The world's first 48-megapixel image sensor for smartphones

Sony's smartphone division continues to show disappointing performance, but the Japanese company remains the market leader in imaging sensors. The latest sensor CMOS from 1965 has a IMX586 A leap in image quality by increasing the resolution to 48 megapixels, or 8000 x 6000 pixels, which, according to Sony, is the largest number of pixels in the industry imaging sensors for smart phones. The sensor also has a pixel size of 0.8 microns. The new impact on the company's smart phones, Sony having a long history in the field But the cameras in their smartphones have not reached the same quality as the competitors in recent years, but it seems to be on the point to change, because the sensor is able to briefly provide a better picture of the smartphone.

Photography in low light conditions is a constant challenge for smart phone cameras due to the small size of the sensor, but the company hopes that the sensor will dramatically improve things in future phones. The signal is added among the four adjacent pixels, increasing the sensitivity to an equivalent level of 1.6 microns (12 megapixels), resulting in bright images with low noise. "

The company further explains:" In addition to these features, and the image sensor signal processing function, enabling real-time output and dynamic range four times greater than traditional units, so that scenes with low and bright areas can be captured with minimal exposure and without loss of detail. 19659006] and Sony currently dominate Li sensor sales for smartphones and cameras DSLR Professional, the last quarter promised to maintain this hegemony by spending up to 9 billion dollars to develop this technology, has contributed to this dominant position The new sensor, guaranteed by the new sensor, is capable of recording videos of 4 K is 4096 x 2160 pixels, at 90 frames per second, with a resolution of 1080 × 1920 pixels at 240 frames per second Second

It should be noted that there is currently no specific delay for the arrival of this sensor. For smartphones, but may appear on his next phone named Sony Xperia XZ3 that may reveal the company during its participation in the exhibition IFA 2018 in Berlin at the end of August, with Sony plans to start charging sensor samples in September.
