OnePlus 12 will be the world’s premiere of Sony-OnePlus jointly developed LYTIA sensor

OnePlus is gearing up for the release of its next flagship, the OnePlus 12, and that might just make Samsung and Google a little nervous. The recently revealed OnePlus Open showed the brand’s commitment to the current camera competition between smartphone giants, paving the way for the OnePlus 12 to potentially secure a top spot. In a remarkable collaboration, OnePlus and Sony have spilled the beans on Weibo (via Android Authority) that the OnePlus 12 will proudly debut as the world’s first phone with Sony’s latest LYTIA mobile image sensor. Building on OPPO’s partnership with Sony, OnePlus, as OPPO’s second sub-brand after Vivo, is expected to benefit from the cutting-edge technology of Sony’s LYTIA mobile image sensor brand. Early information hints at the OnePlus 12 featuring a 1/1.4-inch sensor, likely a new generation stacked image sensor, likely the LYT808. This sensor should conform to the Sony IMX966, initially planned to be part of the OnePlus 12.

LYT808, a high-end 1/1.4-inch model, stands out from the high-quality 1-inch type sensor. Sporting a 2-layer transistor pixel structure, it promises exceptional saturation signal levels. Thanks to the stacked technique, the OnePlus 12 was able to capture more light, resulting in improved low-light performance for nighttime snapshots.

With its new LYTIA camera sensors, Sony promises to deliver creative imaging experiences »beyond imagination.” OPPO’s September announcement of its strategic partnership with Sony promised dual-layer stacked Sony LYTIA sensors in future flagships. Vivo has already confirmed that its upcoming Vivo X100 series will feature a custom LYT800 sensor.

And speaking of Vivo, the design of the Vivo while Vivo collaborates with ZEISS.
