16MP Image Sensor Brings Top Performance and High Resolution to the Mainstream Smartphone Market

The OV16E10 is the latest generation of OMNIVISION’s high-performance 16 megapixel (MP) image sensor family. Built on its latest 1.12-micron PureCel®Plus stacked die technology with world-class sensitivity and QE performance, the 1/2.8-inch OV16E10 sensor comes with advanced imaging features to deliver industry-leading performance for both single- and multi-camera applications. Following the success of the previous-generation OV16B10 in the high-end mobile segment, this new image sensor brings high resolution with the same excellent image quality and features to the mainstream smartphone market.

Integrated into the OV16E10 is a 2×1 Microlens phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) function, a feature previously associated only with premium smartphones. This advanced PDAF technology imparts smartphones with fast and accurate autofocus capabilities, even in low-light conditions. Additionally, the OV16E10 is ideal for dual- and tri-camera designs, with its built-in frame rate synchronization for image fusion that simplifies multi-camera architectures. It also features a gyro interface that reads and synchronizes the motion data from an external gyroscope to enable precise image stabilization for video and still capture.

The OV16E10 supports multiple resolution configurations, including 16MP images output at 30 frames per second (fps), 4K2K video at 60 fps, 1080p video at 120 fps and 720p video at 180 fps.
