Sony has unveiled the LYTIA L910, its most advanced 50MP smartphone camera sensor yet. It features a 1/1.28-inch sensor equipped with LOFIC CMOS technology, offering up to 100dB of dynamic range while maintaining low power consumption.
According to Sony, this configuration delivers high-quality 4K imaging in low-light conditions without significantly increasing power consumption. It also supports 4K HDR video recording at up to 60fps, bringing enhanced HDR performance to smartphone cameras.
The new sensor succeeds the Sony LYT-828, which was launched on June 26, 2025, and has appeared in flagship smartphones such as the vivo X300 Pro. The main difference between the two sensors lies in how they achieve high dynamic range (HDR). On paper, the Sony LYT-828 and the newer Sony LYTIA L910 share identical physical dimensions. However, the LYTIA L910 features an upgraded processing architecture that captures HDR images from a single exposure rather than combining multiple exposures, helping reduce motion artifacts while improving power efficiency.
Specifications, Upgrades, and Availability
Key Features:
- 1/1.28-inch sensor
- First LYTIA sensor with LOFIC architecture
- 50MP resolution with 1.22μm pixels
- Up to 100dB dynamic range from a single exposure
- 4K HDR video recording at 60fps
- 50MP image capture at 30fps and 12.5MP at 120fps
Below are the official specifications of the Sony LYTIA L910 as listed on their website:
| Image size | 1/1.28-type (diagonal 12.49 mm) |
| Effective pixels | Approx. 50 megapixels |
| Unit cell size | 1.22 μm (H) ×1.22 μm (V) |
| Color filter | Quad Bayer Coding |
| Frame rate (at full-pixel AF) | • 50 Megapixels (4:3) at 30 fps • 12.5 Megapixels (4:3) at 120 fps 60 fps (DCG-HDR), 60 fps (TCG-HDR w/LOFIC) • 4K2K (16:9) at 60 fps (2×2 Bin, DCG-HDR) 60 fps (2×2 Bin, TCG-HDR w/LOFIC) |
