Galaxy S5 Rumors: Device to Include Samsung's ISOCELL Image Sensor
The Samsung Galaxy S5 specs will now include an ISOCELL image sensor.
This component will introduce new sophisticated pixel technology related to CMOS image devices to the flagship handset of the company. It basically increases light sensitivity and regulates the absorption of electrons, which leads to higher color fidelity in poor lighting conditions. It improves the image quality and enhances the user experience of premium smartphones and tablets.
"Through advances within pixel and procedure technology, smart phone and pill cameras have made it easier than ever for customers to capture and share beautiful, clear pictures with the world," said Samsung in a recent statement. "ISOCELL technology is another innovation which significantly raises the bar in picture quality, and shows Samsung's technology leadership in image sensors with regard to mobile devices."

Previous Galaxy S5 rumors point to the company using a metal chassis to create the device's exterior.
The next-gen smartphone will enter into production this year and will come with a redesigned look that is more on par with the HTC One and iPhone 5, according to a new report from ETNews. The site also stated that a sample of the chassis has been created in Europe and sent to Vietnam where this component is scheduled to be mass-produced.
ET News highlights that Samsung is "approaching the project with caution" and that the company plans to do a lot of pre-production testing to avoid any issues faced by devices using fully metal bodies, such as radio interference.
The Galaxy S4 was also rumored to feature a metal body before its official release, however; it ended up launching with a plastic casing similar to what was found on the Galaxy S3.
Fans of Samsung have complained over the lack innovation when it comes to the exterior design and materials used for its flagship devices. Companies such as Apple and HTC have eclipsed Samsung in that department by providing customers with smartphones made from metal and glass.
