Samsung unveils 14nm FinFET tech for 144MP Image Sensors

Here’s an interesting technology that we might see in the future. Samsung has just unveiled the 144MP image sensor that is based on the 14nm FinFET process. So what does this mean? We just saw the 108MP rear camera of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10, well, we’re gonna see 144MP sensors on smartphones soon.

FinFET process is a process you’ve probably heard when creating smartphone processors but they’re also using it for sensors too and with 14nm FinFET process, the 144MP sensor will be 42% more efficient at 10FPS image capture and 37% on 12MP readout at 30-120fps.

This is a good start for image sensors as we can see a big difference in power consumption.
