Samsung is developing the first ISOCELL camera with an RGBW color filter pattern. In a webinar held by TECNO Mobile today, Samsung executives confirmed this. This ambitious camera sensor is called ISOCELL GWB. Unlike previous rumors, it has a resolution of 64 million pixels instead of 50MP.
The vice president and head of research and development of Samsung Electronics of China introduced ISOCELL GWB and called it the image sensor closest to the human eye. A white pixel is added to the RGB color filter pattern to improve the light sensitivity of the sensor. This clever sub-pixel arrangement can obtain brighter images and better color accuracy when taking photos, even in low light conditions.
Samsung has Chinese and smartphones cooperation manufacturers developed a mobile acoustic sensor ISOCELL GWB. This partnership shows that ISOCELL GWB will make its debut on next year’s TECNO smartphone. However, it may not only belong to the aforementioned Chinese brands, and other Samsung customers may soon benefit from this technological leap.

In any case, ISOCELL GWB does not meet the initial description of the Galaxy S22 series camera settings, so it will not make its debut on the Galaxy Unpacked in February. The standard version and S22 Plus models should have a 50-megapixel main sensor, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra is rumored to use a 108-megapixel main camera.
There is a possibility that ISOCELL GWB is not the only RGBW sensor that Samsung has been studying. If the early rumors are correct, maybe there will be a 50-megapixel RGBW solution next year. In any case, we are almost certain that the 64-megapixel ISOCELL GWB will not be the last RGBW sensor from Samsung’s R&D laboratory, although it seems that it will be the first sensor to enter the market next year.
