      This sensor isn't E-Waste. See, small sensor size doesn't translate to poor image quality. With pixel binning, it becomes a 1.22micronpixel sensor, that can be used for an ultra wide, or a selfie cam. It's not bad at all.

        More e-waste...

          Garbage sensor. What's the point in using a 1/2.88"-type sensor outside of the extreme low-end? And yet, with the features it has, it's probably too expensive to be used there.

              can't wait for Vivo to use this for their selfie cam and then get stuck at 1080p 60 fps for video recording.

              Can anyone explain WHY so many Chinese phones have amazing hardware and even video recording capabilities but don't allow it? I saw Vivo's 1080p vids and they're a lot better than some phones' 4k vids. It just boggles my mind honestly.

                Is dual analog gain similar to DGO found in Canon c300III and c70?
