Phones with Sensor-shift OIS

Sensor-shift OIS is the form of stabilization that moves the sensor rather than the lens: when the hand shakes, the module shifts the light-recording sensor in the opposite direction instead of the glass. The goal is the same as classic OIS — cancel the shake physically before the light is recorded.

Moving the sensor makes the correction independent of the lens's optical quirks and allows smaller, finer adjustment steps. In practice the gains land in the same places: sharper photos in dim light, steadier handheld video.
