OmniVision has introduced its new high-end 200MP camera sensor, the OVB0D, designed for upcoming flagship smartphones to compete with Sony’s recently announced LYTIA 901 sensor.
According to a Korean media report, the OmniVision OVB0D features a 1/1.1-inch sensor size, slightly larger than Sony’s 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901. This sensor employs a Bayer filter with a dual on-chip re-mosaic structure, distinguishing it from Sony’s more complex Quad-Quad Bayer Coding (QQBC) technology.
While detailed specifications remain scarce, it is speculated that Sony’s sensor might offer a marginal advantage in detail due to its advanced QQBC structure.
The OVB0D boasts an impressive full-well capacity of 400k and a wide dynamic range, thanks to its integration of DCG and second-generation LOFIC technology for multi-frame HDR processing. This combination enhances performance in extreme HDR scenarios and supports up to 108dB of dynamic range, promising superior handling of mixed lighting conditions within a single scene.
Renowned tipster Iceuniverse reports that the OVB0D sensor will be featured in flagship devices from vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Honor in 2026.
Meanwhile, Samsung is reportedly unlikely to adopt either Sony’s or OmniVision’s new 200MP sensors, citing rising costs and reduced profitability. Instead, Samsung may continue using a smaller 1/1.3-inch 200MP sensor, similar to its existing HP2 model.
