Samsung is taking a step forward in mobile photography and videography with the launch of the Samsung 50MP ISOCELL GNK sensor, the promising successor to the popular 50MP ISOCELL GN1. This updated sensor greatly improves the picture.

Although the GNK sensor has similar dimensions and pixel measurements as the GN1, it stands out due to the integration of smart technologies. In particular, the sensor has a Dual Pixel Pro autofocus feature that provides fast focusing and clear images even when shooting moving objects.

One of the highlights of the Samsung 50MP ISOCELL GNK sensor is its extended dynamic range, which can reach up to 120dB. This function allows you to capture a wide range of details under different lighting conditions. Additionally, in pro mode the GNK sensor can shoot 14-bit RAW images, giving photographers greater creative control and precision.

For video enthusiasts, the GNK sensor supports 8K video recording at 30 frames per second without sacrificing field of view. It also meets a variety of video recording needs by offering HDR video capabilities and the flexibility to shoot FHD at 240 fps.
