Huawei is expected to announce the P60 series in China next week, and company accounts on Weibo continue to post official teasers and videos of the new flagship P60 Pro’s zoom capabilities.
According to Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei CBG, the new phone will be able to take a photo with the sun in the frame, while keeping foreground details properly lit and visible.

The phone will also take detailed photos in almost complete darkness where the object is backlit. An official video also hinted that the phone would be capable of taking incredibly detailed images of the moon which, in theory, would be able to circumvent the laws of optics and physics.
Setting aside the moonshot claims, Huawei is expected to bring a new type of periscope lens that would be responsible for even better night photos. The new OV64B sensor array will be RYYB, removing the green pixel, which, in theory, would allow more light into dimly lit photos. It will come with a 6P lens behind Prism OIS and offer 3.6x zoom, a patent disclosed by CNIPA.

The other cameras of the Huawei P60 Pro are expected to be a 50MP main unit with a 1/1.4″ Sony IMX888 sensor and f/1.4-4.0 variable aperture. The third camera will have an ultrawide lens and a 50MP 1/2.51-inch Sony IMX858 sensor.
The P-series has always strived to bring out the best in photography and we have no doubt that Huawei has great technologies up its sleeve. We hope to hear more details in the 10 days leading up to the March 23 event.
