Samsung Unveils Dual Camera Platform for OEMs

Samsung introduces a dual camera solution with ISOCELL Dual image sensors and proprietary software for two popular features – refocusing (bokeh) and low-light shooting (LLS). While such dual camera features had generally been exclusive to premium smartphones, Samsung’s ISOCELL Dual sensors and its library of proprietary software algorithms enable these features in lower price mobile devices.

Samsung is coupling its refocusing algorithm with a 13MP and 5MP set of CMOS sensors, and its LLS algorithm with a set of two 8MP sensors, to simplify implementation by OEMs.

“Dual cameras are delivering new and exciting photo-taking experiences on mobile devices,” said Ben K. Hur, VP of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung’s total solution for ISOCELL Dual will make our customers’ product development process easier, allowing them to bring the most optimized dual camera features to a wider range of consumers.”
