Sony launches conference to offer a new line of smartphones in Xperia. It will be held February 24, the first day as part of the MWC 2020 exhibition. No details about the company’s plan were provided at this conference. However, rumours point to several smartphones.

The new flagship Xperia 5 Plus (Xperia 3) and Snapdragon 765 mid-budget device. The top-end smartphone should get a regular Xperia 5, 6.6-inch OLED display without a cut-out, USB-C and 3.5mm connector, as well as four camera sensor designs on the back server. It will have the Snapdragon 865 responsible for performance.

Demand for camera sensors for smartphones

As reported, there is a growing shortage of smartphone camera lenses in the world. As in the past two years, the industry has taken three or more lenses into cameras or modules.

This trend means more and more smartphone camera sensors need to be developed. And Sony’s main player in the market says they simply cannot meet the demand. According to Bloomberg, Sony’s representatives say image sensor manufacturing factories operate seven days a week for the second consecutive year.

The company is also building a new plant, which is due to start production in April 2021. But Sony Semiconductor chief Terushi Shimizu said such measures would not fully correct the situation. “Judging by how things are going, all this investment in a capacity-building may not be enough. We apologize to consumers,

Sony is not the only image sensor company to increase production in the region. Therefore, Bloomberg reported that Samsung is also increasing production to meet demand. The only encouraging fact for both companies is that the demand for smartphones itself has been declining in recent years.

But the transition to three and four key cameras means that even a decline in smartphone manufacturing will not reduce the demand for imaging sensors for cameras.
