Yesterday, a reliable tipster from China revealed that Sony will be launching Sony IMX689 and IMX708 sensor will be made official globally in the coming days. He shared some details of on the specs of the IMX708 and said it is a customized sensor. Companies like Huawei, OPPO and OnePlus are also expected to use the sensor on forthcoming phones.  It is speculated that the OPPO Find X2 that is expected to debut in Q1 this year with the latest Sony sensor could be one of the first devices to feature the Sony IMX708 lens.

According to the leakster, the sensor size of the Sony IMX708 could be around 1/1.3-inch. It could be able to capture images of up to 48-megapixel like the Sony IMX586 lens. He added that he came across a device that has a Sony IMX708 lens on the back and a front-facing camera of Sony IMX616 lens. The latter is said to be a 32-megapixel lens.

The Huawei P40 series are expected to go official in March and rumors surrounding it have claimed that it could be coming with a 52-megapixel lens. OnePlus will be launching the OnePlus 8 series in Q2. Hence, it appears that the OPPO Find X2 could be the best candidate to feature the Sony IMX708 48-megapixel lens on the rear and a Sony IMX616 32-megapixel selfie snapper. Recently, OPPO VP Brian Shen had hinted that the Find X2 has an exclusive custom sensor.

Moreover, in December, it was officially revealed that the Find X2 will be arriving with Sony’ latest image sensor that is called All Pixel Omnidirectional PDAF that will be accompanied with the new 2×2 On-Chip Lens (OCL) solution. The new Sony sensor has on-ship lens for two pixels instead of one lens on each pixel. The new lens will allow the phone to capture photos with faster and accurate autofocus and it will be also well able to focus efficiently in low-light conditions.

There is no concrete evidence yet that the OPPO Find X2 will be equipped with Sony IMX708. Hence, it is advisable to take this report with a grain of salt.
