    Huawei's Upcoming P70 Series: Camera Sensor and Lens Details Revealed

    Huawei has recently made a comeback with the launch of its Mate 60 series, which is powered by the in-house HiSilicon Kirin 9000s chip. Excitingly, rumors suggest that the company is already working on its next project, the P70 series, set to be released in 2024.

    Three Models in the Lineup

    Similar to the Huawei P60 series, the P70 series is expected to consist of three different models: Huawei P70, Huawei P70 Pro, and Huawei P70 Art. While not much information is available about these smartphones, a reliable source has revealed details about the camera sensor and lens that will be used in the most premium model.

    The Top-End Model's Camera Sensor and Lens

    According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the P70 Art, which is the highest-end model in the lineup, will feature a 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor. What sets this camera sensor apart is its pairing with a 1G6P glass-plastic hybrid lens.

    Uncommon Lens Type

    The only other smartphone currently on the market that utilizes a similar lens, specifically a 1G3P lens, is the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This lens is used for the tetraprism zoom camera in the device.

    Advantages of Glass-Plastic Hybrid Lenses

    Glass-plastic hybrid lenses offer superior optical performance and are more resistant to deformation. Leading manufacturers of this type of lens include Largan and Sunny Optical.

    Cost and Future Adoption

    At the prototype stage, the 1G6P lens that Huawei plans to incorporate costs around $12. However, it is expected that the cost will decrease to $6-7 during mass production as yield rates improve. It is anticipated that other smartphone brands, including Apple and Huawei, will follow suit and adopt glass-plastic hybrid lenses.

    Launch Timeline

    The Huawei P70 series is rumored to be launched in March 2024. Following its release, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Ultra are set to be launched in April.

    With Huawei's focus on innovation and the inclusion of cutting-edge camera technology, smartphone enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the release of the P70 series.

    Realme GT 5 Pro, the upcoming flagship powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, is set to be officially launched this month, although the exact date is yet to be confirmed. While we await the official announcement, Realme has been gradually revealing key features of the GT 5 Pro.

    However, even if the Realme GT 5 Pro does have the same primary camera sensor as the OnePlus 12, the latter is expected to offer a superior photography experience. The OnePlus 12 is rumored to feature an IMX581 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an OmniVision OV64B 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

    In comparison, the Realme GT 5 Pro's rear camera setup is expected to include an IMX355 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an IMX890 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 2.7x optical zoom. Both phones are expected to feature a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

    Other Specifications of Realme GT 5 Pro

    Apart from the camera details, some other specifications of the Realme GT 5 Pro have also been leaked. It is rumored to sport a 6.78-inch curved-edge OLED 1.5K 144Hz display. The phone is expected to come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. It will also feature one of the largest heat dissipation units to keep the device cool during intense usage.

    The Realme GT 5 Pro is rumored to be powered by a 5,400mAh battery and will support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. It will run on Realme UI 5, which is based on Android 14.

    Launch Timeframe for Realme GT 5 Pro

    November 23 is set to be a busy day in the smartphone industry, with the Honor 100 series, Oppo Reno 11 lineup, and Red Magic 9 Pro series all scheduled for launch. Considering this, it is likely that the Realme GT 5 Pro will make its debut after the release of these smartphones. The announcement of the GT 5 Pro is expected to take place in the last week of November.

    With its powerful specifications and promising camera capabilities, the Realme GT 5 Pro is shaping up to be an exciting flagship offering from the company. Smartphone enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its official launch to get their hands on this highly anticipated device.
