Zuzuz, 13 Apr 2023Nobody wants to pay fees for their techNobody would pay royalties. Pay for the service.

LG innotek builds the camera modules. Sensors + lenses + OIS are delivered at LG Innotek, the put it together and send back to OEMs.

Nobody is using because having 2 cameras is cheaper solution.

    Another dead on arrival. Just like any other chinese flagships. 99% chinese phone user only spend under 200 USD for a phone.

              My 11ultra from 2 years ago had 1/2.0" sensors for telephoto and ultrawide. Now downgrade to smaller 1/2.51"????? 🤔 No thanks 😑

                Anton-, 13 Apr 2023Of course, to take fake photos of the moon, right? ha ha haWhere was you when Huawei was accussed of doing fake moonshots and i mean actually fake rather than doing a AI upscaling.

                  if the post-processing is mediocre, it doesn't matter the sensor size or the number of megapixels !!!

                        hopefully the front camera is also from sony and thus we avoid the presence of samsung, at least in the sensors

                          If the 858 is smaller than 1/1.5 than no buy. Better OPPO FIND X6 PRO

                            Small correction, yes IMX 989 not T969

                                Imx598 : 1/2" (8mm diagonal)
                                Imx858: 1/2.51" ( 7,1mm diagonal)

                                25% smaller.

                                  I'm more interested to see the dual aperture and how that pans out than the zoom. An f4.0 aperture could be useful for some daytime scenarios with the imx989 to keep more in focus. The zoom range should also be good but not expecting the shorter range zoom to be not as good as the find x6 pro at least in less than ideal lighting. It will be difficult for 1/2.51" sensors to match 1/1.56" ones. Overall though this looks promising. If only they can match the price of the find x6 pro.. I hope they can also give better band support on this phone to match the flagships from the other Chinese brands
