Oppo and Sony’s Lytia image sensor brand have announced a new strategic partnership that will bring Sony’s dual-layer stacked sensors to future Oppo flagships. Oppo promises that the new sensors will “unlock the next era of computational photography” but doesn’t reveal when we can expect to see the first device with this new sensor.

Sony’s ExmorT IMX 888 stacked CMOS sensor with 2-layer transistor pixel technology was first introduced in the Xperia 1 V earlier this year, and Sony is introducing two more sensors that use the CMOS sensor design stacked: IMX903 and IMX907. We have a more detailed explanation about the new dual-layer stacked sensor design and its benefits here.
Sony’s layered CMOS sensor design
The key point is that the transistor and photodiode layers are separated, allowing for physically larger diodes, greater light capture, and better low-light performance. Fellow BBK brand vivo also announced a partnership with Sony’s Lytia division earlier this summer for the upcoming flagship vivo X100 series that will feature Sony’s custom stacked CMOS sensors.
