      Daemon Targaryen, 20 May 2023Motorola needs Canon the most. Their cameras are awful.Agree. If not Canon then SOMEBODY needs to help Moto with their camera software. They have O.K. camera hardware that does not live up to the potential. A good software package would make a world of difference.

      Maybe Canon & Motorola will team up on the camera end. The consumer will benefit from that venture if they do.

        Canon should explore options with Nokia. They plan to up their stand on flagship killers. After the launch of Magic Max, they maybe in the upper league.

          Motorola worked with Kodak before, Motorola ZN5, maybe there are other models too..

            Mobilemaster, 20 May 2023Can you share with us the proof about the periscope lenses ... moreTrying to find the article. It isperiscope lenses only.
            I know it is not Largan.

              Have a nice day!

                DarlingYext, 20 May 2023Cool. At this point it's just your words against mine,... moreYou do not want accept the fact xperia does not use zeiss lenses, despite fact zeiss does not make lenses for phones.

                Your ❌ is evidence you do not believe any of stuff said, stuff that are true.

                Periscopes are built by LG Innotek and use taiwanese lenses.

                  Xiaomi would be cool

                    Daemon Targaryen, 20 May 2023Motorola needs Canon the most. Their cameras are awful.Motorola's cameras are not bad at all on their flagships this year. The edge 40 pro/x40 is on a similarly level to other phones in that price category. Certainly they are not the best but they are also not that far behind phones with similar camera hardware this year. I would like to see them use better main sensors rather than partner with anyone. I don't think the Hasselblad partnership for Oppo or the Leica partnership for Xiaomi had made a big difference in terms of actual image quality. It's more the style of images, in terms of shodows and hdr and colours that these partnerships have focused on. I think Motorola might also be a bit small for this tyoe of partnership. Guessing Honor might be the most likely partner given most of the other bog Chinese brands already have partnerships

                        Anonymous, 20 May 2023So... 1) xperia does not use zeiss lens, which it is tru... moreCool. At this point it's just your words against mine, I looked it up before my reply whether or not they actually make lenses and I found that the answer to my question was yes.

                        Prove me wrong, it's been done before.

                          1) xperia does not use zeiss lens, which it is true. They just have zeiss coating. Sony representative told Phone Arena when 1ii was announced.

                          2) Zeiss does not make lenses for phones, also true. Same applies to leica and hasselblad.

                          3) Xperia sometimes use sony lenses, sometimes not. Periscope uses lenses from taiwanese company.

                          I feel sorry if you disagree with truth. It is about what happens, not what you want to be truth.

                            Canon can correct the yellow skin/excess of sharpening from iphones, excess of NR and bizarre colours of samsung and excess of contrast/sharpening of google.
                            Any of them would benefit. Desoite the fact these " features" make certain youtubers happy ... 🤔

                              Anonymous, 20 May 2023I see, your ❌ was just for fun then. 😂If I disagree with someone I'm gonna put an ❌ on their comment yes, I think that makes sense, as that's what it's for.

                                    Z, 20 May 2023Let me narrow the candidates even more.. Honor, Realme, M... moreRealme belongs to oppo.
                                    Oppo pays hasselblad to use their logo on oppo/one plus.
                                    Why would realme use other?

                                      I feel sorry for you.

                                      Almost all phones use lenses from China or Taiwan makers.

                                        Motorola needs Canon the most. Their cameras are awful.
