SmartSens Announces New Domestically Produced 50MP CMOS Image Sensor for High-End Smartphone Cameras

Shanghai, China, November 28, 2024 SmartSens Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (SSE STAR MARKET: 688213), a technologically advanced CMOS image sensor supplier, recently announced SC585XS, a 50-MegaPixel (MP), 1/1.28-inch CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) for high-end smartphone cameras. This is a fully domestically produced 50MP high-end flagship smartphone application image sensor developed by SmartSens based on the 28+nm Stacked process technology. With a large pixel size of 1.22µm, SC585XS incorporates SmartSens’ advanced technologies such as SFCPixel^®-2, PixGain HDR^® and AllPix ADAF^®, featuring high dynamic range, ultra-low noise, fast autofocus, and ultra-low power consumption. The excellent imaging performance of SC585XS can fully meet the high-performance imaging requirements of flagship smartphones.

Main features

High dynamic range（HDR）

Based on SmartSens’ advanced PixGain HDR^® technology, the SC585XS has achieved a significant increase in dynamic range, with a maximum dynamic range of up to 88dB. Even in complex lighting conditions with high contrast, it can help mobile phone cameras capture high-quality images with varying brightness and rich details. Moreover, benefiting from PixGain HDR^® technology's combination of dual images （High Gain [high conversion gain] and Low Gain [low conversion gain]) under single exposure, SC585XS can effectively suppress motion artifacts while ensuring high dynamic range.

Ultra-low noise

As a CIS for high-end smartphones, SC585XS is equipped with SmartSens’ SFCPixel^®-2 technology, which reduces noise while achieving higher sensitivity. Its Read Noise (RN) is less than 1e-, which is about 33% lower than that of competitors with the same specifications. Therefore, even in low-light environments, the SC585XS can bring high-quality images with clear details to smartphone cameras.

Dual fast autofocus modes

Benefits from SmartSens’AllPix ADAF^® and Sparse PDAF technologies, the SC585XS achieves adaptive capabilities for two fast autofocus modes under diverse lighting conditions. In low-light environments, SC585XS can use the AllPix ADAF^® mode to achieve high-speed and precise focusing through all-pixel all-directional autofocus. In ordinary lighting environments, SC585XS can switch to the Sparse PDAF mode, achieving precise focusing and significantly reducing power consumption through sparse pixel phase detection.

Ultra-low power consumption

Relying on its excellent low power consumption design, SC585XS achieves ultra-low power consumption while ensuring overall performance. Compared with competitors of the same specification, the power consumption of SC585XS is reduced by approximately 30% in the AllPix ADAF^® mode and by approximately 50% in the Sparse PDAF mode. Low power consumption helps mitigate device overheating during video shooting, significantly increasing the maximum duration of video recording and the battery life of the phone.

SC585XS has been mass-produced and is sampling now. For more information or to request a sample, please contact SmartSens Sales Representatives: cs@smartsenstech.com.
