The opening small theater: the legendary counterattack of the Huawei P series
Speaking of imaging flagships, you may think of the Huawei P series, the series that once stunned the iPhone X and Samsung S9. Do you remember the combination of the IMX600 main camera and the black and white lens of the Huawei P20 Pro? Even the P60 series, which is slightly inferior in hardware configuration, still relies on its algorithm magic to make the image strength still online.
The latest revelations: the design and sensors of the Huawei P70 series
Design a new style
Recently, a blogger revealed the design drawings of the Huawei P70 series. The image shows that the Huawei P70 will use a rectangular camera module, and the three lenses seem to hint at the classic combination of wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto. However, there is no trace of a periscope telephoto lens, is this a mystery or something else?
Sensor competition
The sensor configuration of the Huawei P70 standard and Pro versions has also been revealed. The standard version will be equipped with the OV50H sensor, while the Pro version will be equipped with Sony's IMX989. The pixel and sensor dimensions for both are shown in the table below:
| version | Sensor model | size | pixel |
| Standard Edition | OV50H | 1/1.28 inch | 50 million |
| Pro version | IMX989 | 1 inch | undetermined |
If it is paired with Huawei's XMAGE image system, the image strength is not covered.

Small actions in offline stores
Recently, some netizens broke the news that some offline stores have begun to accept reservations for Huawei P70 series. Although this may just be a marketing ploy for merchants, it has to be said that this also indirectly indicates that the release of the Huawei P70 series may be just around the corner.
Release time prediction
Looking back at the release history of the Huawei P series, most of them are unveiled in late March every year. Although the P50 series has been delayed to July due to sanctions, the return of the Kirin 5G chip may indicate that Huawei's P series will return to its normal update rhythm. In March of this year, we may be able to see the Huawei P70 series, are you ready?
