Recently, China’s intellectual property office published a patent with application number CN115700841A and it has the title “Detection Method and Electronic Equipment”, which was applied on August 31, 2021.

Looking into the technical details, this technology uses an ultraviolet camera and an RGB camera, which collect UV-mapped images and color tones respectively. Then it matches the first area in the recognized ultraviolet image to the color image to improve the user experience.

That’s not it, there’s a visual representation of the entire scenario that showcases the camera can catch ultraviolet images from different angles and combines the information to process inside a dedicated application.

The app then improves the accuracy of the input and provides a refined result and guidance for the user. This is similar to a makeup app, you just need to open the sunscreen app, then tap on the shutter button and then the camera will do the rest of the work.

Once proceed the Huawei UV camera feature will tell you about the facial statics and may also highlight the area that needs sunscreen to protect the face from harmful sun rays.

Such features are a breakthrough for the smartphone industry but it would require you to manually record the facial data. Also, it would require additional camera hardware alongside the selfie camera.

To be mentioned, it would be interesting if the tech could be included in the face lock and show the statics on the lock screen.

According to the inputs from Weibo tipster, Classmateguan, the Huawei Mate X3 equips better camera quality with imaging capability. The phone will be light in design, which could increase the overall experience in hand.

Noteworthy, the price is not likely to be high. Looking at the predecessor, Huawei Mate X2 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM launch price was 17999 ($2782), and 8GB RAM + 512GB ROM price was 18999 ($2938).

It’s anticipated that Mate X3 will have a better foldable screen and good texture on the rear side. I am wondering, whether it will get a special edition.

Lastly, the tipster mentioned that Huawei Mate X3 could launch in March this year, possibly at the same time as the P60 lineup. It could also mean that the Chinees tech makes introduced both of these devices together.

However, no confirmation is in our corner at the moment.

A live image leak of the phone reveals a quad camera setup, consisting of a Periscope zoom on the top row. However, the camera layout appears square and it could carry a ring bump similar to the Mate 50 series. But we await more information on the camera specs.

Aside from these, Huawei will use the side opening and closing mechanism in this foldable, which makes it unique on its own. Despite recent rumors, it’s reported that Huawei Mat X3 is already under production and we could soon see it in a launch event.

Also, there’s one feature that is highly likely to debut in this folding-screen smartphone, satellite communication. Holds on! It may be the second generation of this amazing feature with two-way communication capability.

A Weibo tipster shared a spy shot of the Huawei Mate X3 camera system, which reveals a quad camera arrangement, similar to what we’ve seen in the Mate 50 series but with a slightly different placement.

The periscope camera is now settled on the top right, while the other is likely to be a main camera, ultra-wide angle, and macro camera. It also has a wide LED flash.

To be mentioned, the device in the image is a testing model and resides under a protective cover. Therefore, we can’t see an exact look at the external design.

Aside from the camera specifications, we can expect that the phone will come with an XMAGE imaging system and there will be new improvements to the photography section. From the appearance, we can confirm that it has a side opening and closing mechanism, which is exactly the same as the Mate X2.

The tipster anticipates that this new foldable smartphone is coming soon and it will still be powered by Snapdragon 8+ GEN 1 chipset. The chipset has octa-core architecture including Octa-core, 1 × Cortex-X2 at 3.2 GHz + 3 × Cortex-A710 at 2.75 GHz + 4 × Cortex-A510 at 2.0 GHz.

The past report reveals that Huawei Mate X3 will adopt a light design with a bigger battery capacity. There is also improvement planned for the hinge system to provide a better opening and closing experience for the customers.

Furthermore, Huawei has been confused about the launch of this foldable device, as it is already preparing for the unveiling of the P60 series. These two launches could clash with each other but it’s more likely that the phone maker to launch the Mate X3 ahead of the next P series flagship.

Weibot tipster DigitalChatStation reveals that the Huawei P60 series will come with Sony IMX888 main camera. While it’s expected to be the first among others to bring this new camera sensor to the market.

Past information reveals that the main camera will have the capability of variable aperture. So, there will be a second sensor in work, which is IMX789. It will provide a large f/1.4 aperture stop to bring in the highest possible light intake.

It will also have a 50-megapixel IMX 858 ultra wide-angle camera to capture all of your subjects into one photograph, so you won’t miss any of them. However, we are expecting slight improvements with the P60 series as compared to the P50 lineup.

On the other hand, there’s an OV64B telephoto camera that supports 3.5x optical zoom. To be mentioned, an OV64B image sensor is used with a 64-megapixel (MP) camera. It has a 0.7-micron pixel size and a 1/2” optical format.

Testing model:

The tipster revealed that the specifications from the Huawei P60 series testing model are the same as the final product. However, the pixel counts and image rendering could be different once the camera system is finalized.

Camera:

Similar to the past flagship devices, these features and camera specifications could post the P60 series above all. Looking at past leaks, the Huawei P60 series cover reveals a new camera design that is different from its predecessor.

It is a rectangular camera bump with a large circle in the center, it also has various openings for secondary lenses. From the appearance, the camera system of the Huawei P60 series is promising a powerful performance but we’ll have to wait to know more on this matter.

For now, Huawei has not revealed official details about the launch date but a past report reveals that the Huawei P60 series could unveil in the first quarter of 2023, somewhere in March.

The Chinese tech company also brought in the XD Fusion engine which combines the ISP and NPU to provide the best possible camera capabilities. Huawei P50 Pro is one of the best examples of aesthetics and it arranges the camera inside a dual-ring system called Dual Matrix.

Huawei took two steps further and achieved better colors powered by True-Chroma Image Engine, which takes the color accuracy near to the human eye. With these phones, Huawei created a tornado in the smartphone world and a trend that is later followed by the likes of Samsung, Apple, and Chinese phone makers.

XMAGE:

Leaving Leica behind, Huawei will debut its self-developed camera imaging system, XMAGE with the P60 series and there are some new surprises waiting for us on the way.

Yes, there are many details still missing at the moment but the current wave of enthusiasm among Huawei customers is anticipating the upcoming P60 series and this time around, P60 Ultra could come as the biggest camera phone. The past report reveals that Huawei could launch in P60 series in the first quarter of this year. Read more below.

Huawei P60 Series: Everything you need to know

The post Huawei P60 Ultra could be the biggest camera phone appeared first on Huawei Central.

For your information, a large aperture allows you to take bright images even in low-light conditions. And in daylight, the aperture helps you to retain the exact/natural amount of exposure in photographs.

Huawei is popular for using large camera aperture sensors in its smartphones. Despite the supply chain challenges, the tech maker is finding its way back to the competition.

Design:

The Huawei P60 series cover leak reveals the design of the camera module including a rectangular shape. It has a large ring cutout in the middle followed by two other secondary camera openings.

The cover also reveals an opening for LED flash and other camera components. DigitalChatStation previously reported that the main 50MP camera will use a combination of Sony IMX789+IMX888 sensors for variable aperture functionality.

While there’s a use of Sony IMX858 sensor with a 50MP Ultra Wide Angle camera. Other than that, the Huawei P60 series will also garner XMAGE camera imaging technology with improved color and image accuracy.

The cover leak also shows some other parts of the P60 lineup such as dual stereo speakers and an IR blaster for infrared remote control-supported devices. Other important aspects of the phone are likely to be powered by HarmonyOS 3.1 operating system with a number of new additions to ease the user experience.

Currently, Huawei has not released any details on the Huawei P60 series but it could unveil in March this year.

Weibo tipster DigitalChatStation shared a sketch of two devices and one of them is claimed to be the Honor Magic 5 with a triple rear camera. Looking at the arrangement, the camera system has a large ring shape camera bump including three lenses and an LED flash. The cameras are placed in a triangle form.

This is quite different from the Magic 4 and it has an LED flash at the bottom. To be mentioned, the camera has 100X zoom, and it seems that the phone uses a periscope camera on top size, as it appears rectangular.

The sketch further reveals the volume rocker and power button on the right side. There’s also another sketch on the right side but it has Hasselblad camera branding, which is unconfirmed for new Honor phones.

BOE Display:

Tipster, Classmateguan reveals that Honor Magic 5 will come with a flagship BOE screen and it will be the first time when Honor will use it.

He said that Honor Magic 5 will be lighter in design and IP68 dustproof and waterproof, which are the standards of a flagship device.

Past information reveals that Honor and BOE are collaborating closely since both of these are increasing cooperation. BOE is already a supplier of previous Honor devices including Honor Magic 4 Ultimate Edition and Magic 4 Pro.

From these two, Honor Magic 4 Ultimate Edition comes with BOE’s next-generation flexible OLED display and is equipped with BOE’s self-developed 1Hz to 120Hz adaptive frequency dynamic refresh rate technology.

According to the inputs comes from DigitalChatStation, the Huawei P60 series will use a combination of Sony IMX789 + IMX888 sensors in the main camera. Interestingly, the phone lineup will adapt these sensors under the variable aperture mechanism.

Further details reveal that the company will input a 50MP megapixel count to empower both of these sensors. While there’s a sensor size of around 1/1.4 inch.

Before we move on to the variable aperture technology, it’s worth mentioning that the IMX789 sensor was used in OnePlus 9 Pro. As per the specifications, the default of the sensor is 52MP but OnePlus chopped it to 48MP to support its imaging system. On the other hand, Huawei will also chop it on the upcoming phone.

Variable aperture:

Huawei’s variable aperture camera tech has six blade system that closes and opens in accordance with the requirement of the light.

It provides 10 aperture stops and changes the aperture settings automatically. This technology greatly enhances image quality, colors, light, and blur in backgrounds to a maximum amount.

XMAGE:

XMAGE will accompany the variable aperture in the Huawei P60 series and provide a fantastic imaging system for consumers who are looking forward to the camera flagship device. Super macro is another capability that will be improved as compared to the Huawei P50 series.

These technologies were first used in Huawei Mate 50 Pro and now the Chinese tech maker is about to debut in the P60 lineup, which would be awesome.

Huawei P60:

The camera has always been the key specialty for the P series phones and Huawei installs various photography features to the P series models to ensure they live up to the customers’ expectations.

Also, we are starting a campaign to take this issue to Huawei. Below you can check how to participate in the activity to achieve the goal.

What’s happening:

Once launched, the camera takes you to the wide mode by default and it fails to focus on the viewport. Therefore, everything on the frame is blurred. The fact is, the focus won’t trigger even if you try to do it manually.

Interestingly, a Huawei P30 Pro user demonstrated that the camera is working fine on ultra-wide and other camera modes, except the wide angle.

The wide-angle or the main camera is completely blocked by this hard-to-focus viewport. To be mentioned, the issue persists in all modes in wide-angle including video. The video also shows the issue and its core functionality that has been affected in the process.

OTA could resolve:

Even after a long time, Huawei has not responded regarding this very important and critical bug in P30 Pro. Since many users are facing the same problem, it could be a software bug, rather than a hardware issue. However, we don’t deny a possibility of either.

Sideway Fix:

Although, we don’t have an exact fix but there are some steps that might work out for your Huawei P30 Pro.

1. Restore camera to default settings
2. Clear camera app cache
3. Clear the cache partition
4. Boot safe mode to test the camera
5. Factory reset
6. Reverse back to a past EMUI version

Huawei P30 Pro camera specs:

Huawei P30 Pro features a quad camera system including 40 MP (Wide Angle Lens, f/1.6 aperture, OIS), 20 MP (Ultra Wide Angle Lens, f/2.2 aperture), 8 MP (Telephoto, f/3.4 aperture, OIS), and Huawei Time-of-Flight (TOF) Camera supports autofocus (phase focus, contrast focus) supports AIS (Huawei AI Image Stabilization).

What do we need to do?

We urge all of the Huawei P30 Pro users to take a screenshot of the camera app issue and share it on Twitter by tagging @huaweimobile with a little description of the issue and #HuaweiP30CameraIssue.
