Omnivision has introduced the OV50R40, a 50-megapixel image sensor that redefines what’s possible in mobile photography and videography. Designed for flagship smartphones, action cams, and compact vlogging devices, the OV50R40 combines cinematic dynamic range with exceptional low-light performance—all in a compact footprint.

What Makes the OV50R40 Stand Out?
- Massive Dynamic Range: With up to 110 dB single-exposure HDR, the sensor captures extreme contrast scenes with clarity—preserving detail in both shadows and highlights. That’s over 18 stops of dynamic range, rivaling professional cinema gear.
- Low-Light Mastery: Featuring 1.2µm pixels and advanced 4-cell binning, the OV50R40 excels in dim environments. It supports 12.5MP at 120 fps and 4K at 60 fps with three-exposure HDR, ensuring smooth, vivid video even at night.
- Speed and Precision: Autofocus performance is tuned for fast-moving subjects, making it ideal for sports, action, and spontaneous moments. The sensor’s responsiveness rivals mirrorless cameras.
- Compact Integration: Built for slim devices, the OV50R40 delivers pro-grade imaging without demanding bulky hardware—perfect for mobile creators and vloggers on the go.

The OV50R40 leverages Omnivision’s second-generation TheiaCel™ technology, which enhances HDR capture and real-time noise reduction. This means better results in tricky lighting—whether it’s harsh sunlight or dim indoor scenes.
Who’s It For?
- Smartphone manufacturers targeting premium camera performance
- Action cam and vlogging device makers
- Creators who demand cinematic quality in a pocket-sized setup
The OV50R40 isn’t just another sensor—it’s a leap forward in mobile imaging. By combining ultra-high dynamic range, low-light sensitivity, and fast autofocus in a compact form, Omnivision is empowering device makers to deliver professional-grade visuals to everyday users.
