#200MP sensor

Sony Semiconductor has officially announced the LYTIA-901, its first 200MP smartphone camera sensor, signaling a direct challenge to Samsung’s dominance in ultra-high-resolution mobile cameras. The Sony LYT-901 features a 1/1.12-inch sensor size with 0.7µm pixels, making it larger and with bigger pixels than Samsung’s 200MP Isocell HP2 sensor found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which uses a smaller 1/1.3-inch sensor and 0.6µm pixels. On paper, the difference may look minor, but with already tiny pixels at 200MP, any bump in pixel size can meaningfully improve light intake and overall image quality, especially in mixed or low-light scenes and when shooting at full 200MP resolution. Sony says the LYT-901 is already shipping to customers, with OPPO and vivo reportedly planning to use the new sensor in their upcoming Ultra-class flagship phones. If implemented well, the LYTIA-901 could bring brighter, cleaner images and better dynamic range, potentially raising the bar for 200MP camera performance in next-gen Android flagships. The camera system includes a 200MP main sensor with a 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP telephoto lens together with front-facing cameras that operate on both displays for taking selfies and making video calls. Samsung has announced the ISOCELL HP5, a new 200MP camera sensor and the first in the world to feature ultra-small 0.5µm pixels.
