    So basically, a Magic6 Pro with an OmniVision 1" sensor.

      this is interesting, I hope this will not make the camera performance messed up, with overexposed images / videos, or dull images / flat image output because of them trying to get out the MOST of this sensor, trying to get details where it is not needed, pushing the "HDR" way too far and making the overall scene just unrealistic, lacking contrast and idk what else...

      anyway, this is most likely not gonna come out in european countries anyway, what a shame...

        Grab my money i am willing to buy this but cant.
        I already have a good enough phone and only downgrade i see is a 80W charging speeds compared to 125W i have now.
        Not interested in phone which take half hour to charge battery from 15 minutes my Motorola edge 40 pro does now.

Just because Sony makes good phone sensors doesn't mean they make good phones or good phone cameras, the markets may be similar but they're not the same.
          Some of their TVs use LG OLED? Well they started using them NOW, and all that's just to dupe buyers into thinking they're getting QD-OLED but in actuality they're getting WOLED, and also because Samsung Display doesn't make 42/48 inch OLED panels. Like bro, just keep smoking whatever you're smoking.

            Anonymous, 12 Mar 2024Mi 14 would do better with imx803 used by iphone 15 pro. ... moreNo, you've not seen the RAW files and how Xiaomi messes stuff up with their processing. You've clearly deluded yourself into j*cking Sony's sensors off as if they're magic. You do you man. Seriously though you might have less brain cells than people who say "no headphone jack no buy", at least they're ignorant and dumb, you act like you know a lot but you just provide random info outta nowhere and justify it by saying "Sony gud everyone else bad."
            Like seriously??? 7a is better than the 8 Pro?? Even Jesus would have a hard time believing in your stoopid ahh

Like bruh it's a bloody half inch sensor. Colors are wack because of Vivo's tuning, not the sensor. Like what are you high on?

                    Vivo actually got nice colours on wide camera(which is sony), tele is worse.
                    My point is, all phones phones with omni/isocell give bad images, with one exception, google pixel, which are almost good.

                      PatDat, 12 Mar 2024"Omnivision is NOT far behind Sony, and I provided an ... moreThere's a difference between a sensor's capabilities and the output of the phone. The phone does hundreds of different stuff and even a lot of AI trickery to make stuff up. Also, ISOCELL is Samsung. They're bad-mediocre in sensor making. But I was talking about OV, they're great now. Take a look at the 4.3x of the Vivo X100 Pro or the RAW photos of the Xiaomi 14 , NOT THE PROCESSED ONES, Xiaomi's processing is so mid that they made this great sensor look bad.

                      To add to my point, Google actually uses Samsung's sensor for their main cam lmao. What's your point man? Google's processing makes Samsung's sensor look good but if they used a Sony sensor instead of cheaping out they'd have gotten far better results. OV is good NOW but 2 years ago they were still only "ok".

                        jiyen235, 12 Mar 2024Okay so by your logic, Samsung hasn't made OLED for TV... more"Omnivision is NOT far behind Sony, and I provided an example, Xiaomi 14 with the OV sensor. "

                        If not far behind then why all phones with omnivision/isocell are far worse in color reproduction, probably only one is pixel that can do somehow fair colours, rest are total grabage in terms of colours.

                          Anonymous, 12 Mar 2024Sony, Samsung and Omnivision all have 50MP 1/1.56". ... moreOkay so by your logic, Samsung hasn't made OLED for TVs but LG has for a decade or so, then they suddenly made QD-OLED, how is that? Is Samsung decades behind LG? No, in fact they're on par. What I'm saying is, you're just spouting absolute nonsense. Omnivision is NOT far behind Sony, and I provided an example, Xiaomi 14 with the OV sensor. I know some brands process dng such as Vivo but Xiaomi, Oppo, Samsung, Sony, they mostly/actually don't touch the RAW files.

                          Apple didn't use OV because of a few reasons and you're forgetting the most important one. The processing pipeline. They're not going to get something from a different company because that'd mess up their already well established processing pipelines, for video especially. Also, the number of units produced at the same quality needs to be kept in mind as well. No matter how good OV is, they can't produce the same amount as Sony right now in the same quality. That's because OV isn't as big and efficient as Sony. Apple is taking the safe route so their supply chain isn't bottlenecked.

                          Again, with the comparison between the OP and the Samsung you're missing my point. The sensor power doesn't matter because it is too small and the size of the sensor would at the end of the day trump any voodoo magic that Sony tries to do with processing. I've seen comparisons of Sony's 1 V with some other phones with bigger sensors and yeah, Sony's Exmor T is just marketing gimmicks. Great job falling for the big corporations yet again homie.

                                All phone makers would only use sony if the three suppliers asked same price.

                                Samsung and Canon make sensors since early days of digital photography. Both are years behind Sony Semicon. Let alone Omnivision, Sk Hynix and other.
                                Some here have this illusion because they think omnivision is chinese, it is company created in California by chinese.

                                When you use jpeg, you will not see difference because too much crap (enhancements) are baked into jpegs. Some brands even add processing to dng.
                                This way brands take advantage of the situation to use whatever is cheaper.

                                Do you think apple, ultra greedy company, would spend tons of money on exmor if they could for maybe half or 1/3 of the price squeeze same out of omnivision cmos?

                                Open uses 1/1.43" f1.7, samsung has 1/1.3" f1.7.
                                Obviously DOF would be different.
                                DOP has zero to do with sensor, it is optical thing.

Exactly what this OV50k ... moreexactly what I mean, OmniVision is providing competition at most likely a lower price, if not then why would Honor go with them? Better quality perhaps? If that's the case then yeah OV is better, I think that even though they use the same tech, OV was able to refine it to the point of being able to use it at f/1.4 on the first gen, Sony couldn't do that even on their second gen. Also, Exmor T or not idk the Oneplus Open and Oneplus 12 are both mid to me in terms of sensor output. Less DoF than 1/1.3" sensors in even Samsung, aperture doesn't go down to f/1.4 like Huawei so yeah, nothing crazy. RAW potential of the new one inch sensors is insane just like some other OV sensors, take a look at JuanBagnell's Xiaomi 14 review/his camera review and the RAW samples. Those show the sensor's capabilities and clearly, Xiaomi sucks in processing because that is a masterpiece of a sensor. OV is as good as Sony now if not better.

                                      Nothing new here.

                                      Lyt500 is 50MP 1/1.3" to replace those 13MP 1/3".
                                      Lyt600 is 50MP 1/2" to replace those 48MP 1/2".
                                      Lyt700 replaces imx766/890.
                                      Lyt800 is imx888
                                      Lyt808 replaces imx789.
                                      LytT808 is variant of Lyt800.

                                      It is unknown the name of exmor T used by iphone 15/15+.

                                      Sony is too busy working on Exmor T. There is nothing more advanced right now.
                                      In case you do not believe, just look at how better oneplus open does compared to oneplus 12, despite having older ISP from 8g2 against newer from 8g3.
                                      And samples of iphone 15 better than 15 pro.

                                      Since samsung loves so much giant resolution, there is imx902.
                                      Exmor T 108MP 1/1.28" "nonacell".
                                      Should have used this instead of hp2.

                                        Aierlan, 12 Mar 2024On paper it's the best camera sensor for dynamic range... moreHonor often does same digital cut to 27 from 23 like huawei.
                                        Another suspicious thing (I still doubt they are apart).

                                        Anyway. Sounds like same trick of Pro-i.
                                        Physical crop to avoid giant bump. Bump is clear nowhere as thick as vivo/oppo/xiaomi.
                                        The pixels that remain outside image circle can be used by EIS. Also, it keeps same FOV when switch between photo and video modes.
