The sensor features 205 phase-detection AF points, with 153 cross-type sensors, and in combination with contrast detection focus, the AF points cover 94-98% of the sensor (horizontally and vertically respectively).

Samsung say that the sensor has increased resolution, without adding additional noise compared to a 20 megapixel sensor, such as that found in previous Samsung cameras. The NX1 features an all new Samsung developed 28.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor with backside illumination (BSI), for improved low-light performance, as well as no anti-aliasing filter for the sharpest results possible, and is the World's first BSI APS-C CMOS sensor. Designed to offer high image quality, high build quality, as well as other premium features, such as high speed shooting, the cameras often feature weather sealing, and have become even more tempting as a more compact option instead of a traditional Digital SLR. The Samsung NX1 is released into the growing market segment of premium mirrorless cameras, such as the Panasonic Lumix GH4, Olympus OM-D E-M1, Fujifilm X-T1, and Sony Alpha A7 series. The Samsung NX1 has an RRP of £1299, and sits above the NX30.

The Samsung NX1 is also weather-sealed and is introduced with a new weather-sealed 50-150mm f/2.8 telephoto zoom lens. Samsung's new top of the range Samsung NX1, features a 28 megapixel APS-C BSI (Backside Illuminated) CMOS sensor, 15fps continuous shooting, phase-detection focus, 4K video recording, as well as a high resolution electronic viewfinder, and a tilting 3inch AMOLED touch-screen.
