Today, thanks to an insider at Digital Chat Station, it became known that the cameras of the upcoming Xiaomi 16 series smartphones, built on the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, will be based on the advanced OmniVision OV50Q sensor.
According to the source, OmniVision‘s latest OV50Q image sensor with advanced LOFIC technology marks another breakthrough in smartphone camera technology.
Key OmniVision OV50Q Specifications
- The matrix size is 1/1.3″ and the resolution is 50 MP
- Advanced LOFIC technology
- The possibilities of a “smooth transition of frames”
- “Superframe synthesis” to improve image quality
- Increased focus speed and accuracy
- Maximum extended dynamic range functionality
- Low power consumption
Features of advanced LOFIC technology
The integration of LOFIC technology is a significant step forward for the OV50Q sensor. It involves installing a high-density capacitor on each photodiode to collect excess photoelectrons that could otherwise lead to overexposure.
When a standard sensor photographs areas illuminated by the sun, the photodiodes quickly saturate, which leads to glare and loss of detail.
With LOFIC technology, an overabundance of photoelectrons is directed to neighboring capacitors, which allows you to save information about glare and significantly expand the dynamic range in difficult lighting conditions.
It is worth noting here that the new OmniVision OV50Q image sensor will also receive one of the future flagships of the Honor brand, and other manufacturers are unlikely to lag behind.
