Sony announces new LYTIA 720 50MP 1/1.56-inch sensor for mobile
Sony has announced the LYTIA 720, a new 50MP stacked CMOS image sensor designed for mobile devices.
The Sony LYTIA 720 measures 1/1.56-inches and features a 1.0μm pixel size. It uses Sony’s proprietary Ultra High Conversion Gain (UHCG) circuit technology, which is claimed to improve low-light performance by reducing random noise by up to 50% compared to the LYTIA 700.
The new sensor also combines UHCG technology with Hybrid Frame-HDR (HF-HDR) to achieve a dynamic range of 100dB. The sensor also supports 4K 60 fps HDR video recording using single-frame HDR technology.
According to Sony, these technologies enable higher-quality still images with better detail retention in shadow areas and reduced highlight blowouts when capturing high-contrast scenes. The images are also said to closely match what the human-eye sees.
Sony says mass-production shipments of the LYTIA 720 will begin early next month.

Price would be too obscene at the point not even Apple would be willing to pay. Apple can afford any component they want. Brands already refuse to pay more for exmor T alone, imagine one that have this all

They need more competition, lets hope other sensor manufacturers manage to capture more of the market
