Sony released 48 million pixel mobile phone CMOS IMX586: support 4K 90FPS

On the afternoon of July 23, Sony today unveiled a new stacked CMOS, the IMX586, for the smartphone platform.

The IMX586 has 48 million effective pixels and a resolution of 8000x6000, the highest in the industry. Other specifications, the sensor 1/2 inch, the unit pixel 0.8μm is also the world’s first.

For video recording, the IM586 supports up to 4K 90FPS, and slow-motion tracking frames can go up to 720P 480FPS.

According to Sony, the IMX586’s pixel arrangement uses a Quad Bayer array, which can be used with four pixels in a dark environment (equivalent to 12 million pixels) to reduce noise and increase brightness.

Seeing this, many friends may have thought of the 40-megapixel IMX600 on Huawei P20 Pro, which is also a large pixel, Quad Bayer array. However, the IMX600’s sensor size is larger (1/1.73), larger single pixels and integrated DRAM can achieve 960FPS slow motion.

It is reported that the IMX586 tax-included price is 3,000 yen, and shipments began in September.
