According to a new report, the Huawei P70 series will use a much better ultrawide camera. This information comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst who is usually spot-on with his information.
The Huawei P70 series will get a much better ultrawide camera
He said that Genius Electronic Optical will provide Huawei with a new ultrawide camera module. He also reiterated that Huawei is aiming for 100-120% growth with the Huawei P70 series devices (compared to the P60 series). That’s something he mentioned back in November too.
In any case, this new camera module will use a 1G6P lens. In other words, it will have one glass and six plastic elements. On top of that, this will be a 1-inch type sensor, which is a huge deal. Most ultrawide units out there use 1.56-inch type sensors.
Needless to say, the camera system on the Huawei P70 series will be a huge deal. That is one of the main selling points of Huawei devices, and it has been that for quite some time now. That is especially true when it comes to the company’s flagships.
That camera setup on the back will have the ‘XMAGE’ branding, and if the Huawei Mate 50 series, P60 series, and Mate 60 series are anything to go by, those cameras will be immensely capable.
Leica’s departure didn’t exactly mess up Huawei’s camera prowess, not at all
The fact that the Leica partnership is no longer active didn’t really affect Huawei’s cameras. Those smartphones provide outstanding images and really good video. So we’re looking forward to seeing what can Huawei achieve with even more powerful camera hardware.
We still don’t have the details regarding other cameras on the phone… well, phones, as we’re expecting to see three of them. The Huawei P60 series arrived back in March last year (global launch was in May), so we’re expecting a similar launch timeframe this time around.
Chances are we’ll see plenty more rumors by the time the launch event comes knocking.
