Omnivision released OV48C at CES, which is a 48-megapixel image sensor with a large pixel size of 1.2 microns. It is officially claimed to provide high-resolution and excellent low-light photography performance for flagship smartphone cameras .
The sensor size of the OV48C is 1 / 1.3 inches, the pixel size is 1.2 μm, and the effective pixels are 48 million. At the same time, it also claims to be the first product with core-level HDR, lower signal-to-noise ratio and fewer sports ghosts. The OV48C sensor comes with a 4-unit color filter array, supports 48-megapixel Bayer output, supports four-pixel integration (equivalent to 12 million pixels, 2.4 μm), supports 4K / 8K video shooting and 360fps slow motion.
Arun Jayaseelan, Marketing Manager, Omnivision, said: "The combination of high resolution, large pixel size, and high dynamic range is critical for features such as the night mode of flagship mobile phone cameras. OV48C is the only one in the industry that offers high 48MP resolution, 1.2 The flagship mobile image sensor with micro-pixel, high-speed and chip-level HDR provides superior signal-to-noise ratio, excellent low-light performance and high-quality 4K video. "
Just looking at the parameters, OV48C is undoubtedly the strongest 48-megapixel CMOS at present. The actual performance is more worth looking forward to than 64-megapixel products. It is reported that manufacturers have installed and tested it. We will wait and see.
