        Wasnt it that the s22u will have a "improved" HM3 Sensor ? Thats now a pretty disruptive News ^^.

        And Huawei is using RBGY and not RGBW or am i wrong ? They used additional BW Sensors sometimes but i didnt see a particula advantage in that, especially when compared to Huawei devices that have no extra BW Sensor.

        In the end i wonder if that are all cost cutting features, not Quality improving.
        Sony and Nokia have RGB in nearly all devices and have to this day the best Pictures imho.

            After performing this stunt, mocking them as seen in the link below, they're now joining them instead!

                                I imagine that a RGBW sensor could also lead to better high resolution images. 50 megapixel Quad Bayer sensors don't have 50 megapixels of luminance data (luminance consists of red, green and blue) in contrast to a 50 megapixel monochrome sensor.

                                      You cannot make bayer RGGB become WRGB , quadbayer RGGB or RYYB by doing software tricks.

                                        Honestly it's on quite a few phones. So theres nothing special.
