Fresh leaks are fueling the buzz around Sony’s upcoming 200MP smartphone camera sensor, boasting a sizable 1/1.1-inch format. Word is, OPPO will be the pioneer in integrating this beast into its Find X9 lineup, potentially kicking off a fierce rivalry in the mobile imaging space.
There’s even speculation that Samsung might join the effort for one of its high-end models down the line. This scoop originates from Digital Chat Station, a trusted insider on Weibo, who has confirmed Sony’s plans in a recent update. Earlier whispers had already suggested that the OPPO Find X9 Ultra would feature a 200MP primary shooter, but the real twist came when Sony emerged as the manufacturer behind it.
All signs point to this sensor igniting the next wave of phone photography wars. It’ll go head-to-head with fan-favourite options like OmniVision’s 50MP 1-inch units, prized for their generous pixel dimensions. At the same time, Sony aims to show that sky-high megapixels can shine when backed by substantial sensor real estate.
