The new Sony LYTIA 720 50 MP 1/1.56-inch photo sensor arrives to improve low-light images

One of the main functions that a mobile phone offers us is capturing photographs and making videos. A feature that has gained relevance over time, with quality images and videos, which have made us forget the small digital cameras we saw a few years ago. To continue improving in this aspect, Sony has launched a new sensor for mobile devices, the LYTIA 720, with 50 MP and 1/1.56-inch aperture.

Sony LYTIA 720: a 50 MP sensor that reduces noise in night photos

This new Sony sensor has a size of 1/1.56 inch and a pixel size of 1 micrometer. It has Sony’s own technology capable of reducing noise, up to a 50% more than the previous LYTIA 700 model. This technology, called Ultra High Conversion Gain (UHCG) Improves images when there is low light in the environment.

The Sony LYTIA 720 achieves a dynamic range of 100 dB and records in 4K at 60 FPS

This technology is also combined with HDR to offer a hybrid frame (HF-HDR) achieving a 100 dB dynamic rangewhich allows you to capture images in brightly lit scenes and at the same time in low light. It also allows you to record video with resolution up to 4K at 60 FPS using single frame HDR technology. A sensor that will take better photographs, with less overexposure in illuminated areas and more details in the shadows.

Sony defines that the images obtained with this sensor resemble those perceived by the human eye, a characteristic to take into account in photographs with real colors. The new LYTIA 720 sensor will begin shipping to manufacturers in November.
