Huawei has been making waves in the smartphone industry with its recent launch of the Mate 60 Pro, the company's first 5G smartphone. This achievement was made possible by the use of Huawei's new 7nm Kirin 9000s 5G SoC, which was manufactured by SMIC. Now, it seems that Huawei has another exciting development in store, as it plans to build its own camera sensors for its upcoming flagship device, the Huawei P70.
Huawei P70 to feature proprietary camera sensors
In October, there were reports suggesting that Huawei was working on developing its own CMOS image sensors. This decision was prompted by the fact that the company's supply of Sony sensors had run out. Due to the US sanctions imposed on Huawei, Sony halted shipments of its image sensors to the Chinese tech giant. As a result, Huawei is now aiming to create its own camera systems for its future smartphones.
Rumors on Weibo (Via SamMobile) suggest that the Huawei P70 will be one of the first devices to feature this proprietary imaging technology. While Huawei has previously relied on Sony cameras, the company has not renewed its contract with the Japanese giant for new sensors. With the launch of the P70 approaching, it is highly likely that this flagship smartphone will come equipped with in-house camera sensors. Additionally, previous reports have hinted at the P70 featuring an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.
Continuing the tradition of exceptional photography
Huawei's P series smartphones have always been known for their exceptional photography capabilities, offering some of the best cameras on the market. Although the specific camera specifications and resolution for the P70 are still unknown, it is expected that the primary sensor will have a resolution of around 48 megapixels. In the previous generation P60 Pro model, Huawei introduced two 48-megapixel cameras (primary + periscope) along with a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. It is likely that the P70 will follow a similar camera layout. However, it is important to note that this information is based on speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt for now.
With Huawei's commitment to innovation and its efforts to develop its own camera sensors, the Huawei P70 is shaping up to be an exciting flagship device. As the smartphone industry continues to push boundaries, Huawei is positioning itself as a key player with its advancements in 5G technology and now, in-house camera systems. Consumers can look forward to experiencing the next level of photography with the Huawei P70.
