Featured smartphones, and even some mid-range offerings, dual camera sport that is used for everything from wide corners to portrait images. Huawei's P20 and P20 Plus, on the other hand, may have the honor to be the first smartphone with three main cameras.
- Huawei sent the Android Authority to a press saying that all but confirmed the three main cameras P20 and P20 Plus.
- If true, they will be the first phone featuring three rear cameras.
- The third camera is rumored to allow hybrid zoom up to 5x.
The previous report mentioned a pair of Huawei's flagship smartphone with three cameras, but the company invited us to hold a March 23 press conference, but all confirmed the report.
The invitation shows a picture of three circles that overlap with the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Huawei even a bit clever and asked us to "see mooore with AI." In addition to the blatant misspellings, the word "mooore" also contains three O letters.
Huawei only played with us this time, but this all pointed P20 and P20 Plus with three main cameras. Leica is expected to jointly develop the setup, which may come in 40 MP with a 5x hybrid zoom. It will beat the pants from OnePlus 5 and iPhone X, which go up to 2x optical zoom with their camera.
In related news, the P20 Lite is swung by the FCC with nuances like iPhone X above. The P20 Lite can be a front camera, earpiece, and other hardware, even though the certification document does not say more on this front.
The documents also reveal the dimensions of P20 Lite. They add up to about a 5.8 to 6.0 inch screen with a resolution of 2,280 x 1,080 and a 19: 9 aspect ratio. That is a rare aspect ratio, because even 18: 9 aspect ratio will have black bars on either side.
Finally, setting the vertical camera on the back means P20 Lite can display two main cameras.
We will learn more about the P20 family on March 27 in Paris, France.
