Huawei Mate 30 Pro will have two large 40MP sensors on the back

05 August 2019
One is the main camera from the P30 Pro, the other is a new sensor for the ultra wide-angle camera.

    The s11 is going to have a bigger different sensor.
    It depends on a companies ability with software.
    Huawei actually has a number of advantages.
    And it has more to do dual pixel and ois than just the sensor

      Shui8, 07 Aug 2019U forgot to mention, Huawei 1.0 micron pixel size becomes 2... moreSo there's pixel binning and post processing and over softening and then over sharpening bla bla bla, honey Samsung makes 32mp 40mp sensors, 64mp sensors andd now "mind blowing" 108mp sensors why do you think they don't put those in flagships because the quality of them is nowhere near the quality of the 12mp Dual Pixel sensor samsung included from the s7 up to note 10. Best for low light, colors, auto-focus, video and a ton of other situations. try them in real world and come talk to me again

        They are not the exact same as having pixels with that pitch. Maybe not very far away. And they still have a good strength vs a standard 1-1.4 micron pixel.
        And a lot of gains in huawei are from the special sensor.

Of course without using a dedicated night mode. I don't know what you mean by "non of the results seem to reflect that" but it's very much evident from the sample images that Mate 20 Pro's is more light sensitive than 1/2.55 inch sensor used on S10. It becomes obvious when you start pixel peeping.

                AnonD-706668, 07 Aug 2019i think not Then you clearly don't have a single clue what you are talking about.
                Given the dance tech and variables a larger pixel will always work better.
                It might not be in every conceivable situation or as noticeable everywhere. But it will perform better.

                So if the iphone went 1.5microns on that exact same device and sensor down to 1.22 microns it would not lose any performance in hdr, exposure, noise, shutter speed, or low light???

                And didnt all other devices move up from 1-1.2 micron sensors to 1.4 micron ones...even dropping from 16-24mp sensors down to 12mp ones just because of the performance gains of the larger pixels?????

                But according to you.... oh...I think not......

While i do agree pure physical pixel size might be better, pixel-binning method still works nonetheless & got the advantage to utilize 40mp on certain situations at the same time.

                      Given on P20 Pro era, literally it has the best highlights control, better dynamic range than others, and can even handle high ISO photos in a good manner. Tap on the link above, go to 'extreme low light photography' section, compare the 10mp Auto (not Night mode) with others, yeah i can safely say it left others to dust.

While the actual light sensitivity of pixel binned 1µm pixels is technically ever so slightly lower than that of real 2µm pixels, they are very much comparable the difference is insignificant if not non-existent. The light information from 4 pixels is added together rather than averaged, after all.

                                I specifically said it has its strengths. Just not physically exactly the same as actually being 2um.

                                And because of that you fly off your rocker in defense starting to praise it and go on about scientific proof. Yeah proof it improves things. Not that it's literally exactly the same as having 2-2.3um....

Huawei 10mp resolution is one most if not the best in terms of low light photography, since P20 Pro they using it (minus Night Mode & RYYB sensor). Bigger pixel size, more lights come in, better low lights.

                                  Also if u switch to 40mp, low lights became worst. So yeah the pixel binning method to double up the pixel size is indeed working. Its scientific proven by facts.

                                    Just giving small pixels a wide aperture doesn't magically make it amazing.
