June 30, 2023

Key Takeaways:

  • Based on our checks, Sony may debut the second generation of 1” sensor, IMX06A, in 3Q23. By migrating the logic wafer process node from 40nm to 22nm, digital power consumption was reduced while keeping the same clock frequency, and frame rate may be increased compared to IMX989.
  • Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo are likely to choose the IMX06A as the main camera sensor for their flagship models despite its higher price, due to the mentioned improvements over the IMX989.
  • Sony may be the sole producer of 1" sensors as the market may not be large enough to accommodate multiple suppliers.
