Today, Digital Chat Station revealed the specifications of the Sony IMX09E image sensor, claiming it will be the new main camera for a smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
According to the leak, this sensor is manufactured using a 22nm process, with a size of 1/1.12 inches and a pixel size of 0.7 μm. It supports Hybrid Frame-HDR technology (HF-HDR) and boasts an ultra-high dynamic range exceeding 100dB. The sensor’s light sensitivity has significantly improved, and it supports 2x and 4x lossless zoom with full pixel binning.
The HF-HDR technology is a comprehensive technique that integrates various HDR functions, including two core technologies: the single-frame HDR technology found in traditional products, and the multi-frame HDR technology that combines DCG data with short exposure frames via backend application processing.
It is worth mentioning that the blogger revealed that an engineering prototype from a company is testing the IMX09E CMOS sensor, and it is widely believed that this device is the OPPO Find X9 Ultra.
Last month, Zhou Yibao, the person in charge of OPPO Find series products, revealed that OPPO has made further advancements in its joint R&D with Hasselblad this year, with products and features expected to be more enriched, and the Find X9 series will feature highly anticipated imaging hardware while supporting ultra-high image quality and color reproduction.
According to rumors, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra features a 2K resolution display and comes pre-installed with the ColorOS 16 operating system. Its battery boasts a typical capacity of 6,850mAh (rated at 7,000mAh) and supports 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.
