Sony has just made its new sensor official, the Sony LYT-901, which is expected to be equipped with various new smartphone devices on the market.
The new sensor Sony LYT-901 expected to compete with its sensors Samsung at 200MP with which multiple flagships on the market come equipped.
The sensor size is in 1 / 1.12 inches with diagonal dimensions in 14.287 mmIt is intended to offer the high quality image capture combined with 4x in-sensor zoomIt is also mentioned that the pixel size is 0.7μm.
In addition to the above, the Sony LYT-901 uses one a scheme called Quad-Quad Bayer Coding (QQBC), which groups the 4×4 neighboring pixels, with filters of the same color. Then, the signals of these 16 pixels, processed as a single unit resulting in the recording in 12.5 SM.
Later, with the in-sensor zoom and through the process remosaic the above grouped pixels are restored to their normal arrangementThis process is further enhanced with the use of AI, due to a special processing unit located within the sensor.
The combination of all the above processes and technologies aims at improved reproduction of various details, such as intricate patterns and letters. In addition, video recording is enhanced to 4K@30FPS with 4x zoom As well as processing speed.
Also noteworthy are the following two technologies in Sony LYT-901: DCG-HDR and Fine12bit ADC where the first technology offers high dynamic range (HDR) and richer tonal shades to all the 4x zoom range, while the second technology increases the depth of quantification from the 10 to 12 bits.
Furthermore, with the use of Hybrid Frame HDR (HF-HDR), provided greater high dynamic range performance over 100dB, combined with the use of the QQBC layout. This results in the representation of images that come closer to what the human eye actually sees.
Closing with the technical specifications, the sensor Sony LYT-901 supports video recording in 8K @ 30FPS, 4K @ 120FPS as well as the continuous photo shooting at 60FPS with 12.5MP resolution, at 30FPS with 50MP resolution and at 10FPS with 200MP resolution.
As for which devices will be the first to use this sensor, there have been a few rumors recently that reveal which ones are expected to be available. One of them is the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and the other is the X300 Ultra vivo.
