    But if trade war with Samsung will start and silent cartel will fall it can be total disaster, as now Sony managed to keep big profits by cutting any possible competition.

    Sony plans to invest 100b yen ($918M) in its budget for the next fiscal year to build a new image sensor fab. The fab is expected to start operation as soon as in the fiscal year that starts in April 2021. In 2016, Sony bought Toshiba CIS plant in Oita Prefecture. It is the first time in 12 years for the company to build a plant from the ground up. In 2007, it built a fab in Kumamoto Prefecture.

    Seems to me that Sony knows something, including fact that Samsung fabs where they make lot of new sensors will be not available.
