Overview
- Sony’s LYT‑901 is a 1/1.12‑inch, 200MP sensor with 0.7μm pixels using a Quad‑Quad Bayer Coding array with 16‑in‑1 binning, all‑pixel autofocus, 4× in‑sensor zoom, AI‑assisted remosaicing, DCG‑HDR, HF‑HDR, and a Fine 12‑bit ADC.
- The sensor supports up to 8K30 and 4K120 video and claims over 100 dB HDR performance in QQBC mode, with Sony emphasizing improved detail retention across the zoom range.
- Sony confirms mass production and says units are shipping to manufacturers, with reports pointing to early use in devices such as OPPO’s Find X9 Ultra and vivo’s X300 Ultra.
- OmniVision has reportedly readied a rival 200MP OVB0D at 1/1.1‑inch with DCG plus LOFIC Gen 2 HDR processing and a claimed 108 dB dynamic range, positioning it against Sony’s new part.
- Tipster reports suggest Samsung may avoid these larger, costlier 200MP sensors and continue using a smaller 1/1.3‑inch 200MP unit similar to HP2 due to profitability concerns.
