Smartphone cameras have come a long way in recent years, with AI enhancements further improving the experience for consumers. Going by the current trend and developments, it wouldn’t be a total surprise to see even more advancements. If the current rumors are anything to go by, a smartphone with two 200MP cameras could soon become a reality. The brand that’ll allegedly embrace this setup is Huawei , and the phone could be the Huawei Pura 90 Ultra.
Huawei Pura 90 Ultra could be the first smartphone to use two 200MP cameras
The Huawei Pura 90 Ultra will be a successor to the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, which currently holds the top spot in DXOMARK smartphone camera rankings. Prolific leaker Digital Chat Station in a post on Weibo shared that one of China’s top five smartphone manufacturers is developing a dual 200MP camera setup, with the solution including a 200MP main sensor and a 200MP periscope telephoto lens. Both sensors could feature larger sensor bases than usual.
Huawei Pura 90 Ultra may debut next year
Another leaker, ExperienceMore, notes (via Huawei Central ) that Huawei Pura 90 Pro+/Ultra variants are testing 200MP main and telephoto sensors. The Weibo even post goes to claim that Apple is also evaluating a 200MP imaging sensor for its next-gen iPhone models. However, we can’t confirm the authenticity of the leak at the moment.
While more megapixels don’t naturally mean top-class performance, it’s impressive that a brand is daring to incorporate two 200MP cameras. If the new leaks pan out, Pura 90 Ultra could be the world’s first smartphone with a dual-200MP camera setup. We’ve already seen a glimpse of what a 200MP camera can do with the Galaxy S24 Ultra and 25 Ultra. The larger sensors are capable of delivering sharper textures and richer details.
