Sony's first LOFIC camera sensor officially announced: Video shows Lytia L910 advantage for Vivo X500 Pro Max
For weeks, leakers such as the highly reliable Digital Chat Station have been emphasizing that the successors to the Vivo X300 Pro and potentially the Oppo Find X9 Pro will benefit from a new 50-megapixel Sony main camera featuring “Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor” or LOFIC technology. Today, June 17, 2026, the Japanese company unveiled a matching 50 megapixel sensor, which is supposed to prevent bright areas of an image from being blown out. A short video from Sony clearly demonstrates this advantage by comparing the new LYTIA L910 sensor with a conventional camera sensor under challenging conditions:
LYT L910: The "L" Makes the Difference
Anyone familiar with Sony's Lytia sensors may be somewhat surprised by the LYT L910 designation, as it is highly reminiscent of the LYT-910, the first Sony 200-megapixel sensor, which has been used in the Vivo X300 Ultra and the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. It is unclear why Sony is using the model number L910 instead of the expected LYT-838 name. In any case, the specs point to a top-tier image sensor that, with its 1/1.28-inch size, will likely succeed the LYT-828 in the Vivo X500 Pro Max.
Sony advertises a 100 dB HDR dynamic range with a single exposure, Triple Conversion Gain (TCG-HDR), and improved noise reduction of more than 30 percent compared with conventional sensors. According to Sony, eliminating multiple exposures for a higher dynamic range also reduces motion blur when capturing moving objects. Other advantages of the sensor include reduced power consumption, up to 120 fps for 12.5 MP burst shots, and 30 fps for 50-megapixel captures. At full HDR quality, it supports up to 60 fps at 12.5 megapixels or in 4K video.
