Samsung introduced its 200 MP ISOCELL HP1 camera sensor in September last year, but we haven’t yet seen any device featuring this massive sensor. Samsung’s HP1 sensor incorporates a new pixel binning technology, called ChamelonCell, which can binning up to sixteen pixels at various resolutions ranging from 12.5MP photos (2.56μm pixels) to 50MP photos (2.56μm pixels). 1.28μm ) or natively at 200 MP (0.64μm pixels), depending on your needs. Now Samsung has released a video detailing the capabilities of the sensor. The purpose of the video is to show how much detail the HP1 sensor can retain. The video doesn’t use a phone to demonstrate the new sensor, but instead connects it to a breadboard, an external display, and a lens to capture some cat photos. The final 200 MP photo is printed on an industrial printer. The end result is a 28 x 22 meter canvas made up of twelve separate pieces that are sewn together and hung from a building. The big takeaway is that you can zoom and crop images without losing detail.
