According to the latest update, it is reported that the new information indicates that Huawei’s forthcoming Mate 80 series may be introduced with a significant camera enhancement.
There is speculation that Huawei is set to utilize a domestically produced flagship-level image sensor from SmartSens in its upcoming products. From the information available, the sensor seems to be specifically designed for high-performance photography in flagship smartphones.
SmartSens SC595XS to drive the Mate 80’s primary camera
The sensor in question is the SmartSens SC595XS, a 50-megapixel mobile CMOS image sensor featuring a 1/1.28-inch sensor size, which was officially announced last month. Utilizing the company’s SuperPixGain HDR technology, it achieves an extensive dynamic range of up to 110dB—approximately 22dB greater than its predecessor on the same platform.
This sensor is engineered to manage intricate lighting situations, including severe backlighting and high-contrast environments, effectively maintaining details in both highlights and shadows. It also facilitates 4K video recording at 60fps with HDR and 120fps at standard high frame rates, providing an advantage for mobile videography.
Moreover, the SC595XS incorporates 1.22μm large pixels and is constructed on the SFCPixel-2 architecture. This design enhances light sensitivity and minimizes noise levels, which are especially advantageous in low-light conditions.
