-[* black] Next, we pull a few square camera modules from their home in the round Space Ring.
+[* black] We can now pull a few square camera modules from their home in the round ''Space Ring.''
[* black] Here are the Mate 40 Pro cameras laid bare:
[* red] 50 MP, ƒ/1.9 wide camera (23 mm) with a 1/1.28" RYYB pattern Sony IMX700Y sensor (1.22 µm pixel size)
- [* black] By comparison, the new wide sensor in the [guide|138640|iPhone 12 Pro Max|stepid=276000|new_window=true] touts a 1.7µm individual pixel size.
- [* icon_note] Generally speaking, larger pixels in a camera sensor are able to absorb more light and therefore better capture images in low-light scenarios. Pixel size doesn't always directly correlate to better images though, especially with all the computational photography that smartphones are doing these days.
- [* orange] 12 MP, ƒ/3.4, telephoto camera (125 mm) with 5x optical zoom and OIS featuring an RYYB pattern Sony IMX351Y sensor.
- [* yellow] 20 MP, ƒ/1.8, ultrawide camera (18 mm), featuring an RGB pattern Sony IMX718 sensor.
-[* black] After all those numbers we pick our calculator and come to one last conclusion—the periscope camera got its own housing this year which means it can now be replaced on its own. Yay modularity!
