Samsung Galaxy S9 Camera Capabilities Spotted in New ISOCELL Sensors Ahead of MWC 2018

About a month ahead the launch of the new flagship models at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, Samsung has revealed its new ISOCELL family that come with technologies such as Tetracell and Smart WDR to enhance image results. The new camera sensor technologies will probably enable features such as a variable aperture and slow-mo video recording that are rumoured to debut with the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ next month. Also, as some early rumours suggested, the new technologies will blend with the company's Dual Pixel sensors to uplift the overall camera experience.

First in the new line is the ISOCELL Bright that uses the presence of Samsung's Tetracell technology to improve light sensitivity in low-light conditions by amalgamating four neighbouring pixels into one giant pixel. The technology was originally announced back in last October. Moreover, Samsung has integrated its Smart WDR feature that enables the sensor to capture multiple exposures in a single shot. This is apparently to beautify selfies and the shots mainly taken by the front-facing camera. The mix of Tetracell and Smart WDR will enable the new camera sensors to capture greater detail in both bright and dark environments over what has been offered by the company so far.

Apart from the camera-centric features, the Galaxy S9 box showed that there will be stereo speakers tuned by AKG as well as AKG-tuned earphones. The handset was also spotted with a 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display with rounded corners, similar to the Galaxy S8.

Details about the top-end camera capabilities of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are likely to be revealed at MWC 2018 next month.
