OMNIVISION’s OV50X50 image sensor was designed with the professional videographer and photographer in mind to enable movie-grade video capture in flagship smartphones. Consumers can now own a smartphone capable of superior video and photo capture around the clock, even in challenging capture conditions such as sunrise, sunset, or nighttime with bright lights.

The OV50X50 CMOS image sensor is a 50-megapixel (MP) sensor with a 1.6-micron (µm) pixel in a 1-inch optical format designed for flagship smartphones that require high dynamic range (HDR) video and preview with single exposure, excellent low-light performance, fast autofocus and high frame rates.

The OV50X50 supports 4-cell binning for 12.5MP at 180 frames per second (fps) and 60 fps with three-channel HDR. It offers premium-quality 8K video with dual analog gain (DAG) HDR and on-sensor crop zoom. OMNIVISION’s TheiaCel™ technology further expands single exposure HDR close to 108 dB—the highest range possible in smartphones. The sensor also supports quad phase detection (QPD) for best-in-class autofocus performance.
