The OnePlus 12 will include Sony’s new LYTIA camera sensor, it has been confirmed. The two companies partnered up for this announcement. OnePlus shared the news via Weibo, a Chinese social media network.
The OnePlus 12 will feature Sony’s powerful new LYTIA camera sensor
The company said the following: “The new generation of Sony’s LYTIA light embodies beauty with light and opens up a new future for mobile imaging”. OnePlus is actually the third company under the BBK Electronics umbrella to partner up with Sony.
The OnePlus Open comes with Sony’s dual-stacked LYTIA camera sensor. Vivo and Sony also announced that the Vivo X100 series will use a custom version of the LYT800 sensor. The sensor that will be used in the OnePlus 12, however, could top both of those.
We still don’t know what sensor will this be exactly, but we’re probably looking at the Sony IMX966. That is a 50-megapixel sensor. It is expected to be a 1/1.4-inch sensor with Sony’s 2-ayer transistor pixel technology. It could be somewhat similar to the sensor Sony used in the Sony Xperia 1 V.
This camera will be able to capture more light than the one on the OnePlus 11
It will allow the phone to capture more light than the OnePlus 11 was able to, amongst other things. The OnePlus 11 also had great camera performance, and this sensor will likely be a major improvement. So… that’s kind of exciting.
The OnePlus 12 is expected to arrive either in December or in January. We don’t know if OnePlus will launch it globally from the get-go, or will the China event take place first, as was the case last year.
Either way, the OnePlus 12 will be an immensely powerful smartphone. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be backed by LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage. A 5,400mAh battery is also tipped, along with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
