Huawei is working on a smartphone with 55x digital zoom, an innovative feature for the Chinese company. Here’s on which model will be present
A new rumor appeared online in recent days sees Huawei ready, it seems, to present a smartphone equipped with a 55x digital zoom. At present, however, it is still unclear whether this innovation will be introduced on a Huawei phone or on an Honor device.
An image revealed online by a blogger on the social Weibo shows a screenshot of the EMUI-based camera app that depicts a side icon with the 55x zoom. Currently, there is nothing similar neither on a phone from the Chinese company, nor on Honor-branded devices. The Chinese manufacturer is quickly recovering from the stop imposed due to the Covid-19 outbreak and is preparing to launch a number of new models, low-cost phones, but also and especially high-end devices.
Camera with 55x zoom: on which smartphone it arrives
Huawei has been producing smartphones for a decade, but the Chinese company never focused its efforts on the photographic compartment until the arrival of the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus, two devices that marked the beginning of the Chinese giant’s successful collaboration with Leica. Collaboration that has seen churning out other interesting devices such as the P20 Pro, and the P30 Pro equipped with 3x optical zoom and 5x periscopic optical zoom, devices that have laid the groundwork for the arrival of the current Huawei P40 Pro Plus with 10x periscopic optical zoom.
But Huawei phones in addition to the optical zoom functionality are equipped with a digital zoom equal to 50x and present on the P30 Pro and P40 Pro phones, as well as a 100x zoom supplied with the P40 Pro + model. But the screenshot circulated by the Chinese blogger shows something completely different, never seen on a Huawei device, so much so that it suggests that it is a new smartphone that should debut in the coming months.
That said, Huawei is going to churn out several models such as the Mate 40 series, the Nova 7 series, while Honor is ready to launch the Honor 30. All Pro models that could be equipped with the new 55x zoom system. But according to the usual well-informed, this “honor” could go to the Honor 30 Pro phone, whose images leaked in recent days on the network show a particular periscope camera that could accommodate the 55x zoom.
