ISOCELL HW1 and HW2 could be Samsung's first 1-inch camera sensors, featuring 432MP resolution
According to a claim from tipster Revegnus, Samsung is working on two new ISOCELL camera sensors: ISOCELL HW1 and ISOCELL HW2. If you can remember, these are the company's first ISOCELL HW series sensors. The ISOCELL HW1 is said to be a 1/1.05-inch (nearly 1-inch) sensor with 0.56µm pixels and a whopping 432MP resolution. The ISOCELL HW2 is a slightly different 1/1.07-inch (nearly 1-inch) sensor with a 0.5µm pixel size and a resolution of 432 megapixels.
If this information is accurate, Samsung appears to be working on 1-inch sensors but also featuring extremely high resolution, double that of its current-generation flagship camera sensors. How would that affect image and video quality remains to be seen. Moreover, it isn't certain if these 1-inch camera sensors would be used by Samsung's flagship Galaxy S series smartphones.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 could use a 50MP camera seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 5
The tipster also made some pretty wild claims. According to them, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will continue to use the same camera (50MP ISOCELL GN3 1/1.56-inch) seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though, the South Korean firm will reportedly jump to a 200MP camera sensor (ISOCELL HP5 with 1/1.3-inch) with 0.5µm pixels.
