Samsung recently unveiled new HD-capable CMOS sensors aimed at manufacters of high-end smartphones and slim cellphones. These new sensors are small enough to allow small and thin form factors, while at the same time powerful enough to even allow 720p HD video recording. The sensors are the S5K4E2 and the S5K5CA CMOS sensors.
The S5K4E2 CMOS sensor is a 5 Megapixels sensor that can record “full resolution” videos at 15 FPS. It is unclear what is meant by “full resolution” though. If they meant recording 2560 x 1920 pixels (which sums up to 5 Megapixels) videos at 15 FPS, Samsung really did pack some real punch into this CMOS sensor.
Samsung’s new S5K5CA on the other hand, is a smaller 3 Megapixels sensor, but it’s still capable of 720p video recording! As this sensor is smaller in size than the S5K4E2, it’s a good choice for manufacturers to use in slim mobile phones, while being able to provide high performance photography.
Kat Hannaford over at Gizmodo has pointed out that Samsung may have used the S5K4E2 5 Megapixels CMOS sensor in the Wave. These high performance sensors will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2010. Expect to see them in phones later this year.
