Camera details of Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max and RS have been leaked. It will come with 10x optical zoom, dual periscope lenses and a 1-inch main camera sensor.
This breakthrough goes beyond digital zoom technologies and promises a completely lossless and flawless long-range shooting experience. These new leaks, which will completely change the camera competition in the smartphone market, are creating great excitement in the technology world before the launch of the device in October.
The highlights of the leaked camera features of the new generation flagship Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max and RS models are listed as follows:
10x Optical Zoom:One of the lenses in the dual periscope telephoto camera system to be included in the devices offers true 10x optical zoom without the need for artificial intelligence support.
1 Inch Giant Main Sensor:Huawei is testing a special 1-inch sensor in the main camera of the Mate 90 Pro Max and RS Ultimate models that will maximize light collection performance.
Differentiating Resolution Strategy:While high-resolution 200-megapixel sensors stand out in the standard Mate 90 models, a massive 50-megapixel sensor architecture with larger pixel size is preferred in the Pro Max and RS models.
True 10x Optical Zoom Returns with Dual Periscope Telephoto System
Huawei is reviving the true long-range optical zoom technology, which it captured in the P40 Pro + model in the past and has been forgotten for a long time, with the Mate 90 series.
Leak sources confirm that the Mate 90 Pro Max model will feature a dual periscope camera setup, and one of these cameras will offer pure, lossless 10x optical zoom. The optical limits of 4x and 6.2x offered in the previous generation Mate 80 Pro Max model are thus moved to a much higher level.
True 10x optical zoom means a very different optical performance than digital zooms achieved by cropping megapixel values.
This zoom, provided by the movement of physical glass elements within the lens, preserves the full resolution of the sensor and reduces the loss of detail to zero. When combined with XMAGE imaging technology and advanced algorithmic support, this system allows taking completely smooth and lossless photos up to 20x levels.
1 Inch Main Sensor Technology that rivals professional cameras
Not only limited to zoom capabilities, Huawei is taking a revolutionary step in the main camera of the Mate 90 Pro Max and Mate 90 RS Ultimate models. The company is working hard to integrate the 1-inch main camera sensor, which is currently in the evaluation phase, into these top models.
The 1-inch physical sensor has the capacity to collect much more light than standard smartphone sensors. While this prevents noise, especially in night shots, it increases the dynamic range and gives photos a natural sense of depth (bokeh effect) like in professional DSLR cameras.
The strategy that Huawei will follow in this series also attracts attention. The company plans to use 200 MP resolution sensors in the standard Mate 90 and Pro models, following the high megapixel trend.
However, knowing that the sensor size determines the photo quality rather than the number of resolution, Huawei engineers turn to large pixel sensors with 1 inch 50 MP resolution in the Pro Max and RS models, which are the highest level models. Thus, pure image quality becomes the focus for professional users.
Double Layer OLED Screen and Renewed Design Lines
These huge hardware updates on the camera side also bring about some radical changes in the design of the device. The design of the camera module is completely renewed due to the space that the huge sensors and double periscope lenses will occupy on the back cover. However, leaks show that the Mate 90 Pro Max and RS models will also undergo a major innovation in screen technology.
In the new flagship models, a completely flat screen design is adopted, in line with the trend of avoiding curved screens seen in the industry in general lately.
However, this flat screen is equipped with double-layer (tandem) OLED panel technology. In this way, the screen can both reach much higher brightness levels and directly contribute to the battery life of the device by keeping power consumption to a minimum.
With its advanced macro capabilities, special sensors produced in collaboration with SmartSens and revolutionary zoom features, the Huawei Mate 90 series aims to raise the bar higher than ever in portable photography.
