"LOFIC stands for Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor - it's a capacitor that takes in the charge that goes over the photodiode's full well capacity. This enables things like single-exposure HDR and longer exposures. We've already seen a LOFIC sensor from OmniVision - the OV50K inside the Honor Magic6 Ultimate. But the Ultimates have always been experimental, this is about wider adoption. More recently, OmniVision unveiled the OV50X, a 1" sensor with 8K HDR video."
"Sony will introduce a 1/1.3" LOFIC sensor towards the end of 2026, says DCS. This could be the LYT-838. Samsung will have a LOFIC design ready for late 2026/early 2027 - it will reportedly be a 200MP 1/1.1" sensor dubbed "ISOCELL HPA". Apple is developing an in-house LOFIC sensor for 2027 or 2028, which is targeting 100MP resolution. Here's something interesting - LOFIC sensors are also being built for automotive uses."
LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) sensors capture overflow charge from photodiodes, enabling single-exposure HDR and longer exposures. OmniVision has already shipped the OV50K in the Honor Magic6 Ultimate and unveiled the OV50X, a 1" sensor capable of 8K HDR video. OmniVision and vivo are collaborating on forthcoming LOFIC implementations, while other sensor makers are developing LOFIC designs. Sony plans a 1/1.3" LOFIC sensor toward the end of 2026, Samsung targets a 200MP 1/1.1" ISOCELL HPA in late 2026/early 2027, and Apple pursues an in-house 100MP LOFIC sensor for 2027–2028. LOFIC designs are also being adapted for automotive use to reduce LED flicker.
