  • We can now pull a few square camera modules from their home in the round Space Ring.

  • Here are the Mate 40 Pro cameras laid bare:

  • 50 MP, ƒ/1.9 wide camera (23 mm) with a 1/1.28" RYYB pattern Sony IMX700Y sensor (1.22 µm pixel size)

  • By comparison, the new wide sensor in the iPhone 12 Pro Max touts a 1.7µm individual pixel size, albeit at lower res.

  • Generally speaking, larger camera sensor pixels can absorb more light and capture sharper images in low-light scenarios. Pixel size doesn't always directly correlate to better images though, especially with modern computational photography tricks.

  • 12 MP, ƒ/3.4, telephoto camera (125 mm) with 5x optical zoom and OIS featuring an RYYB pattern Sony IMX351Y sensor

  • 20 MP, ƒ/1.8, ultrawide camera (18 mm), featuring an RGB pattern Sony IMX718 sensor

  • One final note on cameras—the periscope zoom got its own housing this year, which means it can now be replaced on its own. Yay modularity!
