Samsung said that,  the 50MP ISOCELL GNK sensor with improved dynamic range

  Samsung announced its new 50MP ISOCELL GNK sensor boasting improved video recording capabilities and wider dynamic range for stills. The sensor is a direct successor to the 50MP ISOCELL GN1 that other OEMs and Samsung itself extensively use. Spec-wise, the GNK is identical to the GN1. The 50MP imager is1/1.3" in size and offers1.2 µm pixels. But to improve the sensor's performance, the company used other smarts. For instance, the Binary Pixel Pro autofocus ensures sharp photos of moving objects as the focus time is greatly  bettered.   Samsung announces the 50MP ISOCELL GNK sensor with  bettered dynamic range and video capabilities  also, the sensor can capture images with a dynamic range of over to 120 dB and in Pro mode, the GNK can capture 14- bit RAW images. 

  To achieve  similar wide dynamic range, the GNK works in three different ISO modes that also help reduce motion artifacts.   As far as video recording is concerned, the sensor can handle 8K 30 fps  vids without losing too  important field of view. HDR  vids and FHD footage at 240 fps are also supported.   Samsung hasn't disclosed which phones will get the new sensor first, but we will  probably see the first phones employing the ISOCELL GNK coming year.
