This is what iPhones have done for a long time?

Edit: OK, not quite, thanks for the correction.

Yeah most phone sensors have high enough readout speeds that this is the best way to handle shutter lag and also computational photography needs. To my the best of my knowledge though, all cellphones still use rolling shutters, just fast ones. This is a single freeze frame capture, all at once, 120 times per second.
The iPhone sensor uses a rolling shutter and is 25x smaller than Sony's.
