Samsung doesn’t just have smartphones, tablets, and home appliances on its plate. It also manufactures components for various types of devices, including camera sensors for smartphones. All the current camera sensors carry the ISOCELL branding, which many of you might already know. A new development suggests that the tech giant has something else in the planning . Samsung could be working on a totally new image sensor, called DeepPix.
Samsung trademarks the ‘Samsung DeepPix’ image sensor brand
Going into details, Samsung has reportedly applied for trademark protection for the ‘Samsung DeepPix’ brand in Argentina, Europe, and the US. As per the filings, it is a “Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. In simple terms, it is a camera sensor. Unfortunately, there are no details regarding the new DeepPix camera sensor. It’s also not clear which kind of products this camera sensor is meant for.
Though Samsung regularly registers brand names for new products, it’s not that often that these are names of camera sensors. Even when they’re camera sensors, they have almost always been related to the ISOCELL sensor series. This makes this new development exciting.
Is this the major camera upgrade we’re waiting for?
For a long time, Samsung has been criticised for equipping new phones, including flagship models, with the same camera sensor as their predecessors. In fact, a recent leak said that the Galaxy S27 Ultra may reuse the 200MP main camera first seen in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The company may have been doing so because it was working on new things, like DeepPix.
But then it’s too early to say whether DeepPix would address the camera complaints that many have with Samsung phones. But this news certainly made us curious. For what it’s worth, Samsung has quite a few phones in the pipeline. This includes the Galaxy A57, Galaxy S26 series, and even the foldables, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Fold 8.
