OmniVision has introduced a high-end 200MP camera sensor, the OVB0D, designed for upcoming flagship smartphones and positioned to rival Sony’s recently announced LYTIA 901 sensor.
According to a report from Korean media, the OmniVision OVB0D features a 1/1.1-inch imaging sensor, slightly larger than Sony’s 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901. The sensor employs a Bayer filter but differs from Sony’s more complex Quad-Quad Bayer Coding (QQBC) with its own dual on-chip re-mosaic structure.
While detailed technical information remains limited, it is speculated that Sony’s sensor may deliver slightly superior detail due to its advanced QQBC design.
The OVB0D boasts an exceptionally high full-well capacity of 400k and a wide dynamic range. It incorporates DCG and second-generation LOFIC technology to enhance multi-frame HDR processing, improving performance in challenging HDR environments. The sensor's 108 dB dynamic range also enables effective handling of scenes with mixed lighting.
Noted insider IceUniverse reports that the OVB0D will be integrated into flagship devices from Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Honor in 2026.
Conversely, Samsung is reportedly unlikely to adopt either Sony’s LYTIA 901 or OmniVision’s OVB0D sensors due to rising costs and decreasing profitability. Instead, Samsung plans to continue using a smaller 1/1.3-inch 200MP sensor similar to its current HP2 model.
