Speaking of Sony’s latest flagship, Xperia 1 V.
Although the main sensor itself has been redesigned and the size has increased from the previous model, it was not equipped with the rumored 1-inch sensor.
Meanwhile, there is a possibility that the next-generation Xperia after this 1 V will be equipped with a camera sensor that is much larger than 1 inch.
According to a leaker on Weibo,1.8-inch 40MP quad-bayer CMOS sensor in developmentThat’s what it is.
This is, of course, the largest ever for a smartphone camera sensor.
The post doesn’t specify that this sensor is “made by Sony”, but the description of “Quad Bayer” and the names of other IMX sensors are pointing to the sensor made by Sony. There is no doubt that there are.
As you know, the maximum size of the camera sensor installed in a smartphone so far is 1 inch.
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost doubled in size at once, but this contributor has a reputation for reliability when it comes to information related to camera sensors.
On the other hand, if this sensor is installed in the next-generation Xperia, it is highly likely that the model will be the new Xperia Pro, but it will not necessarily be the first to be used in Xperia.
However, if a 1.8-inch sensor is installed in a smartphone, the camera part of the terminal should be quite thick, depending on the focal length.
No matter what model it is installed in, I am very curious about what kind of design it will be.
