OmniVision has a new 13MP PureCel Plus-S sensor

26 February, 2016
The sensor features fairly large 1.25-micron pixels.

Sort by:

The only problem with small sensor is small optics. The smaller the hole, the less light goes through. So no matter how much you improve the sensor, you won't get more light reaching it. At some point they'll have to enlarge the sensor itself.

          Well.. still not interest with small sensor, i prefer real camera like Sony A7R2 or Sony A6000/A6300

            Finally seeing some higher frame rates for slower slow motion. Haven't seen an increase in slow motion in a long time.

              so this sensor can shoot up to 240 fps 1080p, and some Mediatek chipset can do 460 fps, but we're still dealing with 720p @ 120fps on all the available android devices, except Np6.

                      I guess it will be used in the OnePlus 3. The OnePlus 2 has OmniVision 13860.
