According to latest reports, it seems like Samsung is developing their own image sensor, called BRITCELL, with amazing ability of taking pictures in low-light conditions. Wait until you see the difference…

Samsung BRITCELL: technology for future flagships

At its 2015 Electronics Investors Forum, Samsung spoke up about their next generation camera technology, developed for their Galaxy S7 and other future flagships. The most noticeable feature about this sensor is that, it uses a pixel technology to help enhance the light sensitivity and improve the quality of picture taking under low light. At the same time, the sensor will also reduce color artifacts. In terms of size, the sensor is only 5 mm in height with a reduced pixel size of 1.0um, suitable for any smartphone camera in the near future.

If you take a look at the demo picture below, you will see a significant difference. In order to maximize the BRITCELL’s light sensitivity, Samsung has re-arranged the pixel, to get as much light being absorbed by the sensor as possible. Samsung also claimed that, though onlyin 1.0um pixel size, the BRITCELL image sensor is made sure to have the same (or more) amount of sensitivity to light as any traditional smartphone camera sensor with 1.12um pixels. Right now, the company is trying to make up for the reduced sensitivity to green light.

To make it more complete, BRITCELL sensor has used smartphone WDR technology by Samsung, which gives the final picture a higher quality of better resolution. Something tells us that, it seems like Samsung is not negotiating with Sony to take over their IMX 300 image sensor used for the Xperia Z5 family products. Instead, we should expect Galaxy S7 to feature innovative BRITCELL technology, soon will go mass production.

Samsung BRITCELL sensor: featuring Galaxy S7?

Please keep in mind that, it is just our guessing about the use of BRITCELL image sensor in the upcoming Galaxy S7. They either confirmed or refused that their next monster will feature that one camera sensor by Sony, or this brand new BRITCELL instead. Who else is also interested in taking nice pictures even under low light? Like, of much higher resolution than what we know for now?
