Samsung ISOCELL GN2 50MP Camera Sensor Overview By Hubert Nguyen, on 04/01/2021 07:00 PDT Announced in late February, the new Samsung ISOCELL GN2 mobile camera sensor is starting to ship in smartphones such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. (official Samsung GN2 site) Advertising ISOCELL refers to Samsung’s generic brand for its sensor pixel technology that claims to reduce inter-pixel leakage of light, making pixel-sensing more accurate for colors, and details. The Samsung GN2 uses ISOCELL 2.0. The most obvious difference with the 108MP Samsung HMX series is the 50MP resolution, which may turn out to be a great trade-off in the real world. We previously pointed out that Xiaomi had an interesting 27MP auto-mode (read our Xiaomi Mi Note 10 camera review).
