Oppo and Sony’s Lytia imaging sensor brand have announced a new strategic partnership that will bring dual-layer stacked Sony sensors to future Oppo flagships. Oppo promises that the new sensors will “unlock the next era of computational photography” but hasn’t revealed when we’ll see the first device with these new sensors.
Sony’s ExmorT IMX 888 stacked CMOS sensor with 2-layer transistor pixel technology premiered on the Xperia 1 V earlier this year, and Sony is bringing two more sensors to the stacked CMOS sensor design – the IMX903 and IMX907. Here we have a more detailed explanation of the new dual-layer stacked sensor design and its benefits.
The key is that the transistor and photodiode layers are separated, which allows for physically larger diodes, more light capture, and better low-light performance. Fellow BBK-brand Vivo also announced a partnership with Sony’s Lytia division earlier this summer for the upcoming vivo X100 flagship series that will feature custom Sony stacked CMOS sensors.
