Sony has just launched the 200MP LYTIA LYT-901 smartphone camera sensor. At 1/1.12 inches, it is reportedly the world’s largest 200MP sensor. While Sony doesn’t mention this part in its press release, an X post from a popular leaker — @sondesix — claims so.
Sony introduces the new LYTIA LYT-901 image sensor, its first camera sensor with a 200 MP resolution. It is currently the world’s largest 200 MP sensor, with a 1/1.12" size.

This large sensor includes 0.7 µm pixels, up to 4x zoom by cropping into the sensor, and AI functionality added for faster processing and delivering high-quality details in images and videos. The world’s largest 200MP smartphone camera sensor by Sony is expected to come in some 2026 flagships.
Vivo and Oppo could get Sony’s 200MP sensor
Regarding which devices will feature this impressive camera, there are no official confirmations. However, the tipster @sondesix points to the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra as the high-end devices to use this sensor. @UniverseIce also claims that smartphones from Xiaomi and Honor could feature it. While specific models aren’t mentioned, it is expected that they will also be flagship smartphones.
Chinese brands will be the first phone manufacturers to try out this new camera. Leaks claim that Samsung doesn’t have any intention of using the feature. It is unlikely that its future smartphones, like the Galaxy S26 Ultra or Galaxy S27 Ultra, will use it.
iPhones will also likely not adopt this sensor. Apple goes with lower-megapixel options instead for its devices. Vivo X300 Ultra is expected to launch in March, first in China before getting to other markets. It will be the first smartphone to come with the largest 200MP camera sensor. Next will be the Oppo Find X9 Ultra coming in April.

There have been many stories about the Galaxy S26 series. Some have been about battery, thickness, charging and pricing. A new leak suggests what Samsung’s next flagship series will be like in terms of display. Previously, the rumour was that the lineup would deliver a richer colour and power-conscious experience.
A leak from a tipster, debunks such stories. Ice Universe shares on X that the displays for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series phones will likely feature the same 2,600 nits peak brightness as the current Galaxy S25 series. He adds that it is uncertain if these screens will include other potential improvements, such as support for 10-bit colour depth or high-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming.
The leak also mentions that Samsung could use its new M14 material in its display despite maintaining the same brightness. The OLED panels with Colour Filter on Encapsulation (CoE) reduce thickness and power usage, leading to increased efficiency, reduced power drain and improved long-term reliability.
As a Samsung leaker, I am basically sure that it will adopt M14 material and Polless screen technology, but I can’t guarantee that it will adopt 10bit technology and PWM high-frequency dimming. I advise you not to be too optimistic. https://t.co/WicBrzvunb — PhoneArt (@UniverseIce) November 20, 2025
“This is not a good sign. Display brightness has stayed unchanged for several generations, and it inevitably raises suspicion that Samsung has started cutting corners on the screen,” Ice Universe added.
Although Samsung has kept the same 2,600 nits brightness level since the Galaxy S24, the company is said to be making plans to improve the overall display of the next flagship series. While the Galaxy S26 won’t compete with the OnePlus 13 which belongs to the 4,500 nits group, the Galaxy S26 display won’t be all that bad.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to get a Flex Magic Pixel technology. It is a privacy feature that uses AI to electronically narrow viewing angles so that people can’t peer into your screen. It dynamically adjusts individual pixels to make the screen unreadable from the sides, without the need for physical privacy screen protectors, which dim the display of your device.
