At present, small sensors are named after the dimensions of a hypothetical glass tube that would surround the sensor, as if they were a 1950's Vidicon tube. We will instead focus on actual sensor dimensions. The way the industry describes small image sensor sizes (eg: 1/2.3"-type) is not just unclear but actively misleading. So, we're going to change the way we describe sensors to make sure readers aren't so easily confused. Small sensors are currently named after the diameter of the VIdicon Tub...
