According to the press release, the HP2 will feature 200 million pixels the same size as the ones found in the 108MP sensor from the S22 Ultra. According to respected Samsung insider,Ice Universe, the new sensor has improved performance in brightly-lit conditions, reducing overexposure.

On top of that, Icenotesthat the sensor can record 200MP footage at 15 frames per second. That goes above and beyond any other sensor in the range. The tweet says, “HP1 and HP3 [offer] 200MP@7.5fps, HM3 [offers] 100MP@10fps. HP2 is Samsung’s most powerful sensor.”

It’s a massive victory for the S23 Ultra. Coming into one of the most competitive marketplaces in history, Samsung needed to pack their flagship with a true standout feature. This could well be that feature.
