In terms of multimedia, the new generation ISP integrated into the Exynos 2100 supports cameras with up to 200 million pixels, can connect up to six sensors (lenses), and supports simultaneous operation of four sensors, providing a richer multi-camera experience. Additionally, with the help of multi-camera and frame processors (MCFP), the ISP can combine feeds from multiple cameras to improve zoom performance and enhance image quality for ultra-wide shots. With AI acceleration features, the ISP also offers a content-aware function that can quickly and seamlessly recognize scenes, faces, and objects, optimally adjusting camera settings to capture more comprehensive images.Challenger to Snapdragon 888!
