This smartphone component is setting a new record globally

Despite the global components crunch and supply constraints, the CMOS image sensor (CIS) or smartphone camera growth is expected to be in double digits to reach almost 6 billion units in 2021, according to a new report.
Smartphone imaging systems will continue to see strong hardware upgrades this year, with CIS content per smartphone expanding to an average of 4.1, according to Counterpoint Research.
“A big driver has been triple-and-above main camera setups, which accounted for two-thirds of all smartphones sold during the first half,” said Tarun Pathak, Counterpoint’s director of smartphone research.
