Samsung introduces the ISOCELL HP1, which the company claims is the first 200 megapixel (MP) image sensor for smartphones, and the ISOCELL GN5.

The announcement was made on Samsung's Newsroom blog, which says that thanks to these sensors, photos will retain "ultra-high resolution" even when cropped or resized.
The ISOCELL HP1 features new ChameleonCell technology, which changes the pixel arrangement of the sensor depending on the environment. The HP1 goes from a 200MP to a 12.5MP image sensor in low-light conditions by merging nearby pixels.
This new construction makes the sensor more sensitive to light, producing clear images even in low light.
