It has been mentioned for a while that Sony is preparing a new flagship-level sensor. Although there was a great expectation in the Huawei P50 series, it was understood that the sensor was OmniVision due to the embargo with the introduction. So IMX 800 has not appeared yet.
What will the Sony IMX 800 have to offer?
Sony Xperia PRO-I flagship featured a 1-inch sensor derived from professional cameras but Sony did not supply it to any of its customers and remained model specific. Instead, it will offer the slightly smaller IMX 800 sensor.
Sony has 45% of the smartphone image sensor market
According to the information leaked to date, the IMX 800 sensor will have 1/1.1 dimensions. It is stated that the resolution will not enter the number race and will prefer the 50MP level. With different software algorithms, IMX800 will find its place in many flagship smartphones. Vivo and Oppo are presumed to be the first customers.
Samsung is also trying to increase its share in the competition with ISOCELL camera sensors up to 108MP resolution, but Sony is still the largest supplier and its sensors are more preferred.
