One of the latest features of OnePlus 12 that has come into limelight is that it will debut a new Lytia dual-layer stacked sensor.

According to gsmarena, "The new stacked CMOS sensor with 2-layer transistor pixel technology features separate layers for the transistor and photodiode layers which allows for physically larger diodes and more light capture.
