Samsung Announces ISOCELL GN5 with Full-Pixel Dual-Core Focus for Faster Auto-Focus in Mobile Cameras. Seoul, South Korea – Samsung Electronics today introduced the ISOCELL GN5, a new image sensor featuring Full-Pixel Dual-Core Focus technology. The sensor aims to improve auto-focus speed and accuracy in smartphone cameras. The GN5 combines 50 million 1.0μm-sized pixels with dual-core integration in every pixel. This design allows each pixel to perform phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) independently.

The Full-Pixel Dual-Core Focus technology doubles the number of focusing elements compared to earlier solutions. It enables faster subject tracking and better performance in low-light conditions. The sensor uses Samsung’s upgraded pixel structure to minimize noise and light loss. This results in clearer images even in challenging lighting environments.
The ISOCELL GN5 supports advanced features like Smart-ISO Pro and HDR. Smart-ISO Pro merges outputs from dual conversion gain circuits. It helps capture scenes with high contrast more accurately. The sensor also supports 4K video recording at 120 frames per second. Users can shoot slow-motion videos with improved clarity.
Samsung highlighted the sensor’s compact size as a key advantage. The GN5 fits into slim smartphone designs without sacrificing performance. Manufacturers can integrate the sensor into devices more easily. The company expects the GN5 to be used in flagship and mid-range phones globally.
“The ISOCELL GN5 sets a new standard for mobile photography,” said a Samsung spokesperson. “It delivers professional-level focus speed and image quality. Consumers will notice the difference in everyday shots.”
Samsung’s ISOCELL GN5 is now in mass production. The company is providing samples to smartphone makers. Technical specifications and partnership details are available on Samsung’s official website.
