    8s gen 3 is a very weird choice, but it's still an incredible phone with an insane camera system and great display. May have to look into importing this

                          X100 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Oppo Find X7 Ultra use this. I know what I'm talking about. Do you know what YOU are talking about?

All those 1" flagships use this same exact sensor with a 1/0.98" size. They are all this same exact size, which is ever so slightly larger than 1 inch despite being called a 1 inch sensor.

                                  Yes, it is slightly larger than 1 inch. 1/0.98 = 1.02”.

                                    Also, AQUOS junk has a very large number of defective displays compared to other manufacturers.

                                      Go see how weaker vivo x200 pro 1/1.28" is compared to x100 ultra.

                                        No it's not larger than the 1-inch type sensor. It's exactly the same as the rest of them. Like xiaomi 14 ultra as a In the LYTIA’s “double-layer transistor pixel technology,” the first layer is a photodiode while the second is the transistor. The first layer helps detect light, and the second helps store and process light information. LYT900 1/0.98-type (16.384 mm diagonal) approx. 50-effective-megapixel
