Samsung Mobile has been hard at work developing a 200-megapixel camera, based on the ISOCELL HP1 sensor, for use in its upcoming smartphones, and a report from Korea says that work on it has been completed. The camera has been named ISOCELL HP2.
What to expect from Samsung’s 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 camera
- 4×4 pixel binning
- faster auto focusing
- high dynamic range images
- capture clearer photos in dark
- 8K videos at 30fps
- 4K slow-motion clips at 120fps.
All of these is to say that you can expect groundbreaking performance. It is true that megapixels is not all there is to producing quality images. But then, it is also true that it is what you do with all those megapixels that matter, and Samsung appears to have out in the work on this.
Which smartphones will use the ISOCELL HP2 200-megapixel lens first?
There is rumour that this new camera will feature in the next Samsung premium flagship, Galaxy S23 Ultra, similar to how the S22 Ultra 5G has an ISOCELL HM3 108-megapixel camera. If history is anything to go by, Xiaomi is likely to put this camera in at least one of their high-end models as well. The Chinese company has a reputation of Sampling high megapixel cameras from Samsung.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro , for example, was the first smartphone globally to use the ISOCELL HMX. And what a solid camera it turned out to be (see our Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro review and long-term review ). Other Xiaomi camera phones have used a range of ISOCELL lenses.

As a smartphone enthusiast, your primary interest in Google IO 2022 is likely the announcement of Pixel 6a 5G and of Android 13 features. In addition to that, news of the Pixel Bud Pro, Pixel Watch and Wear OS 3 just might catch your fancy as well. The event has come and gone, and we have compiled the product key announcements for your convenience.
- New Google Wallet
- Google Pixel 6a 5G
- Pixel Buds Pro
- Android 13 Developer Preview is rolling out
- Google Pixel Watch coming in Fall 2022
- Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are on the way
- Pixel Tablet in the works
New Google Wallet
If you are wondering, yes; a new Google Wallet has been announced. It supports debit/credit cards, digital IDs, vaccine certificates, and NFC for contactless payments, and will be available for Android and Wear OS devices in the coming weeks in “over 40 countries”.
Google Pixel 6a 5G
The Pixel 6a 5G is official and a bit of a mixed bag. Here are the specs:
- 6.1-inch display, 60Hz refresh rate, OLED, Gorilla Glass 3
- 6 GB RAM
- 128 GB built-in storage
- 4410mah battery
- 18W fast charging
- IP67 waterproof rating
- 5G network support
- Price: $449
We would have loved to see at least 90Hz refresh rate in that display, as well as faster charging. And Gorilla Glass 3 is almost a dinosaur now, if we are being honest. The Pixel 6a will be available in select markets from July 28.
Pixel Buds Pro
Another product announced at Google IO 2022 are the new premium Pixel Buds Pro in-ear wireless earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation. They have IPX4 water resistance, and the case is IPX2 water resistant.
The Pixel Buds Pro come in four colour options: Coral, Lemongrass, Fog and Charcoal, and carry a $199 price tag. They are available to order from July 21.
Android 13 Developer Preview is rolling out
Android 13 Developer Preview is rolling out to a number of devices, including: OPPO Find N, Find X5 Pro, OnePlus 10 Pro, and Relate GT 2 Pro. The preview is based on Android 13 beta 1 and meant for developers to test and fine-tune their apps. If you’re up for the adventure, why not? Do bear in mind that this version is not meant for every day use and can bug the heck out of you, should you install it.
Google Pixel Watch coming in Fall 2022
The much-anticipated Pixel Watch was not announced today at Google IO 2022. Instead, Google says it will be announced alongside the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro later in the year. You can expect it to come with Fitbit integration, which means all the great tools you expect, including fitness tracking, continuous heart rate tracking, and sleep tracking, among others.
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are on the way
The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro were not announced at Google IO 2022, but will arrive later in the year. They will be powered by the next generation Tensor chipset. While the Pixel 7 will have two cameras at the back, the 7 Pro will have three.
Pixel Tablet in the works
Google is working on a Pixel tablet too, to compliment the Pixel phones, and they provided a sneak peak of what it looks like at Google IO 2022. The company did not provide details, except that it will be powered by a Tensor chipset. When can you expect to see it in the market? Google did not say.
And it is a wrap with Google IO 2022. Which of the products announced at this event have you excited? Will you be buying the Pixel 6a when it becomes available, or waiting for the Pixel 7, or perhaps opting for a Pixel 6 or 6 Pro instead?
