Samsung’s ISOCELL Zoom Anyplace tech: The future of video zoom

Samsung has unveiled its ISOCELL Zoom Anyplace technology, which uses its 200-megapixel sensors to achieve impressive video zoom. The feature can capture both the complete scene and zoomed-in areas simultaneously, and automatically follow and record a moving subject. Samsung first previewed Zoom Anyplace at a press event this month.

The company has not confirmed which devices will support the new feature, but it is likely to be the Galaxy S24 Ultra, its next flagship phone expected to launch early next year. The S24 Ultra is rumoured to have a 200-megapixel main sensor, similar to the S23 Ultra. Samsung’s promo video also shows that the feature is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the chip rumoured to run the S24 Ultra globally.

Samsung builds on camera module work with ISOCELL brand

Samsung looks like they’re getting serious about developing camera modules for smartphones. The South Korean company is naming this image sensor brand as ISOCELL. This new division will be developing four types of cameras that bear descriptive names: Bright, Fast, Slim, and Dual. The last seems like a nod to the possible inclusion of a dual camera setup in the upcoming Galaxy Note8.

Bright refers to sensors aimed at low-light shooting. It’ll offer high color fidelity and low noise. Fast alludes to instant autofocus and the ability to track fast-moving objects even in the dark. Slim type will feature smallest pixels available so they can create modules that will fit into phones where space is limited. And dual provides several sensors that can be paired in different configurations to get that dual-camera setup.
