Sony released the new LYTIA brand image sensor
Over the past few years, smartphones have made pronounced strides in the realm of photography, largely attributable to Sony’s image sensors. Their colossal one-inch base sensor has emerged as the favoured choice among numerous flagship smartphones. In November of the previous year, Sony introduced a novel brand of intelligent image sensors christened “LYTIA,” which is set to supersede the familiar IMX series.
Recently, Sony announced its plans to dispatch new LYTIA-branded image sensors during the current fiscal year. These are primarily 50MP models, namely the LYT 900, LYT 800, LYT 700, LYT 600, and LYT 500. However, some of these new arrivals may simply be rebranded versions of previous products, for instance, the LYT 900, LYT 800, and LYT 700 correspond to the IMX989, IMX888, and IMX890 respectively. On the other hand, sensors like the LYT 600 represent an entirely new product, sporting a CMOS size of 1/1.95 inches, and could very likely serve as a telephoto or periscopic telephoto uses in the future.
Sony is capitalising on its imaging and sensing technology to generate value for the market in myriad ways, providing users with a more enriched imaging experience. It intends to broaden the LYTIA brand’s product line, enabling an increasing number of users to relish the enhancements in imaging effects when capturing images with their smartphones. With the rise in smartphone photography and the diversification of its usage, smartphones might come equipped with multiple image sensors. Sony aspires to cater to this diverse range of shooting scenarios and objectives by enriching the LYTIA product line.
Sony has affirmed its commitment to persistently develop and supply cutting-edge LYTIA products, with the aim of making its image sensors the premier choice for global smartphone users. By striving to amalgamate imaging technology with smartphones, Sony envisions a future where any user can revel in capturing high-quality photos and videos and partake in transformative imaging performance.
