Samsung Electronics announced its newest image sensor. The Isocell JN1 supports 4K video recording at 60 frames per second. This feature arrives in a very small sensor size. The JN1 measures just 1/2.76 inches. It packs 50 million pixels. Each pixel is only 0.64 micrometers. This is among the smallest pixels Samsung makes. The small size helps smartphone makers. They can design thinner phones. They can also fit larger batteries or other parts.

The JN1 uses advanced pixel technology. Samsung calls it Tetrapixel. This technology combines four pixels into one larger pixel. It happens automatically in dim lighting. This merging creates a bigger 1.28-micrometer pixel. Bigger pixels capture more light. More light means brighter photos and videos in the dark. This improves low-light performance significantly. Users get clearer results at night or indoors.

Recording smooth 4K video at 60fps is a key upgrade. Many phone sensors offer 4K. Few manage it smoothly at 60 frames per second at this sensor size. Higher frame rates mean much smoother motion. Fast action looks better. Sports videos appear less blurry. Everyday clips feel more lifelike. This sensor brings flagship-level video to more devices.

Smartphone manufacturers want high-quality cameras. They also need compact components. The Isocell JN1 delivers both. Its tiny footprint saves space. Its capabilities boost camera performance. Expect to see this sensor in many new mid-range and premium smartphones soon. It helps phones take better pictures and shoot smoother videos. This is especially true in challenging light.
