Sony IMX800 camera sensor in details

There have been rumors circulating about a new sensor called the Sony IMX800. However, it appears that there may have been some confusion, as this sensor actually made its debut with the Honor 70 series. It was supposed to be huge and was going to be featured in multiple flagships. The actual Sony IMX800 resolution is an unusual 54MP or more specifically 8,768 x 6,144px. With support for 4-to-1 pixel binning, most phones using this sensor will likely default to 13.5MP or 12MP resolution.

The sensor has a 1/1.49" optical format and it isn't as huge compared to other flagship offerings – e g., the Honor Magic4 Pro has an even larger camera module with dimensions of 1/, 56” as do the Galaxy S22 and S22+, Oppo Find X5 Pro and many others. Not only does this make for less bulk on your phone or tablet but also ensures better image quality due in part from its increased pixel density (pixels per inch). The Honor 70 series will be our first encounter with the IMX800, but the sensor will likely be featured in other camera-oriented phones as well. Which ones is yet to be revealed.
