OV50K40

50-megapixel product brief

Smartphone Sensor Features TheiaCel™ Technology for
High and Stable Single Exposure HDR Image Capture
The new OV50K40 is the first smartphone image sensor with for optimal performance in low-light conditions. It supports
TheiaCel™ technology, which harnesses the capabilities of 4-cell binning for 12.5MP at 120 frames per second (fps) and
lateral overflow integration capacitors (LOFIC) to provide the 60 fps with HDR, with 4x sensitivity. Quad phase detection
best-in-class single-exposure high dynamic range (HDR) (QPD) enables ultra-fast autofocus performance. An on-chip
