Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared that Genius Electronic Optical will provide the upgraded ultrawide camera module to Huawei for the P70 series. He didn’t go into details about the new hardware but says the P70 series will aim for 100% to 120% shipment growth compared to the P60 series.
The new ultrawide is said to have a unique 1G6P lens (with one glass and six plastic elements) and a 1-inch sensor. This would be a huge upgrade in a segment that sees at most 1/1.56 inch type sensors. Other rumors suggest a 7P lens, which would be cheaper and easier to make.
Huawei will aim for a bigger and more prominent global impact with the P70 series, bringing 5G connectivity and its own sensors. The camera system will be a big part of this. It will use the XMAGE platform, including a custom-made NPU. The ultrawide camera will reportedly be a major part of the updates.
Kuo expects the P70 series to launch in the first half of this year.
