Long-time leakster Digital Chat Station is keeping the rumor mill spinning, this time with a new claim that Sony could be working on a 200MP image sensor for camera phones. The sensor would rival Samsung's established ISOCELL HP2, as featured in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, as well as the ISOCELL HP9 found in the telephoto modules of phones such as Vivo X100 Ultra, X200 Pro, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The HP3 and HP9 are 1/1.3" and 1/1.4" sensors, respectively, but the rumoured new Sony sensor is claimed to be larger, potentially approaching the 1-inch mark.
