While Digital Chat Station didn’t name which phone would sport the 160MP periscope lens, he mentioned that the device would carry Porsche branding. In a previous post, the leaker said that Honor and Porche Design were working together which means that the Honor Magic 6 series could contain the phone with the 160MP periscope camera. It goes without saying (but we will anyway) that this would be the highest-resolution telephoto camera ever found on a smartphone.
Digital Chat Station writes about a rumored 160MP periscope camera on an upcoming phone
The problem with such a large resolution sensor is that the sensor itself and the pixels could be small which would negatively impact images shot with the periscope camera in low-light environments. It could also lead to increased noise and a reduction in dynamic range. Pixel binning could allow the smaller pixels to carry more information that might make up for some of the reduction in sensor and pixel size.
Here’s the thing. There is a rumor circulating that the Vivo X100 Pro Plus will sport a 200MP telephoto camera. Samsung’s semiconductor division has said that the “next big thing in smartphone photography” is a 200MP telephoto camera for smartphone. What this shows is that no matter what you might want to think, the real innovation in the smartphone industry continues to come out of China.
