According to another rumor, Samsung is about to replace the back side illumination (BSI) with ISOCELL technology. It has also been mentioned that the 16MP ISOCELL sensor will be implemented in the tablets and smartphones that are going to be released during the next year.
This might be true, especially if we take under consideration some of the earliest rumors suggesting that most of Samsung’s devices that are going to be released in 2014 will feature 16MP camera. Samsung held a conference a couple of week ago. During it, nobody mentioned anything about the optical image stabilization technology (OIS). This helped us realize that Samsung Galaxy S5 will most probably not feature this technology, so this rumor might be considered as accurate.
Now let’s say a couple of words about the ISOCELL technology. It was introduced back in September this year and is known as “new advanced pixel technology” which will allow the user to capture pictures with high quality in low-light conditions. There is also an enhanced color reproduction, color richness and sharpness, compared to the Side Illumination technology.
The market trend is smaller phone cameras with higher resolutions and quality of images and thus, there is a really high pressure on smartphone manufacturers to develop such cameras – this is really challenging! So in order to meet the needs of the markets all those manufacturers have to develop such cameras focusing on the tech R&D sensor that enhances the light absorption of each pixel.

The South Korean company has probably found the right answer to all of the above requirements – ISOCELL. The technology makes a barrier between the neighboring pixels by simply isolating the pixel which enables more photons to be collected and absorbed making the quality of the image really high, especially in low-light conditions where most of the problems with mobile cameras come.
Rumors also suggest that in terms of hardware Samsung Galaxy S5 is going to be spectacular because it will feature 64 bit system, next generation Exynos processor, 4GB of RAM, fingerprint sensor and Desing 3.0 phase metallic case, which is one of the things that have been much anticipated since lots of people have been complaining of the low-quality materials used in the creation of its predecessor – Galaxy S4.
However, if the camera is indeed 16MP then many people who enjoy taking photos while on-the-go will probably go for this device because the quality of the image is going to be really amazing. After all, the ISOCELL technology will take the whole picture-taking experience to a whole new level, especially if you like taking pictures in places which are low-lid.
Naturally, the 16MP camera in Galaxy S5 can turn out to be just a rumor, but nobody can say this for sure, at least not until this moment! We will have to wait and see if Samsung is going to hit the right spot once again.
