Huawei Mate 70 series to feature China-developed image sensors for its main cameras

Tech blogger Digital Chat Station revealed on Chinese social media platform Weibo yesterday that Huawei’s next-gen flagship Mate 70 series smartphones will feature main cameras equipped with domestically-produced CIS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Image Sensor) chips from OmniVision Technologies. The standard version is expected to be equipped with the OV50H, while the premium version will feature the OV50K. The OV50K, a new image sensor produced by OmniVision this year, features a large 1/1.3-inch sensor and supports LOFIC (al OverFlow Integration Capacitor) technology that enhances image quality by reducing noise and improving detail in low-light conditions. The Mate 70 series will debut the new Kirin 5G chipset and is set to launch in the latter half of this year, according to local media outlet Icsmart. [Icsmart, in Chinese]
