Samsung unveiled two new camera modules - one 12MP and one 8MP - both of which are capable of capturing 1080p full HD video recording at an impressive 60fps. The new imager utilizes Samsung's advanced 1.4 micron (um) back side illuminated (BSI) pixel technology to offer superior low-light sensitivity. The new sensors won't be out for a while, but they will eventually find place in smartphones and high-end feature phones.
The 12MP imager with the uninspiring model name of S5K3L1, has a 1/3.2" backlit sensor with 1.12um pixels. The 12MP module will be available with an optional RGBW filter, which Samsung says boosts brightness by 30 percent and reduces noise. The second imager again uses a backlit sensor, but has an 8MP output resolution. Samsung says it offers great low-light sensitivity and low power usage. As for video, it can output 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps along with VGA@120fps slow-mo.
Samsung's 8Mp S5K3H2 is sampling now and is scheduled for mass production in the second quarter of this year. Samsung's diverse imager solutions including the S5K3H2 will be displayed at the Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Spain from February 14 to 17.
