I don't think 1 inch sensors will sell well in the mobile phone market because it requires a huge lens also and so thicker bodies, which mobile phone manufacturers are not into at the moment. 1 inch sensor compact cameras, or in fact compact cameras for that matter, is a dead market now because of mobile phones, while those who require superior quality and speed will use interchangeable lens cameras. 1 inch sensor is neither here nor there now, unless engineers can defy physics and make a lens that can keep to decent quality and small, I think it's hard to take off in mobile phones.
Like you say, that is a dying market. No harm trying it in the smartphone market for bragging rights and also partial marketing for their camera section.
NICE!!!! But I think it will cost more than 2k but less than xperia pro?
WITH LANYARD HOLDER
My 2k means $2000 ...He mentioned can record 4K 120 fps
Seem like this pro named phone is really for pro and not just meant premium features....guess I am out.
Sorry I was talking about the video...didn't notice you mentioned it cost 2k...
Yup, let's see if other manufacturers will pick up this sensor and make a breakthrough in lens engineering which will enable usage of the full area of the sensor without being too bulky.Like you say, that is a dying market. No harm trying it in the smartphone market for bragging rights and also partial marketing for their camera section.
Xperia 1 succeeded in pioneering the market for longer display size at their patent 21:9 ratio, with the many of the rest followed with their 20:9 ratio.
Sharp R6 use the same 1 inch Sony sensor. Theirs are full 20MP.
Yea maybe Sony wanted the variable aperture so cannot utilize the full sensor.
They sacrifice thickness for the pixel size if not wrong. Therefore Sony only utilize 60% of the sensor. But think they able to utilize the bokeh the free pixels can likely also used for proper stabilization (steady shot)
