Samsung Confirms 2014 Flagships to Have 16MP ISOCELL Cameras!

From the same Samsung Analyst Day 2013 conference call that told us about Samsung's next-gen processing plans and 100 million Galaxy S's and Notes selling 2013, we get information about 2014 Samsung flagship camera.
Directly from the President of System LSI Business we learn that in 2014, Samsung smartphones will be featuring a new 16MP ISOCELL sensor with 1.12 µm pixels.

Samsung flagships are confirmed to be featuring a 16MP ISOCELL camera in 2014.

We know that an 8 MP ISOCELL sensor is being tested by Samsung and is expected to hit mass production in Q4 of this year (and will most likely be featured in the Galaxy S5 in 2014). ISOCELL promises increased light sensitivity over BSI (backside-illuminated) sensors, and offer higher color fidelity and improved low light performance thanks to better control of electron absorption.

Judging by the source of the information we guess there's no doubt anymore whether Sony or Samsung will supply the sensor in the upcoming Galaxy S5.

There's no mention of optical image stabilization in the slide issued by Samsung's Analyst Day 2013, but we're hoping that it it will make an appearance in the next Galaxy S flagship.

And for more news on Samsung's new flagships and much more, STAY TUNED!
