OmniVision has introduced its own high-end 200MP camera sensor, the OVB0D, designed for upcoming flagship smartphones to compete with Sony’s recently announced LYTIA 901 sensor.
Reported by Korean media, the OmniVision OVB0D features a slightly larger 1/1.1-inch 200MP sensor compared to Sony’s 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901. It employs a Bayer filter with a distinct dual on-chip re-mosaic architecture, differing from Sony’s more complex Quad-Quad Bayer Coding (QQBC) structure.
While technical details remain limited, Sony’s sensor might offer a marginal advantage in image detail due to its advanced Quad-Quad Bayer Coding design.
The OmniVision OVB0D boasts a high full-well capacity of 400k electrons and an impressive dynamic range. It leverages DCG and second-generation LOFIC technology for multi-frame HDR processing, enabling superior performance in challenging HDR environments. With LOFIC Gen 2 and a dynamic range of 108dB, this sensor promises excellent handling of varied lighting conditions within a scene.
Noted industry tipster Iceuniverse reveals that the OVB0D sensor will likely appear in flagship devices from vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Honor in 2026.
Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to avoid adopting either Sony’s or OmniVision’s larger 200MP sensors due to increasing costs and reduced profitability. Instead, Samsung will continue using a smaller 1/1.3-inch 200MP sensor, similar to the current HP2 model.
