Sony Introduces 50MP LYTIA 720 Smartphone Image Sensor with Improved Low-Light Performance and 4K HDR Video
The new 1/1.56-type sensor reduces image noise by approximately 50%, delivers a 100 dB dynamic range and supports 4K 60 fps HDR video recording with all-pixel autofocus, targeting improved smartphone photography in challenging lighting conditions.
Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (Sony) announced the upcoming release of the LYTIA 720, an approximately 50-effective megapixel*1 image sensor for mobile applications that delivers industry-leading*2 low-light performance and supports 4K 60 fps HDR video recording.
Designed for use on the main camera of mobile devices, the new sensor inherits technologies developed for Sony's LYTIA high-end series. Sony's proprietary low-noise circuit technology reduces random noise in dark environments by approximately 50% compared to a conventional product*3 while achieving a dynamic range of 100 dB through HDR compositing technology. This contributes to high-quality still images and videos in dark environments, high-contrast scenes, and a wide range of other shooting conditions. By optimizing AD conversion circuits, the new sensor supports 4K 60 fps video recording with all-pixel autofocus while HDR is enabled.
The new sensor offers high imaging performance in a 1/1.56-type size, which is being widely adopted in the smartphone market. Sony aims to deliver high-quality imaging experiences to more users.
