OmniVision has developed a new, high-end 200MP camera sensor for upcoming flagship phones, a rival to the recently introduced Sony LYTIA 901. According to a report in Korean media, the OmniVision OVB0D is a 200MP imager measuring 1/1.1″, slightly larger than Sony’s 1/1.12″ LYTIA 901 sensor. The sensor features a Bayer filter, but uses a different dual on-chip re-mosaic structure, as opposed to the LYTIA’s more complex QQBC (Quad-Quad Bayer Coding) structure.

High Dynamic Range and Advanced HDR Technology

Technically, Sony’s sensor is expected to have a slight edge in detail thanks to its more advanced QQBC structure, but this information is not yet confirmed. The OmniVision OVB0D boasts a very high full-well capacity (400kHz) and dynamic range. It utilizes DCG + LOFIC Gen 2 technology for multi-frame HDR processing.

This helps the sensor better handle extreme HDR scenarios. LOFIC Gen 2 technology and 108dB dynamic range promise to successfully handle mixed lighting conditions within a scene.

According to well-known leaker Iceuniverse, the OVB0D sensor is expected to appear in flagship models from brands like Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Honor in 2026. The same source claims that Samsung is not expected to adopt either Sony’s or OmniVision’s new, larger 200MP sensors due to “increasing costs and declining profitability.” Instead, Samsung will continue to use a smaller 200MP 1/1.3-inch sensor, similar to the existing HP2 sensor.
