launch its first 200MP ISOCELL camera sensor in September 2021. That's just one month away. Moreover, he also claims that the South Korean firm will launch a new 50MP camera sensor with an RGBW sub-pixel layout. Another tipster reiterated that the upcoming 50MP camera sensor will be used in the Galaxy S22 series.

This is not the first time when a 50MP sensor is being associated with the Galaxy S22 series, though. Last month, it was reported that the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S22+ will use a new ISOCELL 50MP sensor for the primary camera. The smartphones could feature a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
Conventional camera sensors feature red, green, and blue sub-pixels. An RGBW sensor has a white sub-pixel as well, which should theoretically offer improved highlight rendition in high-contrast scenes. Combined with the larger sensor and the white sub-pixel, the Galaxy S22 should offer improved image and video quality even in challenging situations.
It was rumored earlier that Samsung might collaborate with Olympus for a 200MP camera sensor in the Galaxy S22 Ultra. However, the rumor was later dismissed by some industry insiders. Ice Universe had mentioned last month that Samsung will not use a 200MP sensor in the Galaxy S22 Ultra and that the phone will instead come with the company's 108MP ISOCELL HM3 sensor with some enhancements.
