OmniVision Technologies a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions that has been empowering various smartphones with its award-winning CMOS imaging technology is now coming up with yet another sensor that will be used by the high-end devices. The latest OV12890 is a new 1.55-micron big-pixel sensor developed especially for flagship smartphones. The new sensor is built on the OmniVision’s PureCel Plus-S stacked die technology that delivers improved sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with faster 12-bit readout architecture when compared with previous generation big-pixel sensors.
Such enhancements enable the ½.3-inch OV12890 sensor to capture ultra-high resolution,high-frame rate images and video with support for phase detection autofocus (PDAF). OmniVision claims that such features would add an attractive camera solution for the premium smartphones.

As cameras for premium smartphones continue to improve, we see the resolution race slowing down and increasing emphasis placed on pixel performance and image sensor size as key to ever-higher quality mobile images and video. The OV12890 is our newest big-pixel stacked die image sensor for the mobile market, and represents one of our strongest offerings for premium smartphones. The feature-rich OV12890 captures exceptional images and video in a compact package, making it a top-flightimaging solution for flagship mobile devices.
OmniVision’s latest OV12890 sensor will enable the high-end smartphones to take ultra-high resolution 4K2K videos at 60fps, 1080p full HD definition video at 240 fps via high speed D-PHY and C-PHY interfaces. It also enables the smartphone to combine the HDR like features in their camera interfaces.
OV12890 leverages the company’s PureCelPlus-S pixel technology to capture full resolution 12MP images and videos at 45fps.
OV12890 can fit into 10x10 mm modules with a z-height of 6mm. Omnivision’s latest OV12890 is currently available for sampling and is expected to enter volume production in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The last sensor OmniVision brought back in February was OV13870. It was aimed to enhance the camera quality of the devices even in low-light conditions.
