Sony says you can have both with its latest stacked CMOS image sensor. The IMX586 has the "industry's highest pixel count" with 48 megapixels, bettering high-end cameras like its own A7R III, all squeezed into a phone-sized 8.0 mm diagonal unit. At the same time, four adjacent pixels can be added together during low light shooting, yielding a 12-megapixel sensor that delivers "bright, low noise images," Sony said.Putting 48 megapixels on a chip that size yields a 0.8 micron pixel pitch, which would normally give you high resolution but poor nighttime shooting capability. However, Sony's "Quad Bayer" color filter array can also merge four pixels into one. That yields an effective pixel pitch of 1.6 micrometers, significantly better than Google's Pixel 2 XL (1.4 microns), one of the best low-light smartphone cameras out there.Quad Bayer sounds much like the "Pixel Fusion" tech used by Huawei in its P20 Pro smartphone. It reportedly uses Sony's 40-megapixel IMX600 to deliver high resolution images, but can also join four pixels together to create a 10-megapixel sensor with much better light-gathering capability.Sony's signal processing tech also allows fast output speeds and dynamic range "four times greater than conventional products." To wit, it would let you record 4K (4,096 x 2,160) video at 90 fps, and 1080p at a time-stopping 240 fps.Sony, which spun off its image sensor division in 2015, currently dominates sensor sales for both smartphones and premium DSLR/mirrorless cameras. Last quarter, it vowed to maintain that position by spending up to $9 billion developing new tech. First samples of the 48-megapixel chip will arrive in September 2018, but Sony generally reserves new sensors for its own devices -- so you might see it appear first in Sony's Xperia XZ line of premium smartphones..<img src="https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/sony-imx-586-comparison.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/sony-imx-586-sensor.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> source: <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/07/23/sony-48-megapixel-smartphone-sensor/?sr_source=Facebook" target="_blank">engadget</a></blockquote>
