The smartphone camera race has been dominated by Samsung’s 200MP ISOCELL sensors for years, but Sony might be ready to shake things up. A new leak has revealed details of the company’s upcoming LYT-910 — a massive 200MP sensor that could mark Sony’s most ambitious step yet in mobile imaging.
According to tipster @fenibook, the LYT-910 will be Sony’s first 200MP mobile sensor, and it’s shaping up to be a beast on paper. The sensor reportedly measures 1/1.11 inches, which is significantly larger than the 1/1.3-inch ISOCELL HP2 found in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra. It uses 0.7µm pixels, up from 0.6µm of Samsung’s HP2.
Under the hood, the sensor employs dual-level Remosaic technology — QBC for 50MP and QQBC for 200MP — which should improve both capture speed and processing efficiency. Leaks also point to 4K video recording at up to 120fps and 8K at 30fps, both with HDR support.
Beyond resolution, Sony seems focused on dynamic range and efficiency. The LYT-910 reportedly achieves a dynamic range exceeding 100dB, giving it stronger HDR performance in challenging lighting — think neon-lit streets or sun-soaked landscapes. It also supports lossless 2x and 4x digital zoom, cropping directly from native pixels without losing sharpness.
As per the tipster, this near 1-inch high-resolution sensor could power flagships starting next year. Expect flagships from Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi to be among this sensor in their next “Ultra” phones.
If the leaks pan out, Sony’s LYT-910 might be the company’s most serious challenge yet to Samsung’s ISOCELL line — not just by throwing more pixels at the problem, but by refining how those pixels perform.
After years of seeing Samsung dominate the ultra-high-megapixel space, Sony’s new contender could mark a turning point. And for smartphone photography fans, that’s great news — competition almost always leads to better cameras for everyone.
