SmartSens Launches 50-Megapixel Flagship Mobile Image Sensor SC585XS: Ushering in a New Era of High-End Imaging

SmartSens (SmartSens, stock code 688213), a leading CMOS image sensor supplier, recently unveiled its latest masterpiece the SC585XS, a 50-megapixel, 1/1.28-inch high-end mobile image sensor. Manufactured using a cutting-edge 28+nm Stack process, this sensor is a fully domestically produced product, marking a significant breakthrough for China in the high-end mobile image sensor field. The SC585XS not only empowers high-end smartphones with superior imaging capabilities but also injects new vitality into the domestic supply chain.

Exceptional Imaging, Flagship-Level Imaging Experience

The SC585XS boasts a large 1.22m pixel size and incorporates SmartSens' self-developed advanced technologies including SFCPixel-2, PixGainHDR, and AllPixADAF, resulting in exceptional performance in high dynamic range, low noise, fast focusing, and ultra-low power consumption. This perfect combination of technologies enables the SC585XS to capture high-definition, detailed images with true-to-life colors and excellent contrast, fulfilling the ultimate pursuit of high-performance imaging in flagship smartphones.

High Dynamic Range: Capturing Details in Bright and Dark Areas

The integrated PixGainHDR technology significantly enhances the dynamic range, reaching up to 88dB with dual frame. This means that even in complex lighting conditions with high contrast, such as strong backlighting or scenes with alternating light and shadow, the SC585XS can easily capture rich details in both bright and dark areas, avoiding overexposure or underexposure, and presenting images with distinct layers and rich details. Furthermore, PixGainHDR technology effectively suppresses motion artifacts through the synthesis of high and low gain images from the same frame exposure, ensuring clear and stable images even when shooting moving objects.

Ultra-Low Noise: Clear Images in Low-Light Environments

As a CIS targeting high-end mobile applications, the SC585XS employs SmartSens' patented SFCPixel-2 technology. Its SF (Stacked) central design effectively improves light collection efficiency and sensitivity, significantly reducing noise. The SC585XS boasts a read noise (RN) of less than 1e-, approximately 33% lower than comparable competitors. This ensures that even in dimly lit nighttime or indoor environments, the SC585XS can capture high-quality images with clear details and minimal noise, providing users with a clearer and purer night-shooting experience.

Dual-Mode Fast Focusing: Precisely Capturing Every Moment

Lighting conditions significantly impact a camera's focusing speed. In low light, focusing failures and slow speeds are common. To address this, the SC585XS utilizes SmartSens' AllPixADAF and SparsePDAF technologies, enabling dual-mode adaptive fast focusing. In low-light environments, the SC585XS automatically switches to AllPixADAF mode, utilizing 100% full-pixel autofocus technology for fast and accurate focusing, ensuring clear and precise capture even in low light. Under normal lighting conditions, the SC585XS switches to SparsePDAF mode, achieving precise focusing through partial pixel phase detection while significantly reducing power consumption for extended shooting.

Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Long-Lasting Battery Life, Worry-Free Image Creation

Image capture is a high-power application for smartphones. The SC585XS, based on the advanced 28+nm Stack process and featuring an advanced readout circuit architecture and excellent low-power design, achieves ultra-low power consumption while maintaining high performance. Compared to competitors, the SC585XS's power consumption is reduced by approximately 30% in AllPixADAF mode and 50% in SparsePDAF mode. This not only reduces phone heating during shooting and extends video recording time but also significantly improves overall battery life, allowing users to fully enjoy the pleasure of image creation without worrying about insufficient battery power.

Fully Domestically Produced: Strengthening the Domestic Supply Chain

The significance of the SC585XS extends beyond its exceptional performance. As a fully domestically produced high-end mobile image sensor, from design and manufacturing to mass production, the SC585XS fully demonstrates SmartSens' strength in independent innovation and technological breakthroughs. This is of significant strategic importance for enhancing China's self-sufficiency in high-end chip technology and building a secure and reliable domestic supply chain system. The successful mass production of the SC585XS will effectively enhance the resilience of SmartSens' supply chain and provide strong support for the sustainable development of China's smartphone industry.

SmartSens' Future Outlook
