#sony IMX318 sensor

Sony is stepping up their game when it comes to smartphone imaging with the announcement of the new type 1/2.6" stacked CMOS 22.5 megapixel IMX318 Exmor RS image sensor with hybrid auto-focus and 3-axis image stabilization. The Sony IMX318 image sensor boasts the industry's smallest unit pixel size at 1.0?m and a built-in hybrid AF (phase + contrast detection) with a claimed AF speed of 0.03 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx8dxw0RQcs Sony aims to ship the new CMOS image sensor in May 2016. Sony has announced the Lytia 910, its first image sensor to use LOFIC technology, offering up to 100dB of dynamic range from a single exposure. Other features include support for 4K HDR video at 60fps and new Ultra High Conversion Gain circuits that reportedly reduce image noise by around 30% compared to previous Sony sensors in low-light situations. Sony plans to begin mass production this summer, with smartphones using the sensor expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2026. 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.
