Huawei P40 Pro To Feature a Custom Made Sony 52MP Quad Bayer Sensor, Dual-Prism Periscope Camera

 The recent report is suggesting that Huawei P40 Pro's main camera sensor is built on a 1/1.33" 52MP image sensor and it has been custom made by Sony for Huawei based on Quad Bayer Technology.

This technology will merge four pixel in one twice which ultimately form '16-in-1' image so it is also termed as '16-in-1' technology. This will help in changing the size of pixel from an average of 1.6 micro meter to 2.24 micro meter. While it will only be used for capturing the videos and photos in low light or even dark conditions. Basically you will get 3.25MP from 52 MP in dark conditions while shooting throgh that which looks a bit low (but good enough for 1080p) so it could use some form of digital upscaling.

While for normal lighting and daytime shots, this technology only merge four pixels in one once which will give a 13MP shots. This is probably the traditional Quad Bayer binning process(or Quad RYYB).

It is also rumored that the Huawei is working on a dual-prism periscope and would feature it in the Huawei P40 Pro which will bring a 10X optical Zoom. But the current periscope camera have only one prism but it will be needed to fit the dual-prism periscope in the smartphone despite the large focal length.

Huawei has trademarked various terms such as Quad Curve Overflow (probably the quad-curved screen), Ultra Vision Camera and Ultra Vision Sensor, plus 5G AR. We expect to hear what these terms and what they mean at the unveiling event scheduled for March.

There are also some reports that claim that Huawei has filed trademarks for some terms like 'Quad-Curve Overflow (probably, Quad Curved Screen), 'Ultra Vision Camera', 'Ultra Vision Sensor' and '5G AR'. We are hopeful to hear these terms and know what they are meant for at the unveiling event scheduled for the March.
