Looks like Sony is up to making much more a complete camera SoC then traditional CMOS stand alone sensor which is a good thing as it saves: inter bandwidth (on usage of IPS), latencies & time meanwhile saving the power. I assume they additional logic is integrated in ASICS form that doesn't take much die but I am still concerned on the impact this approach will have on price of a product.

Great work Sony!

Somehow your competitors optimize it always better than yourself in smartphones.
