Samsung unveiled its first smartphone camera sensor with a resolution of 200 megapixels. Although this sensor has yet to be shown on a gadget, it looks that something better has already surpassed it. According to a new report from South Korean-based publication ETNews, an updated version of the 200MP sensor is near completion and will reportedly debut in a future flagship smartphone — like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra — in 2023.

We’re still early in the process, so we don’t know which smartphone the new ISOCELL HP3 will debut on. However, if the release date is any indication, it will most likely be included in the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Keep in mind that anything may happen when it comes to rumours, so this might all change. Hopefully, additional information will become available in the months ahead, giving us a better idea of Samsung’s future ambitions.

In 2020, Samsung debuted its 108MP camera sensor on its Galaxy S20 Ultra. The following year, it would retain the same sensor for its Galaxy S21 Ultra. Samsung then again kept the same 108MP sensor for its Galaxy S22 Ultra. Despite Samsung being a leader in the megapixel race, far beyond most of its competitors, the company could look to up the ante in 2023. If it chooses to update to the rumored 200MP sensor, it could breathe new life into its flagship line’s camera equipment.

Of course, we’re still early in the process, so it is unknown which smartphone the new ISOCELL HP3 will make its debut. But, if the date is any indication, it will most likely make an appearance in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Keep in mind though that when it comes to rumors, anything can happen, and this could all change. Hopefully, there will be more information in the months to come, giving us a better look at Samsung’s plans for the future.
