We haven’t yet reached an era where 1-inch smartphone camera sensors have become commonplace. Users sincerely rejoice when a manufacturer decides to install a large sensor, thus providing better opportunities for photography in low light conditions (and not only). And now there are rumours that Huawei is preparing to impress its fans by using a 1-inch sensor in the future P70 line. But not for the main camera, as you might think, but for the ultra-wide-angle one.
Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared information that Genius Electronic Optical will supply Huawei with an upgraded ultra-wide-angle camera module for the P70 series. According to rumours, the new ultra-wide-angle camera will have a unique 1G6P lens (1G6P stands for one glass, six plastic elements) and a 1-inch sensor.
With the potential camera upgrade, sales of the P70 series devices are expected to increase by about 100-120% compared to sales of the Huawei P60 series.
In the P60 series of smartphones, Huawei used a design with three cameras on the back, which were aligned vertically. The middle lens, the largest, was located in the middle, and the manufacturer placed an ultra-wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens above and below. In terms of specifications, the P60 Pro features a 48-megapixel primary camera with variable aperture and OIS support, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera that also has OIS.
The P70’s design has not yet appeared in renders, except for a few questionable 3D sketches. And in general, not much is known about this series at the moment. But the leak also reports the possibility of using a Kirin 9000s processor. This is the chip that SMIC and Huawei announced recently, and it is a 7nm processor that supports 5G. Considering that the Huawei P60 series launched in March 2023, the new generation should probably be expected around the same time frame.
