Everything points to the future Galaxy S11 will include a rather impressive camera led by a sensor of 108 megapixels, however, it seems that it will not be the only camera to attract attention in the market, since Sony It has just announced its new sensor with which to try to dominate the pocket photographic market.
Sony's new sensor is fast at everything
This captor will seek to attract attention with other qualities beyond the number of megapixels. At the moment we do not know the versions in which it will be available, since the manufacturer has preferred to focus attention on the new optics technology 2 × 2 On-Chip Lens, which will allow you to enjoy an omnidirectional phase detection focusing technology.
This, which sounds quite complex and strange, will result in an extremely fast focus that will allow us to focus and refocus as fast as we have ever seen before, even in scenarios where the light is quite low. Thus, the focus detection surface will occupy the entire surface of the sensor instead of points, and thanks to the filter distribution Quad Bayer, the brightness and color of every four pixels will be matched so that they work as one.
This pixel blending technique is quite effective, however, until now it caused some differences in terms of light sensitivity, so Sony has created a new lens layout that will cover groups of four pixels instead of single pixels. . Thus, a better focus is achieved, better HDR performance and even less noise in certain scenes, so the resulting images will have more information in the dynamic range.
A custom-made sensor for Oppo
Yes, Oppo It will be the first company to release this sensor, since it has reached an agreement with Sony to mount it in its next flagship with Snapdragon 865. Taking into account that the sensor will go on sale in the second quarter of 2020, the most normal It is that we will see it by then in more high-end phones from other manufacturers, so we will have to be attentive to the implementation of each one, since you already know that each manufacturer later interprets the image and takes advantage of the sensor in its own way.
