The first
camera phone
A camera phone is a mobile phone that is able to capture photographs and often record video using one or more built-in digital cameras. It can also send the resulting image wirelessly and conveniently. The first commercial phone with a color c ...
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

A digital camera, also called a digicam, is a camera that captures photographs in Digital data storage, digital memory. Most cameras produced today are digital, largely replacing those that capture images on photographic film or film stock. Dig ...

introduced the 1.0-type IMX989 sensor with the
4:3 aspect ratio that matched existing smartphones. Every phone in the list since 2022 features the IMX989 or its successor, the LYT-900.
Also note that the
Sony Xperia PRO-I does not qualify for this list, because it only uses 60% of its 1.0-type sensor. The latest
Leica Leitz and
Sharp Aquos R series phones do qualify because, despite using only 94% of their 1.0-type sensors

In digital photography, the crop factor, format factor, or focal length multiplier of an image sensor format is the ratio of the dimensions of a camera's imaging area compared to a reference format; most often, this term is applied to digital ...
