List of large sensor camera phones
This is a list of smartphones with a primary camera that uses a 1.0-type (“1-inch”) image sensor or larger. However, as of July 2023, there are no smartphones that use a sensor larger than 1.0-type.
The first camera phone to feature a 1.0-type sensor was the Panasonic Lumix CM1 in 2014. Seven years passed before another phone featured such a sensor. These early examples used sensors with a 3:2 aspect ratio that were originally designed for standalone digital cameras. In 2022, Sony introduced the 1.0-type IMX989 sensor (co-developed by Xiaomi) with the 4:3 aspect ratio that matched existing smartphones. Every phone in the list since 2022 features the IMX989.
Note that this is not a list of the “best” camera phones, since there are many factors that affect image quality other than sensor size.
Also note that the Sony Xperia PRO-I does not qualify for this list, because it only uses 60%[lower-alpha 1] of its 1.0-type sensor.[1] The Leica Leitz Phone 2 and Sharp Aquos R7 and R8 Pro do qualify because, despite using only 94%[lower-alpha 2] of their 1.0-type sensors[2][3] (with 4:3 aspect ratio), they maintain the same crop factor (2.7) and diagonal (1″) as a 1.0-type sensor with 3:2 aspect ratio, since that is the image circle for which their lenses were originally designed.
