Samsung’s Galaxy S11 was earlier rumored to sport the company’s own 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX image sensor that was first seen in Xiaomi’s newly-launched Mi Note 10, but latest reports now suggest that the South Korean company is working on a ‘custom’ 108MP sensor that will be exclusive to its upcoming lineup.
The Galaxy S11+ uses a 1 / 1.3-inch 108MP Samsung exclusive custom sensor, which is superior in quality to ISOCELL Bright HMX and has a high cost.
It is possible that Samsung is, indeed, reworking its existing 108MP Bright HMX sensor for even better results than the already impressive imaging chops of the Mi Note 10, but we’ll have to wait awhile longer to be able to say that with any degree of certainly. The sensor was originally announced back in August as part of a collaboration between Samsung and Xiaomi, but is yet to find its way to any Samsung phone until now.
