OnePlus has officially announced that its upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 12, will feature a new Sony Lytia dual-layer stacked camera sensor. This new sensor promises to deliver significant improvements in image quality, especially in low-light conditions.
The Lytia sensor uses a stacked CMOS design with two layers of transistors and photodiodes. This allows for physically larger photodiodes, which can capture more light and produce sharper, more detailed images.
OnePlus is the second sub-brand under the BBK Electronics umbrella to benefit from the group’s partnership with Sony’s LYTIA Mobile Image Sensor Brand.
The company previously used a Sony Lytia 808 sensor on the OnePlus Open’s main camera, but it is rumored that the OnePlus 12 will use a different Lytia sensor.
Other BBK Electronics brands, such as Oppo and Vivo, have also announced partnerships with Sony’s Lytia. This means that we can expect to see the same dual-layer stacked sensors used in the main cameras of the upcoming Oppo Find X7 and Vivo X100 smartphones.
In addition to the Lytia sensor, the OnePlus 12 is also rumored to feature a new telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The phone is also expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which will offer improved performance and power efficiency.
The OnePlus 12 is expected to launch in China sometime in December 2023, followed by a global release in early 2024.
