Sony Mobile announced the Xperia XZs at Mobile World Congress in February 2017. The Xperia XZs features a 1/2.3-inch optical format, 19 Mp resolution, Exmor RS “Motion Eye” camera offering with 960 fps video and predictive capture. The super slow motion functionality is made possible by world’s first memory stacked CIS.

Sony divulged details of its 3-layer stacked CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology at ISSCC 2017 (90 nm generation back-illuminated CIS top chip, 30 nm generation DRAM middle chip, and a 40 nm generation image signal processor (ISP) bottom chip).

Our analysis is now available on the IMX400 including the following reports:
