Samsung announced the ISOCELL GN5 sensor in September. It's the company's latest 50MP shooter with a slim profile for phones that try to achieve a slicker look. As for iQOO, if this is the first time you hear about the brand, it's because it's relatively new. It was founded in China in 2019 as a Vivo subsidiary.
Back to Samsung's camera, the 50MP unit supports 2×2 pixel binning to deliver 12.5MP photos in poorly-lit environments, and it takes advantage of all-directional Dual Pixel Pro autofocus technology. The sensor measures 1./1.57 inches and has 1μm-sized pixels. It supports 8K 30fps and 4K 120fps video recording.
ISOCELL GN5 and a premium Samsung OLED display make a good pair
The 50MP sensor isn't the only component from Samsung to be used by the upcoming Series 9 from iQOO. Reports indicate that the phone will use an E5 OLED display made by Samsung Display. The panel has a 6.78-inch diagonal on the Series 9 Pro model.
A similar display technology was used by the iQOO Series 8, and it proved to be very successful. DisplayMate gave it a rating of A+ and awarded it the Best Smartphone Display Award.
