Supply chain sources reveal that the high-end variants of Huawei Mate 70 will adopt a new main camera sensor by Sony. This new sensor could be an improved version of the IMX989 primary lens, that appeared with the Pura 70 Ultra smartphone.

Earlier we reported that Huawei has been testing several camera sensors for the Mate 70 lineup. Some of these belonged to OmniVision while others were from Sony.

Now the supply chain sources say that Huawei will use an enhanced Sony main camera sensor for the Mate 70 high-end models. The input further states that the standard variant will use the OmniVision OV50H primary camera sensor.

The details didn’t reveal the name of the Sony camera sensor. Although it could be LYT-900 which is said to be the improved version of the IMX 989 camera sensor.

Pura 70 Ultra uses the IMX989 1-inch 50MP main camera sensor and we are well aware of its photography results. This time, the company may use a new Lytia LYT-900 one-inch main camera sensor that Sony announced last year.

Lytia LYT-900 camera sensor runs on stacked CMOS technology. It bears two separate layers of transistor and photodiode. Due to the dual-layer mechanism, the sensor is capable of capturing more light and offers the best results in low-light scenarios.

Other benefits of this sensor are unknown. But Huawei might use this lens for the Mate 70 series high-end models. The new camera sensor usage is based on speculations. The accurate details will be out after the official unveiling of the new handsets

Apart from the camera sensor, the supply chain sources mentioned that the company will introduce cutting-edge AI capabilities with the Mate 70. One can expect better video recording tools, image and video editing features, real-time translation, text summary, and more with the upcoming devices.

Huawei Mate 70 series will mainly focus on the performance aspects. But it doesn’t mean that the lineup will lag in terms of photography. The latest input hints that consumers will get a new imaging experience with the Mate 70 smartphone.
