It is the successor to the previous Flare S and is equipped with the same camera sensor as the Google Nexus 5. Its 8-megapixel camera with Sony IMX 179 image sensor is something to be proud of. It doesn’t have the nicest physique with its cheap-looking back cover, but inside you have a respectable processing performance, a better-than-its-predecessor battery, and a camera sensor that takes good photos. 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. 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. SmartSens has introduced a new flagship-grade smartphone camera sensor, aiming to push mobile photography and videography further with improved dynamic range, low-light performance, and high-frame-rate video.
