The Samsung Galaxy S23 series has been the subject of rumours for several weeks. Three models, the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra, are anticipated to be part of the lineup. Samsung has not yet officially announced the launch of its new series, but the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera specifications have already hit the internet. A 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL sensor is reported to be the central focus of the rumoured flagship smartphone’s quad back camera system. A sensor for the main rear camera may have 0.6-micron pixels and an f/1.7 aperture. According to rumours, Samsung has broadened the Galaxy S23 Ultra supply chain, and 12-megapixel and 10-megapixel sensors from Sunny Optical could be used in the upcoming flagship.
Samsung has unveiled two 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP1 and 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP3 sensors in the past two years that use pixel-binning technology to capture images with a maximum resolution of 200 megapixels. The ISOCELL HP3 contains pixels that are 0.56 micron in size compared to the 0.64 micron of the ISOCELL HP1. According to a rumour by Phonearena, Samsung will include a unique 200-megapixel ISOCELL sensor on the next Galaxy S23 Ultra that will sit between these two sensors and have pixels with a 0.64-micron pixel size, a 1/1.3 sensor size, and an f/1.7 aperture. It is also rumoured to have a 50-megapixel pixel-binned resolution.

According to the claim, the sensor’s 50-megapixel pixel-binned mode would deliver 1.12-micron pixels. The resolution may be reduced to 12.5 megapixels in low-light situations, but with to Samsung’s image processing technology and 2.4-micron pixels, it may still provide a special night shooting option. Users may be able to capture 8K video in its entirety in the 50-megapixel default mode.
According to rumours, the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra will have four cameras on the back, the same number as the Galaxy S22 Ultra from this year. A 12-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, a 10-megapixel telephoto shooter with 10x optical zoom support, and a 10-megapixel telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom could be included in addition to the 200-megapixel core sensor. A new 12-megapixel selfie sensor is also expected to be included with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Samsung will have new camera suppliers for the 10-megapixel folded zoom optics sensor, according to The Elec (Korean). In order to deliver the 12-megapixel ultra-wide and 10-megapixel folded zoom (10x) shooters for the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra, Sunny Optical is said to have entered Samsung’s supply chain.
